I Almost Shut Down the Blog
I was so close. Really. I cancelled my website hosting subscription. It would have dropped the domain name (theadventuredogblog.com) and put it on a free wix generic domain. I wanted to keep the content available for people to use. The trail guides, the campsite guides. I think those are useful to fellow adventurers. But the pressure was just really getting to me. I needed a break, and to give myself permission to actually step away. To cut ties. I've since renewed my subscri

This is Your Life. Are You Who You Want to Be?
It's been over three months since I was laid off from my corporate manufacturing engineering job. Currently, I'm propped up in my fluffy bed, two Border Collies lounging next to me, looking out my apartment window at a beautiful treeline. This could be any old Saturday, but today feels special. Today feels full of possibility. Because now, I'm making it. This month, everything is coming together. This month, it is the best, most successful month yet. This month, I've proven t

The Adventure Dog Gal - 4 Months of Learning & Evolving
Yeah, I'm the crazy lady in the photo above. Danielle by name. You might not know it, but 4 months ago this blog was only a thought on the back burner, barely an idea. Part of me can't believe it's been four months because it seems at once like it was yesterday and again like it's been ages. SO MUCH has changed and yet some things have remained constant. I want to share my journey with you. Maybe you'll find it inspiring and you'll be motivated to chase your dreams too! What'

Two Months of Blogging: Reflections
River and her snoot say hello. Yee Haw! Two months, and I’m still going as strong as Day 1! This has been so much fun, and it’s incredible how many people I’ve met through writing. Learning more about myself has been one of my biggest takeaways, though. What I like, what I don’t like, and what I want to do going forward. Here's the low down. LIKES Leading Guided Hikes! Even though I’ve only had two people on each hike, I have loved getting to know other adventure dog owners,

Full Transparency: Why I Started This Blog & My Dreams for the Future
The Adventure Dog Blog is now in its second month, and I could not be more thrilled! I am honestly loving every minute (except when I get frustrated with the interwebs) of writing, formatting, editing, photographing, networking, posting, and connecting with people. Just the other day, I figured out a bit of code and did a happy dance! I wanted to take a moment to reflect and to also share with YOU, my incredibly AWESOME readers, why I decided to start this endeavor. Warning:

Entering the Blogosphere
Whoa. What? In the past week, I've had the thought many times, "What am I doing??"This is a big, brand new world for me, and it can be intimidating at times. However, I have also felt more alive, motivated, and fulfilled than I have in a long time. I've spent between 1 - 4 hours per day working on my blog. That time has been spent doing everything from writing to changing the design of the website, editing and improving my photos, doing research (SO MUCH) to build quality con
