Hi friends, I'm Emily Lay and you're listening to the Simplified Podcast.

If you're looking for a quiet place where you can filter out the noise and the hustle,

this is it.

Every week, I invite you to slow down and join me to explore practical ways to organize

and automate the complicated parts of life so you can focus on what truly matters most.

Well guys, our Simplified Shipping Deadline for the Holidays is coming up on December 7th.

That is just a couple of days away if you are listening this episode right when it comes out.

So make sure that you get your orders in and if you are looking to get your new 2023 Simplified

Planter, make sure you get that order in really soon too so you can start it just as soon

as the new year rolls around.

So let me tell you a story that was one thirty in the morning last November and there was

I was lying awake thinking about a pastor I had met that week.

She was doing the most beautiful work in Pensacola.

She fed hundreds of people each week out of a tiny building and if someone ate at her

table and didn't have an ID, she would help them get one.

Side note, I have always taken having an ID for granted.

It's such a small thing to me because it was easy for me to get.

When I turned sixteen, I could get a driver's license that was no problem because my parents

kept my birth certificate on file for things like that.

They trained me on how to drive so because of their preparation on my behalf, I could get

a driver's license without a single issue.
