“Because it’s true: You don’t often notice the simple, the daily, the mundane, until it’s foreign and unrecognizable. Only then do day-to-day simplicities suddenly become exciting new adventures.”
LAUREN JACKSON was born and raised in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and has lived in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. She is an Army intelligence officer, the wife of a tremendously supportive husband, and the proud parent of four, plus one silly Airedale terrier. Having recently moved back to Gettysburg, Lauren looks forward to beginning a new chapter with leadership coaching, increased self-care and strength training, and coaching high school volleyball. She also dreams of hiking more of the Appalachian Trail and sharing new travel experiences with her loved ones.
