Living In A Postcard: Recent Episodes
Daisy Jordan
I'm Daisy Jordan, a fiction and mystery author, and in this podcast I'll talk about living in my own postcard (see meaning below!)...writing, traveling, hanging with my pets and my fiancé Andy, and whatever else! I'll also invite friends to join me to talk about their lives...inspiration, dating stories, funny adventures, and so on! Two of my characters, Hilton and Jill, use the term "living in a postcard" to describe living in the moments they would die for and making that a daily occurrence, not just an aspiration!

And I tell about my mom's and my new business venture that I mentioned in the last episode...we are now up and running with our Etsy shop, Island Breeze Beads!

🎶She drove up to Cincinnati, it took her 17 hours in a van...🎶 In this episode I talk about Andy's and my summer roadtip with the pets, then our 2nd trip up to Andy's cabin in Wisconsin later in the summer. I devote the second half of the episode to my all-time favorite musician, Jimmy Buffett, and how his music has influenced my life and inspired me to live in my postcard! **Correction: At one point I say we took Lancelot and Calypso to the cabin on our 2nd trip of the summer when we flew up; I meant to say Lancelot and Jello. 😻--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/authordaisyjordan/support
Andy and I and 4 of our friends went to Nashville in early May for another Taylor Swift show...which ended up being a rain show! It was a wild weekend with lots of news drops from/about Taylor and a 4-hour shelter-in-place at the stadium! Then later in May, Andy and I drove our new van to Gulf Shores, Alabama for the Hangout Music Fest, which Andy dubbed LoveFest!

It has been 12 weeks since Hurricane Ian, and while mainland Ft Myers has mostly gone back to some semblance of normalcy, the beach and islands have not. I give updates on all of it, including my trips to the island and what it's like there. Then I talk about what Andy and I have been up to since Ian, including our 1-year anniversary, a trip we took, some of my favorite holiday traditions, and a trip we have coming up! I apologize for the recording hiccups in this one, there are a few more pauses than usual where I had to start a new segment! *The cover photo is the picture I talk about in this episode of Nervous Nellies, where we had our rehearsal dinner, showing the difference from November 11 to December 7.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/authordaisyjordan/support
