Do you ever feel like there aren't enough hours in the day? That your calendar is full and overwhelming? That busy is your new normal and you wish it weren't? When my schedule gets too full, I know that something needs to change and that usually it means I need to sit down and have a come to Jesus meeting about my priorities. I need prayer, I need perspective, and I need practical steps. Our guest today is going to speak with us about all of those needs. Overextending ourselves…most of us want to change…   Most modern moms feel overextended and like they want change. Crystal is just the encourager we need to work through those feelings and make actual change. You are going to leave this episode renewed—I was…three times over! Once after reading her book, again after this conversation, and once more when I was editing this episode. At the end of the show I share 4 ways that Crystal's book changed my life. Get ready for some tips, encouragement, and fresh perspective about how to best budget our time as moms.   Crystal's Bio: Crystal Paine is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com, host of The Crystal Paine Show podcast, and a New York Times bestselling author. Her desire is to help women across the globe live with more joy, purpose, and intention in their everyday lives. She lives with her husband and six kids in the Nashville, Tennessee, area, where she is actively involved in her local church. Her biggest passions are helping women understand how the gospel can radically transform their lives, raising awareness for foster care, going on adventures with her family (locally, domestically, and internationally), finding great deals at the grocery store, having heartfelt conversations, and trying to read too many books at one time!

There are so many times in my life I've wondered if I'm a people pleaser. I've wondered if I was taught to be, if everyone in our society is to some degree. I've questioned if some of my decisions are centered around people pleasing, and if it's something I need to work on it my life. Am I modeling it for my kids? Expecting it from them unintentionally? I'm sure you're here because you've wondered similar things.   My friend Lynn Carter is here to help us unpack our people pleasing habits and provide us with some much needed perspective to refocus our time, attention, values, and schedules and shake our people pleasing tendencies. She's sweet, funny, kind, and encouraging. She tackles this conversation without making it a “heavy” and for that I'm so grateful.   Lynn's Bio: Lynn Carter is the creator and host of The Good News Mama Podcast, she is a wife, boy mom, her sons' coach (which she talks about in the show), and my dear friend.

Season 2 Episode 785/20/22 We visited Bardstown. We hit the 1792 Distillery. They were the only distillery that offered a free tour. We parked in Bardstown and walked 20 minutes to it. They gave a great 45 minute tour and provided 4 samples and a piece of bourbon chocolate. We bought a few bottles and some if the bourbon chocolates. We learned they are ending the tour and gift shop in June 2022. We then walked around town and had Kentucky Fried chicken and cornbread which were delicious at Mammy's. We then checked a bunch of bars and only found 2 that were having live music but neither bands were playing bluegrass. So we went to McIntyre's Winery. I liked their Corn Cob Wine which I had never heard of Lol. The next morning we drove for about an hour, dropped the rig and took the Jeep to the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill. We figured we would spend an hour there. Well we ended up being there for 3 hours. We took a great tour and learned about the history of the Shakers. https://shakervillageky.org/Shaker We will return. We then went to Wildside Winery which is a Harvest Host location. We sampled a couple wines and bought a couple bottles. We are 60 miles from Church Hill Downs so we watched the derby on TV. The next day we drove to Callies Campground in Red River Gorge. We checked in got set up and then headed over to natural bridge State resort Park in Kentucky. This park is a part of the Red River Gorge geological area which is in the Daniel Boone National Forest which is part of the Cumberland ranger district. We hiked the natural bridge trail which was only about a half a mile but went straight up hill for 500 ft. This is really an impressive Arch. We hiked on top of the crossed over it and hike for another mile to more viewpoints overlooking the Daniel Boone National Forest. We did a total of 4 miles which was perfect. We then drove over to Miguel's Pizza. A few people have told us you need to eat there so we did. The amazing thing is with their pizzas and they have a list of around 30 different toppings that you can add to create your own. Us being from New York and New Jersey like a thinner crispier crust and our pizza but other than that this was delicious. We then stopped in at Gorge Outfitters. We got into a conversation with the owner who gave us tips on numerous trails and parks to see. Visit them, they are wonderful. https://gorrg.com/The next day we hiked the Auxier Ridge trail by recommendation from the server at Miguel's. The next morning we decided to stay in this park for an extra night. We drove over to Nada tunnel. We had this tunnel saved on our Google maps for about a year or so and we do know that NADA means nothing. So we assumed that not a tunnel but a tunnel to nowhere. However we found out that it's a hand carved tunnel that originated as a railroad tunnel way back when. Now it's a single Lane car tunnel that is really awesome to drive through. Here is a link to our pictures of those 2 hikes. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWrLZHsTIG/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= And hers pics of the nada tunnel https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWwUXcMqgM/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= We also learned that this area has the second highest number of arches in the US, of course the #1 area is Arches National Park. So after hitting the tunnel we drove around to the trailhead for the Auxier Ridge trail. We knew that this was going to be a 2.2 mile hike to the edge of the Ridge and then back. But we got to a beautiful overlook had a snack and a glass of wine and sore across the valley was twin Arch. So we pulled out our maps and we realized that there's another trail at the end of The Ridge trail that joins up and takes you to the twin Arch so we changed our plans and that's what we did. So it turned out to be an 8 mile beautiful hike. The next day we decided to stay an extra night to do numerous short hikes to give our legs a break. Beautiful ! Lots of arches.From here we were going to be staying at the Kanawha State Park in Kentucky we had the campground reserved and the campsite fit a 37 ft motorhome. we had reserved this a couple of months ago. Luckily Trish was looking on line and she saw a lot of people said you'll never make it up the road in a motorhome. We called canceled our reservation and they refunded our money. We then went to Roadside Park Port Of St. Albans. (304) 722-4625https://maps.app.goo.gl/ENR6t9DctNYY8dRU8And stayed there for one night. We'll never stay there again. Too many smelly factories and super loud traffic all night long. We got up the next morning and drove to Point Pleasant WV. To visit the Mothman Museum. And to see the Silver Bridge which collapsed in 1967 people in point pleasant WV kept seeing a winged creature around a bridge in town. Shortly after the bridge collapsed. Some people say he was scaring people away from the bridge and others say he made it collapse. That sparked the movie. Are the two connected? Here's pics https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdg1WMDpwY7/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=After that we dumped and we drove about an hour and a half across Rt 60 which I did not like to Babcock State Park we pulled into our site. Set up was intending to do a walk off of a short hike. But we met a couple and got into a nice conversation with them. Hi Kenneth and Elaine if your listening. But then went back to the rig grilled some pizza and then met up with Kenneth and Elaine again and talked for a couple of hours. The next day we had a few different trails in the park totaling a little over 6 miles. Very beautiful. And then had a relaxing evening and did another walk around the campground. Want pics? Here ya go https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdg13mwJ0ku/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= The next morning we dumped filled with fresh water and drove to Calhoun county park. $20/nite with 30 amp and water. No one else there and nothing to do for 30+ miles. It was 85 degrees so we didn't want to even walk around the "park". The next day we drove to the Sweeter Side of the Feud Winery. We met and talked for over an hour with Mark Hatfield who is the great, great grandson of Devil Anse Hatfield of the famous Hatfield and McCoy Feud. We walked in and Brenda invited us over to sample some of their wines. Within walk down the bar to where Mark was standing. He started pouring samples of different Bourbons whiskeys and moonshines. Some of these samples were full shot and then I asked him about one of the other flavored ones they had and he said pour some and try it. I've never seen this before in any Distillery or Winery ever. You could walk up and down the bar and pour a shot after shot if you wanted to. Wow ! I didn't count all the different flavors but I did stop counting at 42. Unreal what a nice down to earth guy Mark is. We board our fair share and a shirt. But after we got back to the rig the one thing I wish I had done was to get a picture with Mark Hatfield. https://sweetersideofthefeud.com/We then went to Chestnut ridge winery. Porta bottle of wine had a glass on their porch. https://chestnutridgewinery.com/Then headed back to the rig for a quiet evening. It was a bit cooler than it was yesterday so we decided to walk around the campground and we grew a greater appreciation of this county park. They have a historic village hidden away. With a school house post office etc . We found these while walking around. They have a few ponds with benches overlooking them. And then we saw that there was going to be a lunar eclipse that evening. Now this county park is listed as a dark space. So we waited till around 10:00 and the eclipse was just starting It was supposed to be really bad rains but that never settled in. So I ended up grabbing my good canon camera set up a tripod focused in on the moon and got some great photos of the red moon eclipse. Then morning around 6:00 a.m. the rains came in. Around 10:00 a.m. we packed up and headed to our next stop. So what do you do to help MANAGE your STRESS? Perhaps you or someone you know would benefit from listening to Stress Management Exercises?

What's Yuletide? What's the difference between Yuletide and Christmas? What is Celtic Christmas music? Plus, hobbits show up in my latest Christmas single. It's all on Pub Songs & Stories #246. WHO'S PLAYING IN THE PUB TODAY Welcome to Pub Songs & Stories. This is the Virtual Public House to share stories and inspiration behind music with your host Marc Gunn. Subscribe to the podcast and download free music at PubSong.com. 0:25 -  WHAT'S NEW? The kids got to decorate a Christmas tree yesterday. It was not ours. Which seemed kind of an odd thing to do. Maybe it's my solitary nature. I never thought of tree decorating as a communal experience. But then again, I've never had friends quite like those I have living in Georgia. Hopefully, our tree will be up by the time this goes live. Because I also need to get some pictures and videos to promote the holiday season. Today's show is brought to you by my Gunn Runners on Patreon. Thanks to my newest Patron: Brian Petty. I can't begin to thank you enough for your support. I'm getting closer to releasing my new song “Blink” over on Patreon. More than just a video. I also recorded “Come Adventure With Me”. That's the next single for In the ‘Verse podcast. And very soon, I will share my plans for 2022. They will include a big change to this podcast and other things I do. What are you doing while listening to Pub Songs & Stories? I'd love your thoughts and feedback. So take a picture of yourself or where you are or what one of these stories reminds you of. Post it on social media. Use the hashtag #pubstories so I can find it and share your story. What song would you like to hear more about? 1:46 - WHAT IS YULETIDE? Here's some of what Wikipedia has to say about Yule: “Yule is a winter festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples. Much like Christmas, it has pagan roots. Scholars connected the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Modraniht. Later departing from its pagan roots, Yule underwent Christianised reformulation, resulting in the term Christmastide. Some present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others may have connections to older pagan Yule traditions. The Saga of Hákon the Good credits King Haakon I of Norway who ruled from 934 to 961 with the Christianization of Norway as well as rescheduling Yule to coincide with Christian celebrations held at the time. The saga says that when Haakon arrived in Norway he was a confirmed Christian, but since the land was still altogether heathen and the people retained their pagan practices, Haakon hid his Christianity to receive the help of the "great chieftains". In time, Haakon had a law passed establishing that Yule celebrations were to take place at the same time as the Christians celebrated Christmas, "and at that time everyone was to have ale for the celebration with a measure of grain, or else pay fines, and had to keep the holiday while the ale lasted." Scholars have connected the Yule period to the Wild Hunt (a ghostly procession in the winter sky), the god Odin (who is attested in Germanic areas as leading the Wild Hunt and bears the name Jólnir), and increased supernatural activity, such as the Wild Hunt and the increased activities of draugar—undead beings who walk the earth. Modraniht, an event focused on collective female beings attested by Bede as having occurred among the pagan Anglo-Saxons on what is now Christmas Eve, has been seen as further evidence of a fertility event during the Yule period.” You can read more about Yuletide on Wikipedia. Now I've heard it said that JRR Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, in part, to give England its own folk tales. So one of the things I love about my first story is that Yuletide better encapsulates the hobbit winter celebrations than say Christmas. At least in name. 4:55 - STORY OF YULETIDE During live shows, I talk about the little hobbit village that happens every three years in Kentucky. It's called ALEP, A Long Expected Party. A gross of Tolkien enthusiasts gather together at the Shaker Village to celebrate all things Lord of the Rings. Not just celebrate. To Create. Folks who go to ALEP become a part of the world Tolkien created. Yes, there are amazing stories we get from Michael Drout. But also, there's art, and writings, and costuming, and music. All by people who love Lord of the Rings so much that they create their own art. Nancy Flynn is one of those people. She enjoys my music and sends me lyrics now and again. She wrote the lyrics “The Smial or the Tree” from my CD, Sci Fi Drinking Songs. In 2012, she sent me lyrics to two Christmas songs: “Christmas in the Shire” and “Yuletide”. I loved the lyrics for both. “Christmas in the Shire” was the first song that I set to music. It's also still my favorite Christmas song that I love to hear. I love the melody. But it is nothing without the wholesome down-to-earth lyrics that accompany it. That's one of the things I love about hobbits. It's just down-to-earth. Or down-to-middle-earth as the case may be. The other song, “Yuletide” sat on my shelf for quite a bit longer. The lyrics are again down-to-earth. It's a song about how hobbits celebrate Yuletide. There are invitations to friends. There's dancing and eating. There's decorations and drinks. It's like a sneak peak at hobbit holidays. While many of the celebration examples that she uses are kind of universal for our modern day celebrations, I feel like there's something distinctly hobbit about them. That's what I wanted to capture with the music. I wrote several melodies over the years. Sadly, I didn't have a recording for any of them. So I started from scratch this year. This song was written with the vocal melody first and foremost. I feel like basic hobbit music is a hornpipe rhythm. It's fun and bouncy in 4/4 time. It's the type that you can easily sing without an instrument and still get people up dancing. So that's how I wrote the melody. I sang it. I added my autoharp. Then Nathan Deese brought the song to life with a mandolin and whistles. 7:49 - “Yuletide” by Marc Gunn from Single and Christmas Drive Playlist 10:18 - FEEDBACK: How do you celebrate Christmas and Yuletide? 10:34 - SUPPORT WHAT YOU LOVE The musicians on this podcast are happy to share their music freely with you.

So I decided that this is the final episode of 2021. I will be back in 2022. However, I'm gonna do things a bit differently. I don't yet have a start date for the new year. But as I strategically plan. I *think* it won't begin until February. But I hope to start recording episodes in January. And just build a catalog of episodes that I can release. Just like I plan to do with Coffee with The Celtfather. If you're a member of the Gunn Runners Club, I'll break down my plans a little bit more on Patreon. 12:16 - STORY OF WHAT IS CELTIC CHRISTMAS MUSIC? In 2014, I recorded a podcast called Celtic Christmas Greetings. It was a short podcast series designed to promote my then brand new album of Christmas music with the same name. Listening back to the series, I realized it is very much like this show. So I thought I'd replay that podcast here for those who might've missed it. The first episode tells the story of how and why I fused Celtic music and Christmas music to create a CD. 25:04 - “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by Kilted Kings from Flower of Scotland Pub Songs & Stories was produced by Marc Gunn. The show is edited by Mitchell Petersen with graphics by Miranda Nelson Designs. You can subscribe and listen wherever you find podcasts. You can also subscribe to my mailing list.

In Episode 204, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger stroll the haunted grounds of the Enfield, New Hampshire, Shaker Village. In July of 1863, Civil War veteran Thomas Weir returned to Enfield to try and retrieve his daughters who were indentured servants to the Shakers. For over a year, Weir tried to reason, beg, and even threaten the Shakers to get his daughters back. When they refused, Weir pulled out a pistol and murdered Caleb Dyer, and set a tragic haunting in motion that can still be felt today.

I stayed overnight at haunted Maple Hill Manor. I also had dinner at haunted Shaker Village, and the haunted Boone Tavern. I didn't see any ghosts, but I ate and slept well. I'll tell you all about that, plus my visit to the International Paranormal Museum and more in this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jessie-bartholomew/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jessie-bartholomew/support

This week on StoryWeb: Joseph Brackett, Jr.’s song “Simple Gifts.” This week as we turn our thoughts to Thanksgiving, I am reminded of the beautiful Shaker song “Simple Gifts.” I have long loved the spare melody and the powerful lyrics. Many think of “Simple Gifts” as an anonymous Shaker hymn – which is only partly correct. It is a Shaker song, but it was written as a dance song (note the repetition of the word “turn,” which would have been a way to call a figure in a dance). And the man who wrote both the melody and the words was Joseph Brackett, Jr., a Shaker elder, head of the society in Maine. Brackett lived at Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village. You can visit the community’s website to learn more about its long history and its continuance to this day, including its recent hosting of the Maine Festival of American Music. Until 1944, “Simple Gifts” was known mostly inside Shaker communities. But in 1944, American composer Aaron Copland used Brackett’s melody in his composition Appalachian Spring, which served as the score to a ballet choreographed by Martha Graham. As you get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, reflect on the words to this quintessential American song: ’Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free ’Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be, And when we find ourselves in the place just right, ’Twill be in the valley of love and delight.   When true simplicity is gained, To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed, To turn, turn will be our delight, Till by turning, turning we come ’round right.   Want to add a recording of “Simple Gifts” to your collection? You might purchase Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin conducting. Or you might want to get a copy of “Simple Gifts” performed by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center at Shaker Village or Joel Cohen’s historic collection, Simple Gifts: Shaker Chants and Spirituals. And finally, Classic Yo-Yo includes Yo-Yo Ma’s recording of “Simple Gifts” with Alison Krauss.   For another approach to Thanksgiving stories, listen to last year’s StoryWeb podcast episode on StoryCorps. This year, StoryCorps is once again hosting the Great Thanksgiving Listen.
