Welcome to our “simply complicated life….”
Did you ever wonder how life gets like that? We layer on thing after thing, and suddenly we are standing In the middle of a vast forest of obligations, complications, intentions and frustrations.
Does it always have to be like this or is there a better way?
Recently, Julie and I hosted my friend and wise sage Greg Burns from The Contrary Farmstead Podcast at our Minneapolis home. Greg was in town for a project, but he spent several hours with us. We fed him a hot dinner, exchanged some wonderful gifts (Nature’s Image Farm honey and applesauce for Small Scale Life jam, dilly beans and DomBucha Kombucha), and had a great conversation!
Fortunately for you, my dear Lifers, this conversation was captured and converted into an episode on the Contrary Farmstead Podcast.
Topics Discussed – Our Simply Complicated Life
Julie and I discussed the following topics with Greg during this episode:
- Why did we start blogging and podcasting?
- Finding balance in life can be tricky sometimes. Even a simple life can be extraordinarily complicated.
- How can we support each other when our passions, goals and dreams don’t necessarily align with our spouses?
- How do we help our partner grow and fulfill their calling?
- Are we trading one rat race (in the urban area) for another (in a rural area)?

Thank you, Greg, for coming to our humble home in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and spending some time with us. The gifts were awesome, and we really enjoyed your honey and the applesauce. Delicious!
It is always a pleasure to get together, talk, and laugh! I can’t wait to visit you at Nature’s Image Farm in Ohio, see the apiary and hang out with you, Susan and the family.
