Acres of Life: Lessons Learned on a Family Dairy Farm

Have you ever taken the opportunity to deeply reflect on your life experiences? Your experiences shape who you are, why you behave the way you do, and your values. Yet often, we don't take the time to "hear" the lessons that are unconsciously guiding our future steps. Reflection can help you to deepen your understanding of yourself, accept what you know to be true, and acknowledge what is standing in the way between where you've been and where you want to go. In Acres of Life, Nancy Kalsow shares heartfelt stories from her life growing up on a Wisconsin family dairy farm. She recounts the daily onslaught of farm chores, the hard work necessary to build a sustainable business and the fun and freedom that come from fresh air and unconditional love. She highlights the values and work ethic that guided her through 30+ years in corporate operations and organizational development roles. Her insights focus on values such as honesty, perseverance, respect and love, along with her personal favorite messages including "Carefree is the best kind of free", "Create your own 'outta sight' space" and "There you are!" Ironically, it wasn't until Nancy sat with her thoughts about her childhood while writing this book, that she uncovered her own personal motivation behind her coaching practice. Writing this book prompted her to create her signature coaching program, Get R.E.A.L. with Nancy. Acres of Life shares Kalsow's personal stories and the self-reflection that empowered her to lead a more joyful and fulfilling life. Her heart-warming and insightful book will inspire you to explore your own memories and discover how your experiences can make your life even more meaningful. Just as farming nurtures the soil, Acres of Life will nurture your soul!
