For example, you should avoid using your birthday, or generic passwords such as “Password123.” When curating a password, try to use a mixture of upper and lowercase letters, alongside special characters and numbers. This will make it more difficult for a hacker to guess your password, as it is entirely unique and complex. </span></p><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Change your passwords regularly</span></h3><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">According to a recent report </span><a href="https://www.proactive-info.com/blog/change-your-password#:~:text=Passwords%20should%20also%20be%20unique,number%20of%20IT%20Security%20dangers" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, 80% of all cyber security attacks involve a weak or stolen password</span></a><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">. For this reason, it's crucial that you take password management seriously. While setting strong passwords is a great place to start, they should not be set in stone. In fact, experts advise that you change your password every three months. If this is something that you’d otherwise forget to do, set a reminder on your phone.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: large; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Change your IP Address</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Learning how to </span><a href="https://clearvpn.com/blog/how-to-change-ip-address-on-iphone/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">change iphone ip address</span></a><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> can also help you to stay safe online.

This means that in addition to inputting your password, you’ll also have to provide the system with a secondary source of information. For example, you may receive a text to your phone that contains an additional code. While this means it can sometimes take a little longer to login, it greatly strengthens your cybersecurity practices and keeps your data safe. As such, you should always ensure that you enable this feature. </span></p><br /><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Install cybersecurity software</span></h3><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Installing cybersecurity software onto your laptop, PC and similar devices can also boost your online security. After all, they act as an extra defence against harmful websites and online activity, allowing you to browse with confidence. Furthermore, while there are many versions of cybersecurity that you have to pay for, there are many free ones too. Alternatively, you can try out a product for three for a few weeks before committing to a purchase! </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Know the dangers you are facing</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">One of the easiest ways to improve your online security in 2024 (and beyond), is to know what dangers you are facing on a daily basis.

However, if we dig deeper into the intricacies of human connection and personal growth, it becomes evident that vulnerability is not just valuable but also noble. It is the gateway to authenticity, empathy, and genuine relationships. I've come to realize that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but rather a <a href="https://www.jeepmomma.com/2018/11/be-yourself.html" target="_blank">sign of courage</a> and authenticity.</p><p>I have become hardened, closed off and cold from betrayal in some of my friendships, romantic relationships and work. After two years of<a href="https://amzn.to/3SnbKNh" target="_blank"> healing from this deep emotional pain</a>, I've realized I can no longer keep myself closed off. I have been afraid to open myself up to people because of fear of betrayal. Being vulnerable can be one of the most courageous and meaningful acts we undertake in our lives. Learning the right contexts to being vulnerable is what I am learning now. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHxI_Tz8fFc-3wucXbP0ulY_m-GW6zMhh3OsHz0BxOh6u1epNrl1dMWP8awiPqzsDO6zt2-pBlZPMIUT3IypUfxFZmBGcOIgpixiicysaAB-dUxTFMKQVc-sFh8s63bDyki8a_pB1hZn9WuGIR9KD7rlQ5dxjIFINjb4ONQFhto6mpxuIGsNPRn-cci7Aj/s1560/272305934_3202075090026104_6301907214118117558_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1170" data-original-width="1560" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHxI_Tz8fFc-3wucXbP0ulY_m-GW6zMhh3OsHz0BxOh6u1epNrl1dMWP8awiPqzsDO6zt2-pBlZPMIUT3IypUfxFZmBGcOIgpixiicysaAB-dUxTFMKQVc-sFh8s63bDyki8a_pB1hZn9WuGIR9KD7rlQ5dxjIFINjb4ONQFhto6mpxuIGsNPRn-cci7Aj/s320/272305934_3202075090026104_6301907214118117558_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Vulnerability is the willingness to show up and be seen, even when there is no guarantee of the outcome. It's about being honest with ourselves and others, and allowing ourselves to be fully seen, imperfections and all. When we embrace vulnerability, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We allow ourselves to be truly connected with others, to experience love, joy, and belonging in a way that is impossible when we keep ourselves guarded and closed off.</p><p>Brené Brown, a renowned researcher and author on the subject of vulnerability, says it best: <i><b>"Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity." </b></i></p><p>Well, being valuable is actually valuable and noble in the right contexts. Let’s consider what this may mean, and how to avoid being ashamed of such vulnerability</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Real Connections & Genuine Relationship</span></h3><p>At its core, vulnerability is about being authentic. It's about showing up as our true selves, imperfections and all, without fear of judgment or rejection. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open the door to<a href="https://www.betterup.com/blog/how-to-connect-with-people" target="_blank"> genuine connections with others</a>. We give them permission to see us as we truly are, fostering trust and intimacy in our relationships.</p><p>Even those we admire have vulnerabilities. It is comforting to know that other people are human just like us. Your first impression of their perfect life isn't always true. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Vulnerability Breeds Empathy</span></h3><p>One of the most powerful outcomes of vulnerability is the cultivation of empathy. When we share our struggles, fears, and insecurities with others, we create space for empathy to flourish. By opening up about our own experiences, we invite others to do the same, fostering a culture of understanding and compassion. By Letting others around you know you are not perfect and that's okay breeds a sense of <a href="https://www.helpguide.org/articles/relationships-communication/empathy.htm#:~:text=Developing%20your%20listening%20skills%2C%20paying,new%20perspectives%20can%20also%20help." target="_blank">empathy with other people</a>. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Strengthening Relationships</span></h3><p>Vulnerability is the cornerstone of meaningful relationships. It requires us to let down our walls, to be honest and open with those we care about. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with others, we create space for deeper connections to form. We let people in, allowing them to see the depths of our hearts and minds. In doing so, we strengthen the bonds that hold us together, creating relationships built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Fostering Personal Growth</span></h3><p>Embracing vulnerability is not always easy. It requires courage and a willingness to step outside of our comfort zones. However, it is through moments of vulnerability that we experience some of the most profound moments of personal growth. It is in our moments of weakness that we discover our greatest strengths, and it is through our struggles that we learn the true depths of our resilience.</p><p>Being vulnerable can also be a powerful tool for personal growth. When we embrace vulnerability, we open ourselves up to the possibility of failure, rejection, and disappointment. But we also open ourselves up to the possibility of success, acceptance, and happiness. It takes courage to be vulnerable, but the rewards are well worth the risk.</p><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: medium; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">You’ll Be Able To Ask For Help</span></h3><p>It can feel embarrassing to admit that we’re struggling in life. But the truth is, everyone struggles at one point or another. There’s no shame in it, provided you don’t hide it all. The next time you're facing a challenge, remember that having the wisdom of asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness. </p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This not only helps you connect to those around you, but it allows you to get the help you may need. For example, starting an </span><a href="https://peaksrecovery.com/addiction-services-overview/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #1155cc; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">addiction program</span></a><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> or getting help with being a parent through the relevant services. This can feel like a weight from your shoulders, and you’ll also wonder why it took you so long to let yourself feel that vulnerable. Better late than never, though.</span></p><h3 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><br /></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Akwo3GzDG0Ae1QxHbYHpkOlvLGBRhJB7sUj33HJ_5YHc80kjFmhApkYq7qHZuk86quZsO5Qz3Mtpk6jCxE9LjIyfbSyoDwkTI-XVbLHIYgTg9SllirOll9ZYhFCZ07yTleEDsTpldC1Q1fBqIBTuuEtZ0dOnXpv4POhNv3nX5Tx34hMRv-4aDgeZujL4/s1280/178090873_3008013659432249_2490337382223137597_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="1280" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Akwo3GzDG0Ae1QxHbYHpkOlvLGBRhJB7sUj33HJ_5YHc80kjFmhApkYq7qHZuk86quZsO5Qz3Mtpk6jCxE9LjIyfbSyoDwkTI-XVbLHIYgTg9SllirOll9ZYhFCZ07yTleEDsTpldC1Q1fBqIBTuuEtZ0dOnXpv4POhNv3nX5Tx34hMRv-4aDgeZujL4/s320/178090873_3008013659432249_2490337382223137597_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>In a world that often encourages us to hide our vulnerabilities and project an image of strength and perfection, it's important to remember that there is great power in being vulnerable.

Start by brainstorming ideas with your family members. Consider activities that everyone enjoys and that can be done regularly. </div><p>Traditions can be as simple as a weekly family game night or as elaborate as an annual camping trip. The key is to find activities that bring your family together and create a sense of joy and unity. For example, you might decide to start a monthly family hike or a weekly family bike ride. These outdoor activities not only create lasting memories but also promote physical health and well-being.</p><p>One such tradition for me is having Sister's Weekends, just a weekend with me and my sisters. It is so important to me to have this family time because now that I am older I realize how quickly time goes by.

Outdoor activities promote physical health, mental well-being, and a sense of adventure. They also provide an opportunity for families to disconnect from technology and connect with nature.

Nate and I discussed these systems on <b>Episode 10 of The OffRoad Insiders Podcast 👉 </b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/KO0HBW97LlI?si=i4J0SJodYZKotNU3" target="_blank">Watch Here</a></p><p><b>Beginner's Guide to 4x4 Off-road Trail Rating System </b>👉 <a href="https://youtu.be/S03n2vEYKHg?feature=shared" target="_blank">Watch Here</a></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 10-Point Rating System</span></h3><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbR8t8t4LxyO8IsFHVB5pIh0_qKwfE5hrf6tVhfL4oErY9mpO1kScjWtGs39eROzmM2uSSMHsy0fK9bP0ALhpW-tvtccvY6rWT7kzWX1-rOI9PZQ1kFuQ7pH1qQf7jOjEuE6CfFUb9pGfzX9LewhK55nJgaSijuA1jGkT7ftqvZgiAoZUlT0QE3RH6xit8/s2148/20200625_095901_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1636" data-original-width="2148" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbR8t8t4LxyO8IsFHVB5pIh0_qKwfE5hrf6tVhfL4oErY9mpO1kScjWtGs39eROzmM2uSSMHsy0fK9bP0ALhpW-tvtccvY6rWT7kzWX1-rOI9PZQ1kFuQ7pH1qQf7jOjEuE6CfFUb9pGfzX9LewhK55nJgaSijuA1jGkT7ftqvZgiAoZUlT0QE3RH6xit8/s320/20200625_095901_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><p>Developed by the United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA), this system assigns trails a numerical rating from 1 to 10 based on difficulty. A rating of 1-2 indicates an easy, well-maintained trail suitable for beginners, while a rating of 9-10 signifies a highly challenging trail that should only be attempted by experienced off-roaders with heavily modified vehicles. This system is widely used and easy to understand, making it a great starting point for new off-roaders.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Green-Blue-Black System</span></h3><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOsD1GazX9rBRKY55OpXMqZLefEBrUpvUAurz1P98zg4WkyIQe1fVISr3bUNArQYJ_3zfSkHVXrRp4dZl8ogX0gy8rJ7uRNgjEpa-1xBi-YD1wZiQc5y35bk02W4XJ7T628dn_SIPquytJUOCTv_DjYNUumppWR1EOn0G1SCSLGm-QA-GOLjgek1qlO8gL/s1550/vs8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1062" data-original-width="1550" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOsD1GazX9rBRKY55OpXMqZLefEBrUpvUAurz1P98zg4WkyIQe1fVISr3bUNArQYJ_3zfSkHVXrRp4dZl8ogX0gy8rJ7uRNgjEpa-1xBi-YD1wZiQc5y35bk02W4XJ7T628dn_SIPquytJUOCTv_DjYNUumppWR1EOn0G1SCSLGm-QA-GOLjgek1qlO8gL/s320/vs8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><p>Similar to ski slope ratings, this system uses colors to indicate trail difficulty. Green trails are the easiest and most suitable for beginners, while blue trails offer a moderate challenge. Black trails are the most difficult and should only be attempted by experienced off-roaders with well-equipped vehicles. This system is simple and intuitive, making it a popular choice among off-roading enthusiasts.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Red-Yellow-Green System</span></h3><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROtIJ77kkDIdhkygUgsSVQzu_CQ3fQK0UzCz8t0ao2TO68aAtDIk2LHKYyPMKx_w8Evv6I9GBJSsnNRcRKRsicgla3kvtaddIKdrrsxox0vAlVftVqbsnLp9KURyuVuVmR4q8OXr32HkrW_hacyq3T5h7GyuJ1CBkgR943wlxJ7iEs8_9az-Ehw-fxxjZ/s1000/IMG_5374.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="1000" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROtIJ77kkDIdhkygUgsSVQzu_CQ3fQK0UzCz8t0ao2TO68aAtDIk2LHKYyPMKx_w8Evv6I9GBJSsnNRcRKRsicgla3kvtaddIKdrrsxox0vAlVftVqbsnLp9KURyuVuVmR4q8OXr32HkrW_hacyq3T5h7GyuJ1CBkgR943wlxJ7iEs8_9az-Ehw-fxxjZ/s320/IMG_5374.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><p>In this system, red trails are the most difficult, requiring highly modified vehicles and experienced drivers. Yellow trails offer a moderate challenge, while green trails are the easiest and most suitable for beginners. This system is less common than the 10-point and green-blue-black systems but is still used in some off-roading communities.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Know Your Skill Level</span></h3><p>When choosing a trail, new off-roaders should always consider their skill level, vehicle capabilities, and the trail rating system used in their area. It's also important to research the specific trail conditions, as weather and other factors can significantly impact the difficulty of a trail.</p><p>Understanding off-road trail ratings is crucial for new off-roaders to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. By familiarizing yourself with the various rating systems and choosing trails that match your skill level and vehicle capabilities, you'll be well on your way to exploring the great outdoors in style.</p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166791547714861438.post-1926612587641931232024-01-24T09:00:00.007-07:002024-01-24T09:00:00.132-07:00How To Adjust Your Jeep Seat<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Easy Step By Step Guide</span></h2><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: left;">There are 3 ways to adjust the front seats in your Jeep Wrangler, JKU. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhttuy6q2A9OXk7XjVcQPG3nvBKDMQv9PcLUGGDW-r-aIenQ6vrZF216M0x3A7fWcJOL720UfuYbliHVgZT8-sGS_kIKiRAgR0-T7YM5JO8Bt2OCaDTmypC9Gm6S9qzJBA9UwFZBs5ltwNiZ3PIeLb7M_FseKBZxZtSFb8POvlw8iMdblM04sEWWxe8rPXB/s4134/image_123650291%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1994" data-original-width="4134" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhttuy6q2A9OXk7XjVcQPG3nvBKDMQv9PcLUGGDW-r-aIenQ6vrZF216M0x3A7fWcJOL720UfuYbliHVgZT8-sGS_kIKiRAgR0-T7YM5JO8Bt2OCaDTmypC9Gm6S9qzJBA9UwFZBs5ltwNiZ3PIeLb7M_FseKBZxZtSFb8POvlw8iMdblM04sEWWxe8rPXB/s320/image_123650291%20(2).png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><b>How to Adjust Your Seat</b> 👉 <a href="https://youtu.be/5WVg0JUvS_8?feature=shared" target="_blank">Watch Here</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Jeep Seat Covers </b>👉 <a href="https://amzn.to/3vExLQ8" target="_blank">Buy Here</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Forward / Rearward</span></h3>The front seat can be adjusted forward or rearward by using the bar located in the front of the seat cushion.

your trip. As you might have heard, our parks are experiencing an unprecedented
level of attendance. To avoid the crowds, plan your visit during the off-peak
times. This means choosing the off-seasons or weekdays when fewer people are
around.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Plan in Advance</span></h3><p style="text-align: left;">National Parks can be vast and overwhelming, so it's crucial
to plan your itinerary in advance. Research the park you're visiting, explore
the trails you want to hike, and make reservations for popular activities if
required. Having a plan ensures you make the most of your time and don't miss
out on the park's hidden gems.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lesser Known Trails</span></h3><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vw2Xv6FSnur0Qtusmme_VrNS3MmIYawLLfejS120gdQNPb0BFIZYfnqx6Fxg0u2m6vObDks2Aah8s6ZdP9CjygpcpOx-Z5iWyoRHD_YZDNf1mnks1PIyy0U8zJI6N9sOeyqhHdfuL035uCbJvevyUn3pMgN1JcLZo5FuVtoE6HU3qc8KLAszIZauIG7I/s2168/383782267_3655469698019972_184370434376900277_n.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1656" data-original-width="2168" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vw2Xv6FSnur0Qtusmme_VrNS3MmIYawLLfejS120gdQNPb0BFIZYfnqx6Fxg0u2m6vObDks2Aah8s6ZdP9CjygpcpOx-Z5iWyoRHD_YZDNf1mnks1PIyy0U8zJI6N9sOeyqhHdfuL035uCbJvevyUn3pMgN1JcLZo5FuVtoE6HU3qc8KLAszIZauIG7I/s320/383782267_3655469698019972_184370434376900277_n.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><br />While iconic landmarks are a must-see, don't forget to
explore the lesser-known trails and areas. This not only provides a more
intimate experience with nature but also helps alleviate the crowding at
popular spots. Plus, you might stumble upon some incredible wildlife and
breathtaking vistas.</p><p style="text-align: left;">While the big-name parks are incredible, consider exploring the lesser-known ones. They offer stunning natural beauty without the overwhelming crowds</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Time Entry Permits</span></h3><p style="text-align: left;">Some National Parks now require time entry permits. On
specific days, they release a block of these permits months in advance. It's
like trying to score concert tickets – people are ready to snatch them up as
soon as they become available. For instance, Glacier National Park sold out in
just ten minutes once. However, there's a glimmer of hope – they often keep a
small batch for the night before the day, so you might get a second chance. But
remember, not all parks have this system, so always check in advance.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br />Some parks now
charge extra parking fees, and they might only accept cashless payments. So, do
your research and be prepared to pay these fees to access the park.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Remember, with the surge in park attendance, a little
planning goes a long way in ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

After deferring my own aspirations in television news, which is now a blessing, I faced the daunting task of rekindling my own new aspirations. It was time to reinvent myself. This transition was no walk in the park; it came with many emotional obstacles, personal challenges and several mistakes. However, through the process, I learned invaluable lessons that would shape the person I am becoming. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Fast forward to today, my two boys have grown into adults charting their own life path.

The path is full of challenges and uncertainties, but also a time of growth and self-realization. I am embracing the lessons I learned from the past decade, realizing it was needed to get to where I am today. I am grateful for all those past moments, good and bad. Now, it's time for me to stop looking in the rear-view mirror and look forward to these new chapters in life with my adult children. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Here are some helpful tips for those facing similar empty nest challenges:</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Embrace the Evolution of Motherhood</b></span></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Motherhood evolves as your children grow, and it's essential to acknowledge that your role will change over time. Celebrate the fact that you provided a nurturing environment for your kids to become independent adults.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Reconnect with Your Passions</span></b></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Many of us put our own aspirations on hold while raising children. Now is the perfect time to rediscover and pursue your interests and passions. Dust off those old hobbies, consider new ones, or revisit career goals you once had.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Learn from Your Mistakes</span></b></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The journey to self-discovery often comes with missteps and setbacks. Embrace these as valuable learning experiences. Mistakes are an integral part of growth and reinvention. Don't be too hard on yourself.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Acknowledge the Profound Loss</b></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It's okay to grieve the departure of your children from your daily life. This loss can feel overwhelming, but acknowledging it is the first step towards healing and finding new sources of happiness.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Stay Active and Engaged</b></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Keeping busy is a great way to fill the void left by your children. Consider volunteering, taking up a new sport, or pursuing further education. Staying active and engaged will help you meet new people and create fresh experiences.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Spend Time in Nature</span></b></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nature has a soothing effect on the soul. Going on walks in the sun, spending time outdoors, or simply tending to a garden can help you find solace and peace during this transition. The mountains are my place to soothe my soul.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Prioritize Your Well-being</span></b></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Self-care is crucial during this phase of life. Make sure to prioritize your physical and emotional well-being. Exercise regularly, eat healthily, and seek professional support if needed. Your health matters.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Cultivate Your Spiritual Life</span></b></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For many, turning to faith and spirituality can provide immense comfort during times of loss and change. Consider putting God at the center of your life for guidance and support.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Remember this empty nest phase is an opportunity for personal growth, reinvention, and self-discovery. While some days may feel overwhelming, you have the power to shape this new chapter of your life in a way that brings you joy and fulfillment. Embrace it with open arms, and you may find that the best is yet to come.</span></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166791547714861438.post-31606765504239160022023-09-18T10:00:00.006-07:002023-11-16T15:43:27.207-07:0060 Before 60 List<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Embracing the Simplicity of Life </span></h2><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLaY9U0yC6oXtfbRr1gxQx0l_zKvR1XsCgbUCEtVJsTKGo2o4NrGtpZ0DbbGkw2K8uG7NPWjhaFnmhnxJSPUA9Ks-9Xhi5AzvAC2Ma4yl-n8mne7JKunB2TbmZjL8qndk_4F3EkRnkqAoToivz73_DdotH3cKnHZta7-VuRGCgago4ICnuOR3igdInItdw/s3088/IMG_0984.JPEG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2316" data-original-width="3088" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLaY9U0yC6oXtfbRr1gxQx0l_zKvR1XsCgbUCEtVJsTKGo2o4NrGtpZ0DbbGkw2K8uG7NPWjhaFnmhnxJSPUA9Ks-9Xhi5AzvAC2Ma4yl-n8mne7JKunB2TbmZjL8qndk_4F3EkRnkqAoToivz73_DdotH3cKnHZta7-VuRGCgago4ICnuOR3igdInItdw/s320/IMG_0984.JPEG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large;">My Bucket List 👉 <a href="https://www.jeepmomma.com/p/bucket-list.html" target="_blank">Read More</a></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Simple Pleasures Make Life Beautiful</h2><p style="text-align: left;">As I approach another milestone age, I find myself needing a reminder of the simple pleasures in life that make life beautiful.

They should be prepared to handle common trail-related emergencies or incidents.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Communications and Coordination</span></h3><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Communication and coordination are key. Maintaining clear communication with participants, ensuring they understand instructions, rules, and any necessary precautions. Coordinating logistics such as meeting points, trail information and what to expect are tasks of a trail guide. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Even securing camping spots and advising what to bring are on the list. Keeping the lines of communication open during the trails ride provides a smooth experience for the participants.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeC2lrVK_MZRyX6hQshjR3ZhVpQbXOwwI6XEy1_kjrHcJiR1mY3p_kYfgQwHl_cYY2yB3G3c0UTZZCmlg0JPBAkES22OIuW1eq-a4Tye5zYUYGqOaPVdcpQPS64KvZwYydk76WwlZP0rr4Krd7XY3mnhYWfgJqj-9vlglyzE9yTsNqmb6D02MFU2V0k6Lh/s1169/IMG_8683.JPEG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="859" data-original-width="1169" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeC2lrVK_MZRyX6hQshjR3ZhVpQbXOwwI6XEy1_kjrHcJiR1mY3p_kYfgQwHl_cYY2yB3G3c0UTZZCmlg0JPBAkES22OIuW1eq-a4Tye5zYUYGqOaPVdcpQPS64KvZwYydk76WwlZP0rr4Krd7XY3mnhYWfgJqj-9vlglyzE9yTsNqmb6D02MFU2V0k6Lh/s320/IMG_8683.JPEG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Environmental Stewardship</span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></div></div><div><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Trail guides often emphasize the importance of preserving and respecting the natural environment. Tread Lightly principals should be promoted and educating participants on ways to minimize their impact on the trail and its ecosystem are extremely important. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Obstacle Navigation and Rig Awareness</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial;">A guide needs to know how to attack different obstacles with the wide variety of rigs and be able to spot those rigs over obstacles on the trail. Each rig is unique from the make and model to aftermarket parts the rig is sporting. They all wheel differently; a four door could need a different line than a 2 door. The same with stock rigs versus lifted one. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">This is where the experience levels come in handy. Especially on trails that have technical obstacles. Guides must be aware of all of this and know the terrain they are guiding.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Informative Commentary</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For longer overlanding trips lasting several days offering informative commentary about the trail, its history, geological features, ecological significance, and any relevant cultural or historical information makes for a more fulfilling experience. Including key stops along the way for exploration enhance the experience. A bonus is providing a meal of a simple lunch or a Dutch-oven breakfast and dinner.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Overall, trail guides play a crucial role in facilitating safe and enjoyable outdoor experiences while imparting knowledge and fostering a deeper connection to nature.</span></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166791547714861438.post-24733849567212948412023-08-03T19:40:00.009-07:002023-10-28T17:11:51.193-07:00Carvana: Revolutionizing Car Sales in a Changing World<h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Digital Age's Impact on Our Lives</span></h2><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our world around us is rapidly evolving, technology has

put my trust in his research and we went for it.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Seamless Carvana Experience</span></h2><p style="text-align: left;">WOW! We didn’t even have to leave the house. He filled out
some information online then set up a house call. They came to our house looked at
the Vette and wrote a check right there in the driveway. A few hours later a
tow truck came and took the car.
