When I got to the Bluehost homepage I wondered if I’d remember my password. It’s been awhile! A Global Pandemic and the current “Stay Home” initiative seems like a good time to restart this blog. I’m constantly scrolling through social media (both because it’s my job and because I’m hoping to interact with friends I…
I’ve neglected this blog. I would feel guilty about that, but I don’t. The reason for the lack of stories here is I now work a full-time job telling stories. Before my Ireland/Croatia adventures I worked part-time at MOR Media Inc. in Northeast Arkansas. I was (and still am) building a digital platform that I…
I always love it when a friend points someone my way because they make a good interview candidate. My long-time friend and In-between contributor, Madison, told me she’d met someone she knew had some great stories to tell. She then introduced us over email. I’m in awe that technology provides us with ways to meet…
Do you ever feel like you jump into something wholeheartedly, but once you’re in the thick of it all you can think is, “WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER?!” You started the race focused on and enthusiastic about your goal, but you become tired, weary. Where’s the finish line? I ran cross country and track and…
I didn’t even discuss my new labels for the types of blogs being posted; I just kinda started doing it. “In-between the mountains” is for posts that talk about a general place or town when it’s, well, in-between the mountains. City experiences and urban adventures are classified as “in-between the city the streets.” Backpacking, hiking,…
We absolutely love this mountain town. We ended our trip last fall by staying a couple days here, but we wanted to return and spend more time exploring the area. Salida has so much character and so much beauty that we could spend weeks hanging out there. Actually, we wouldn’t mind living there and have…
What. A. Month. I need a second to catch my breath before we get underway with the second half of June! Just to recap, a few months ago we quit our day jobs to build our dream jobs. We picked up our lives and moved back to Arkansas. We left a safe, comfortable career in…
The whole point of this blog is to reveal that we all sometimes feel a little lost or confused about what comes next in life. This feeling is normal and it can bombard you at any point in time. It strikes everyone at different points in time and is very likely a feeling that will…
I love to read. When I was growing up, I read mostly fiction. These days I read a lot more non-fiction; not because I don’t still love fiction, but because I’ve realized there’s something about a good real-life success story. This list of books is curated especially around the same theme as this blog: “What…
It’s been about a month since we left our job, drove away from Tulsa, and began working for ourselves. Technically it’s not really self-employment since Jackson is working with his dad and I work, but don’t get paid — yet! We made a really bold decision to leave our jobs for a variety of reasons,…
