How did we adventure before Google Maps?!? 😂 Okay so that may have dated how old I am, but I have to say how very thankful I am for technology in the palm of my hand, and online resources for advanced trip planning. Did you know that if you are an avid user of Google maps for your travels, you can become a Google Guide? Check out the deets on how you can take advantage of some cool features, a new global community, and beyond! https://echoalexzander.com/blog/27969/adventures-of-a-google-guide---part-1-getting-started #GoogleGuide #GoogleMaps #Adventurer #Adventures4RealLife #Travel #Blog #Blogger #Google #Technology #TripPlanning

VULNERABLE POST ALERT This blog was a blend of enjoyment to write and celebrate, as well as to revisit the pain and shed tears from those memories. Conclusion? God is good. All of the time. #OolaFaith Join me as I share the next page in God's love letter to my family. https://echoalexzander.com/blog/25684/god-s-love-letter #GodIsGood #AllTheTime #PoetOfMoments #GodsLoveLetter #DivineTiming #MovingAdventures #Adventures4RealLife #Blog

We had a fun opportunity through my work to submit a tour of our remote workspace, home office to share with our 13k other North American colleagues. So I got to tell a little of our homestead, my workspace (you'll laugh), my officemates, and even have a fun little video. https://echoalexzander.com/blog/27460/my-modern-world-home-office-meets-rural-american-homesteading P.S. My employer is the IT provider for the Olympics, so of course, I had to throw in the #TeamUSA shout out in there too 🇺🇸 #HomeOffice #WorkFromHome #RemoteWorker #ITAnalyst #EpicLife #AtosNA #Olympics #Olympics2020 #Olympics2020Tokyo #Blog #Adventures4RealLife #HomesteadLife #Homesteading #Missouri #RuralAmerica

I am so excited to share the complete interview I did with my friend Kaycia Ellingsen, founder of the Homesick to Happy Women. community on Facebook. Listen in with us as we discuss all things adventure together in the interview I had with Kaycia for her community. As my friends may already know, adventure is my life word and I was ready to dish on all the areas of my life where it abounds! https://echoalexzander.com/blog/27480/the-adventure-interview #Adventures4RealLife #Adventurer #AdventureLife #HomesickToHappyWomen #Interview #Blog

Friend, when I speak about adventures for #RealLife, I mean in all areas of life, including and especially in health. Staying healthy should be fun, should present exciting challenges like finding things you love to do for fitness, and products that you absolutely love and that are good for you 😍 So when I speak about adventure, know that there are also dangers lurking, MANY right in front of you if you are unaware of what to look for. This week, these three headlines passed me by. In one week, tell me if this is a group that you want to be on a health and wellness adventure with? Let's stay hungry for education and information. We can totally win on this adventure but not with partners who put profits above all else and aren't focused as their number one priority on your well-being. Only you can do that. You are the steward of your health, the gatekeeper of your home. Join me on an adventure to learn more, to do better, and to know how to make wise choices for yourself and your family. Together that is an adventure we will all enjoy! #KnowBetter #ChooseBetter #DitchAndSwitch #WellnessEducation #Health #Bioaccumulation #Toxicity #Greenwashing #Adventures4RealLife

Now that spring has sprung here in Missouri and the wildflowers are out, I thought I would share my recipe for Purple Dead Nettle tea ☕ Were just closing on our first homestead so prior I've focused on wildcrafting and foraging locally.

I am so honored to be able to work with an organization such as the Young Living Foundation. They are leading the way in changing lives around the world, and thanks to Young Living Essential Oils, 100% of my donations go directly to these causes, not to overhead or other expenses. If you are eager to make a bigger impact around the world I highly recommend them! I also love how easy it is to be involved, I can round up my monthly orders, use AmazonSmile, etc. What are other amazing charities that people should know about? #YLFoundation #WoldChanger #MakingAnImpact #YLEO #EO4RealLife #Adventures4RealLife #Charity
