I want to travel and see parts of the country (dare I say, world?) as I continue to grow. I sometimes beat myself up for having not expanded my horizons when I was young and able to move more freely.
And while I realize reading about faraway places isn’t nearly as fulfilling as living and breathing them in, some of the blogs I follow have given me glimpses into parts of the world I have never visited. I love reading certain blogs not only for their narrative, but also for their ability to expose me to the unknown.
This made me wonder if anyone who happens to stumble upon (or, best case scenario, follow?) my blog enjoys it partially because my world is so different from theirs.
It’s Husker football game night and our fam is camped in front of the TV shouting at the screen with the false belief we can influence the game. As the University of Nebraska-Lincoln fight song boasts, “There is no place like Nebraska.” This makes me laugh as I imagine parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas aren’t that foreign from our state.
I didn’t have an ocean to walk alongside today. No (literal) mountains to climb. Not a single traffic jam to stew in.
Instead, I got to run and clear my mind. At the risk of furthering the stereotype that we have nothing but farmland here, I took some pictures of…you guessed it…
Fall horizon. I beg for the tolerable temps to remain as long as possible.
I live within a city that borders along countryside. My favorite part of the run is looking out to a lifestyle I’ve never lived.
Not sure why these images remind me of a song about Tennessee, but I’ll leave this for you to enjoy as well.
Don’t we all want to stop living with doubt?
Leave a comment about where you’re from. I’d love to learn more about your little part of the world.

The only thing I love more than writing is talking.
I’ve actively blogged for over three years. It’s a great way to speak in cyberspace and hope that someone, anyone, is listening and can relate to what you’re going through.
One of the most exciting connections I have made through blogging is with a couple of radio personalities who allow me and my friend, Melissa, to come on their show every Thursday morning to promote momaha.com.
The Pat & JT Show on KQKQ-FM (98.5 FM) is a morning radio program hosted by the legendary duo, Pat and Jill, aka JT. They pretty much rock the Omaha metro area.
So you can imagine my excitement when I was asked to do something that I only dreamed was possible…meet my best friend every week to promote our blogging and spill stories over the airwaves to entertain listeners.
If you’ve ever wanted to know the voice behind the posts you read on maternalmedia.com, take a listen. (Disclaimer: My laugh is super loud and annoying.)
