I don’t write for you. I write for me. And yet as I type, I hesitate. I wonder if I’m saying too much. Or perhaps too little. I type it out. Backspace furiously. Type again. Sometimes I simply discard the draft. No one needs to read this, I think. There is plenty of content and … Continue reading This isn’t for you.

Climbing the Boulder
"Hey, how are you?" What a simple question that, when asked sincerely, may rock your world. That is, if you're prone to such reactions. I sure am. It's amazing to me sometimes how lonely depression feels. It's an inherently self-absorbed state; you constantly feel as though you're the only one who feels stuck or anxious … Continue reading Climbing the Boulder
Give for the sake of giving
A long overdue meditation sesh tonight in my hotel room (work trip, not a vacation) brought up some clarity. Surprise! Isn't it absurd that the things that are best for us, like quiet, reflective meditation or prayer, always end up being the things we put on the back burner when life gets busy? On the … Continue reading Give for the sake of giving
#begolden
I've been trying to decide lately if I need a new hashtag for my life. I'm sure this is an entirely relatable sentence, because everyone clearly lives their lives by a hashtag. 🙄 But back in 2016, I began to search for a mantra that fit my goals for myself. As someone who has fought … Continue reading #begolden
Self-worth, insights, and all the other things I worry about
You know what's kinda the worst? Second guessing whether your story, your wisdom, your life, is really worth telling. It's not as though I continuously get feedback that sounds like, "Geez, Jenna, shut up already", and yet I have allowed this little ticker tape to continue in my brain when I start to share my … Continue reading Self-worth, insights, and all the other things I worry about
Gettin’ pensive in Autumn
Apparently, my strongest urges to write come in the fall. I went to my little WordPress app today, itching to express myself, and saw that most of my previous posts were published in September in previous years. Fall must be the source of my creation... Although, most of the years I've been blogging, I have … Continue reading Gettin’ pensive in Autumn
Why I always #optoutside
How often do you go outside and feel like you're outside? I mean really feel it. We walk from our home to our car and our car to our work and back again. Windows rolled up to make sure the AC or heater is safely stuck inside with us. From time to time we sit … Continue reading Why I always #optoutside
Choosing joy
I have been using this motto for well over a year now, and I know I've posted a bit about it. Every year or so I tend to give myself a focus-- I basically refuse to align these goals with New Years because I try to pretend I'm special and different from everyone else (let's be … Continue reading Choosing joy
I do what I want!
It's been quite a while since my last entry, and for probably good reasons--at least, that's what I keep telling myself. #justification So let's take a quick journey from September, shalth we? (I'm aware this is not a word, thank you!) I was a few months into a relationship in that post, and with the … Continue reading I do what I want!
Practice, practice, practice
You gotta love that halfway-through-the-year-not-motivated life, right? It gets us all at one point or another. For some of us it's a blip in time, others feel stagnant for months, and maybe even years. So, what gets us back up? We always look for the newest invention or fad to jump on board with, since … Continue reading Practice, practice, practice
