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

Choosing joy
I have been using this motto for well over a year now, and I know I've posted a bit about it.

I do what I want!

The Yoga Challenge
Yoga challenges and yoga selfies are incredibly popular as of late. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you'll see I like to participate in monthly yoga challenges. I'm aware that I may have clogged your feeds with pictures of myself in various poses, and I apologize if that causes you any grief; however, … Continue reading The Yoga Challenge
Stillness
Sheesh, it's been a busy week. Classes, work, visiting old friends in Flagstaff, family time, working out, an amazing hike, and of course, some yoga. I won't pretend I've been a model yogi in this week. My reactivity flared up, eager to be annoyed by small things and passing comments. I was hurt, agitated, sad, and … Continue reading Stillness
