Day 3383 – Sneak Peek At Our Weekend!

Posted on October 15, 2018 by 365 days of marriage

We just got back from a weekend away in Canada and what an amazing time it was! The drive was utterly breathtaking since most of it was through peaking leaves. I’ll blog more in-depth later, but for now, here’s us at Parliament in Canada! It was one of the places I really wanted to see while we were there and I’m so glad we were able to fit it in.

Day 3367 – Read My Books! – Read A New Book Month Day 29 (And Four Years As Sober Jennilyn!)

Posted on September 29, 2018 by 365 days of marriage

I would be remiss if I didn’t suggest my own books this month. As an aside, today is my FOUR-year soberversary! If God hadn’t changed my life four years ago, I don’t know if I would be able to say I published two books.

Being sober has changed so much of my life and I’m so thankful that reading more and writing more is included in that list. I have found my voice through this blog and my books. YOU my readers, have in many ways changed my life. Your interest in my alcoholism has encouraged me to pursue writing a book about my experiences. Your blog views have meant the world to me.

My first book, Trusting God With 2 Cents: 22 Days To Becoming A Successful Christian Business Owner, was quite a journey. I learned so much about myself, writing, and what God has to say about work while writing. It started in one place (very much about ME and MY experiences) and ended in a completely different (very much what GOD says about work, and very little about me).

I always said that I would consider that book a success if just one person was impacted. If you check out the link above, you’ll see a wonderful review. That book is a success to me.

Earlier that year, 2016, we took our fourth cross-country road trip. That trip changed me in so many ways. The biggest was my love of road trips was rekindled and my desire to share the joy of more travel was set ablaze.

The worst thing I hear is “I’ve always wanted to do that, but….” I want to grab folks and say, that’s just not true! I started my journey in sharing my knowledge about road trip travel in my second book, Planning an Epic Road Trip on any Budget. I also started my road trip community on Facebook.

I definitely see that book as a success as well because of the folks who have made changes in their travel lives because of it. I’ve loved growing with my community and sharing the joys of planning for and taking trips. If you want some help planning a road trip, come join us!

Even if you haven’t (and aren’t planning on) buying/reading one of my books, you showing up here on my blog means so much to me. I’ve blogged before about wanting to stop some days, but it is you, my dear readers, who help me to carry on. You are a part of my growth as an author and a blogger. Thank you.

Day 3361 – Why Should You Read? – Read A New Book Month Day 23

Posted on September 23, 2018 by 365 days of marriage

I’ve really enjoyed sharing some of my all-time favorite and life-changing books the past few weeks with y’all, but I wanted to do something a little different today, talk about WHY you should read. I have to say, I’ve missed chatting about what’s going on in our life but it has been fun to have a stricter structure to my posts. I hope you’ve found a new book to read so far, if you have, let me know in the comments below!

Here’s how reading has changed my life:

– It caused me to change careers.
– It gave me an epicly strong marriage.
– It opens my eyes to worlds I never knew existed.
– It reminded me that I’m not alone in my struggles.
– It has challenged my thoughts on things and encouraged me to look at other sides.
– It has brought me new friends and closer to those I already had.
– It has given me an excuse to take a cool trip.

Why do you read?

Day 3340 – A Book That Changed My Mindset On Business (And Travel) Completely – The 4-Hour Workweek – Read A New Book Month Day 2

Posted on September 2, 2018 by 365 days of marriage

I first read The 4-Hour Workweek* back in the summer of 2014. I wrote a post about how it was the catalyst to me eventually closing my photography business, funny enough, three years ago today.

As I was reading through The Third Door, The 4-Hour Workweek came up a few times. I have heard from countless other folks, whether through an in-person conversation, a social media post, an article, or a book, that this book has had a profound effect on them. If so many people are saying this, honestly, why haven’t you read this yet?

It completely changed how I viewed work, income, and truly, what it costs for my dream life to be a reality. I recommend this book* to anyone who is looking to change in their business or life. I talk about how it changed my view on travel in another post on my travel blog, so you can view my thoughts there.

The links to the book on Amazon are affiliate links. As a reminder, an affiliate link is one that if you click and purchase the book (or something else) I’ll receive a small percentage at no additional cost to you. I ruthlessly only share products, services, books, etc, that I have personally used and only recommend what I think is useful and valuable. I’ve marked all affiliate links in this post with this little guy –> *

Have you read this? What was your experience?

Day 3332 – A Very Happy Birthday To NPS! – With A Few Pics Of My Favorite Parks

Posted on August 25, 2018 by 365 days of marriage

I absolutely love our national parks. We’ve visited so many and I’m so thankful for the work that goes into maintaining them and providing so much value to travelers from around the globe. I can’t wait until I can say “I have visited them all!”

Here’s a few from our absolute favorites around the country.
