Surrounded By Love

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2026/03/24

Send us Fan Mail My good friend and favorite redhead, Shannon Walker, gave me a gift this past weekend I didn't know I needed. She gave me the opportunity to share a few stories in the wake of the tragic loss of her daughter, Megan Walker Briscoe, who was essentially Aurora's daughter. She gave me the gift of editing someone I used to write and work with a couple of decades ago. And the magic of those moments were powerful and personal. My niece, Michele McCully, and I were able to tag-team a...

Send a text I tried to record this seven times. I had a hard time getting through it. I hope you listen to the message and not my mistakes. This, for now, is the best I can do. Saying goodbye to the daughter of some good friends is not what I wanted to write about this week for the podcast. But it's necessary. And, it's not really goodbye. It's---I'll see you later. Yet--there is so much more that I'd like to say. Be the things you loved most about those who are gone. Try kindness. Laugh at s...

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2026/03/02

Send a text Jack Muench was named our Community Service Award recipient for Aurora this past Saturday night by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. I bit back a few tears while Shannon Walker read the script. Jack is a hometown guy with a heart of gold. I have been looking up to him for decades. They just don't make 'em any better. As president of First Independent Bank in Aurora, he wears numerous hats to help support his church, his community and his people. Join us in celebrating Jack tod...

Darlin' I'm Not Merle, I'm Just Haggard

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2026/02/21

Send a text Five years ago I participated in The Great Escape. I was escaping from my home away from home at Cox South in Springfield--where I had been given a second chance at life, love, happiness and success. I don't want to keep whining about Covid and my Long Covid journey. I'm not a whiner. I'm not a quitter. And, I usually try hard to find a loaves and fishes way to get whatever it is that needs doing. There are tons of people dealing with tons of bigger things. I have had great suppor...

Marking A Milestone This Week

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2026/02/09

Send a text This week marks a milestone. It's been five years since I came off a ventilator. I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. A wild range of emotions from panic to joy to sadness to peace. I was having a hard time sleeping later that day and a nurse had whispered in my ear: "I see you playing possum. You're not very good at it. You need to rest." "I'm afraid," I replied, opening one eye. "Of what?" he asked, leaning down. "Not waking up," I whimpered with my scratchy voice. "Oh,...

Send us a text My nieces and nephews have always been part mine. So this week's podcast is about one of them. They probably don't always like it, but I love them soooooo much, I just can't help myself as I cross the line of ownership time and time again. I always figured an extra mother can't hurt, right? Chad Estes is a local character all his own. He is, indeed, a chip off the old block. He celebrated another birthday this week. I remember the day he was born just like it was yesterday. Thr...

Discernment Is My Word For 2026

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2026/01/05

Send us a text I like the idea of making New Year's resolutions. Over 30 percent of America's population of 340 plus million people make them. It takes. Over 60 percent of those folks will not be following through on their commitments in six months. My resolutions are focusing on healthier habits, more self-care, additional time planned for adventures with family and friends and cultivating a closer relationship to God. I want to carve out more time for laughter, mud puddles, backroads and si...

Merry Christmas & Keep Those Fingers Crossed!

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2025/12/24

Send us a text I love Christmas. I enjoy traditions. I like making new friends and celebrating old ones. Our family has encountered great grief at Christmas a couple of times. But yet, grief is the evidence of great love. So, we will continue to celebrate lives lost and those no longer at the table. One Christmas in the 1980s, I lost my job on Christmas Eve Eve...and then my car burned up on the highway on the way home. I still remember running towards my car with a crowbar--so that I could a...

Let's Start A Kindness Revival

Send us a text The three keys to success according to Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood fame? Be Kind. Be Kind. Be Kind. Some days this old world seems a little harsh and crazy. To battle that trend, let's start a kindness revival. Pause. Take a breath. Move forward with grace, kindness and love. You won't regret it. I promise.

Send us a text Community. Christmas. Celebrations. Camaraderie. All of those things combined for me to make a big promise to a colleague last week. He seems to think I am up for new experiences and big adventures. So, after some consideration, I have decided to celebrate a milestone birthday with him by skydiving. Here's hoping he knows CPR and plans to bring me a change of clothes on the outing. I am looking forward to 2051.

What Happens In Vegas....

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2025/11/26

Send us a text I love the Ozarks and my own backyard; but I also love traveling in the company of those I love. I was able to do just that earlier this month on a three-day jaunt to Vegas. A little out of my element, I managed to have a blast. What follows is my reflection on the journey, the fun, the laughter and the concept of home and Toby Keith's song "I'm Not As Good As I Once Was." In the end, it's true---There's no place like home and I am as good once as I ever was--believe it or not....

Send us a text Veterans Day falls during the month of November as we are gearing up for Thanksgiving and other holiday celebrations. We hosted a Veterans Assembly earlier this month at Aurora High School. It was an honor to help the other organizations pay tribute to our local veterans in style. Michele Mowris was our keynote speaker. She talked about the loss of her husband, Sgt. Doug Mowris, in Afghanistan some 22 years ago. Also speaking that day was Lt. Col. Jason Ernest, yet another Auro...

Hometown Partners Giving Circle Launches Its 3rd Run

All Roads Lead Home by Kim McCully-Mobley ·

2025/11/17

Send us a text It is always better to give than to receive. A favorite belief of mine that comes from Sunday School teachings is that whatever you give away will come back to you tenfold. That said, please feel free to jump on the bandwagon for the third round of Hometown Partners Giving Circle efforts this year. The money is earmarked for good things in Aurora, Marionville and Verona. Plus, what makes this even better is that you get to vote on the recipients! Feel free to contact me for mor...

Kids These Days....

2025/11/04

Send us a text I get asked all the time about the state of today's teenagers? Are they different? Do they have good manners? Is there some kind of a disconnect? Well, let me just tell you about a couple of them from Aurora High School. Jaysa Ernest and Addi Hall represented Aurora at the Annual RYLA Camp a couple of weeks ago. After hearing them speak last week at a Rotary Club meeting, I can tell you with certainty that they are going to make their marks on the world. They will be able to ma...

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Evan Boettler

2025/10/21

Send us a text Friday, October 17th, would have been Evan Boettler's 18th birthday. This year should have been his senior year. We should be talking about a senior trip, graduation plans and college. I should be teasing him about calling my friend "Chainsaw Patty" or making him listen to one of my ghost stories as we get closer to Halloween. His life was tragically stolen from us on January 3, 2024--when a certain kind of evil orchestrated an extortion attempt on a boy who had only had access...

To add to his honors, Shannon Walker of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce and I made a trek to his home to give him a cap and ask him a special question. He said yes to being one of our Grand Marshals for the upcoming Christmas Parade on December 13th.

Send us a text I attended a leadership retreat a few weeks ago with some new colleagues. I have been on fire about it ever since. I have used it for writing prompts, columns and lesson plans. I have used it to revamp and recharge my to do list and the circle of folks I want to work with most in these so-called Golden Years. Take a listen. See what you think. What do others need to know about you?

1965 Football Team Is Now In The Houn' Dawg Hall of Fame

Send us a text Scott Pettit read the script Friday night as the undefeated Aurora 1965 Football Team made a special appearance at Kelley Field. If you were there, watching online or even listening--you were part of history. This is the stuff dreams are made of and these dreams have lasted more than six decades as this scrappy team made headlines for their skills, speed, prowess and tenacity. These gentlemen represent the Houn' Dawg Spirit at its best. The team gathered at Blackbird in the aft...
