Hi! My name is Neile Jones. I’m an Arkansas/Oklahoma woman who is a wife, bonus mom, sister, friend, daughter, author and news anchor. I spent the majority of my life in or around a television station working on my craft and learning as much as I can. I love to share stories, and I love life. I guess that’s where the idea of ‘JonesN4life.com’ began. I realized it’s okay not to put work first all the time. I realized it’s okay to love myself the way I am and it’s okay if you don’t. Lol. My faith is strong, my heart is full, and that’s a pretty great place to be.
I’ve played sports most of my life, and I love working out. Now as an adult I find my body sometimes challenges me more than ever before, and I like to challenge it right back. I created this site for me and you. I wanted a place to live, share, and celebrate not just my victories but yours as well. I come here to share things I’ve learned from others and from my personal my experience. I can assure you there will be typos, growing pains, and a few cool things… maybe. LOL.
I’m not perfect, obviously, and I like that about me. Anyway, if you want to know more, you can always click on my social media icons on the left side of the page. Check out LinkedIn for more about my professional background. It always feels weird to talk about those accomplishments, so I’ll just leave it at that for now. Click on the social media Icons at the bottom of each page or post if you want to share on your social media pages. And if you have an idea, by all means, email neile@jonesn4life.com.
Anyway, here’s to anyone else out there JonesN4Life and the journey that comes with living life now…

🚨They call the second Friday of January Quitters Friday, but NOT for us❣️Who’s still showing up with me?
2024 threw me a curveball with my knee, and there have been days I’ve felt completely worn out—especially with the setback discovered late in the year. It feels like starting over, BUT I’m choosing to see that setback as a discovery—a reminder that healing is possible.
Some days, you rest. Some days, you focus on your mental game. And some days, you push. But every day, you try.
Being committed doesn’t mean being perfect; it means showing up when things get tough and knowing that hard isn’t impossible—it’s just hard.
Progress isn’t linear, and adapting is NOT quitting. Every small step forward counts.

Happy New Year!
I don’t care what anyone says animals can love! This little guy has been right by my side every time I’m doing physical therapy at home. He’s 20 times more protective than before, 20 times more loving and just when I need a nudge to keep going, I feel a little wet nose on my thigh as if to say ….Neile you’ve got one more rep in ya! #puppylove #pettherapy #physocaltherapy #healing #oklahoma #arkansas #❤️
🎄Christmas caroling was just what I needed! I guess sometimes ya just need a little old-fashioned fun!
When you feel like you’re starting over—again—remember, your self-talk matters.
“I’m doing this.”
“I’m healing.”
“I won’t give up.”
I just keep telling myself the same thing, over and over, because I know progress isn’t always linear, but it’s still progress.
