Nothing Beats A Failure But A Try…
You Can Do It!! One of the reasons we decided to become self-employed was to have the independence and freedom to have a lifestyle that would allow for travel. Although there have been several bumps in the road along the way, (along with many different companies), we have learned the value of seeing a company or idea and seeing it through to its true potential, then selling it with love. Some might call us Company Flippers instead of Property Flippers. Choosing this entrepreneurial avenue has allowed us the opportunity to try so many new things, learn new vocations, and explore so many different opportunities. Our endeavors have taken us from…

It’s Time To Pat Yourself On The Back
Right here, right now – stop what you’re doing & take your hand over your shoulders (with some gusto – we add) & pat yourself on the back. Say congratulations – job well done!! Too often were quick the point on our flaws, unattained goals, achievements that we never quite grabbed, daunting tasks ahead, failures, mishaps, etc. We put too much emphasis on what’s at the end of the finish line. We’re here to tell you CONGRATULATIONS – because in spite of all of those things you’re still here. You’re still standing. You’re still reading this which means you are fighting the good fight. You care. You are not…

Finding Grace
There’s beauty all around us, an abundance of joy within us. So often we look externally to be fulfilled, however everything that we need to create our personal Heaven already exists within our minds. All we have to do is accept it and live it. There are many answers to fulfill many paths to righteousness and infinite possibilities of how we can live our lives. Believing that we have the power to create our own lane space and emotional well-being freeze us to live a more fulfilled purposeful and joyful life. Often the path to finding Grace lies through countless roads of bitterness, heartache, & hurtful truths about ourselves, that…

Big Island Style Mai Tai
Inspired By Our Time On The Big Island Volcano House Restaurant & Hotel Volcano National Park, Hawaii One of our most memorable camping trips ever was going to Volcano National Park, on the Big Island of Hawaii. This National Park feels like Home – as we’ve been several times. Ace even got to go on a field trip with his elementary school, where he and his fourth-grade classmates were able to spend the night camping and got to go bowling at the park’s bowling lane!! We’ve been going to Volcano National Park for so many years now with many different relatives and it is such a memorable trip to look…

Up, Up and Away!
Looking to create a truly memorable family experience that everyone can enjoy? Why not rev up the adrenaline a bit, and try your hand at skydiving!! It’s funny how there are certain things you would never do unless it was for someone you love…well we can add indoor sky diving to this list! It was one of those experiences that we would have never chosen to do on our own but because our son, Ace, desperately wants to actually jump out of a real airplane at 30,000 ft (like his Dad) we found ourselves doing the next best thing. Even though we were all terrified, we found ourselves letting go…

Time For A Good Read
Grab your cashmere throw, a cup of frothy hot chocolate, and let’s dive in… The leaves are falling, the air is crisp, and winter is right around the corner. It’s time to grab your favorite plush throw and head to your cozy little reading nook. Escaping the world with a book is a great way to unwind and head into a fantasy journey of epic proportions without leaving the confines of your home. It allows you to detach from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, without zoning out in front of the tv. Thankfully my love of reading was inherited from my Grandfather. As a child spending time…

Get Creative With Your Workspace!
Work in a space that excites you. Here at Holiday Rising, we spend a lot of time throughout the year on the road. Because of that, we have become very familiar with libraries and quiet places to study and work. However, there are times when you just have to make do. So having a nicely portable workstation is essential. I love to travel with an all-encompassing work bag. This allows us to carry all of our work essentials, like a computer, hand sanitizer, mousepad, workstation blanket/desk, & water bottle. Having everything handy in one convenient and stylish bag helps encourage us to work spare of the moment and often. We…

You Can’t Eat A Watermelon Whole
Have you ever sat down in front of a watermelon and thought to yourself, “I can take this thing down in one bite.” Just you and the watermelon. Seeds or Seedless. One Bite. Seriously, have you ever thought that? No…no you have not. Do you know why? Because it’s stupid – that’s why. When you take a look at a watermelon you know right away that you are not going to be able to eat it in one bite. It’s common sense to think, “There is no way that whole thing will fit into my mouth, so there is no way I can take it down in one bite –…
