Hey, love. I'm Jen ~
a writer and suicide loss survivor. I write words of hope and heart to help you through hard times. From poetry to practices, it’s all love. Take what you need. Even if life’s pretty good these days, there’s something here for you.
Hope you can hold on to.
Art prints, meditations, books. I believe in making things with heart, things that last a lifetime and impact your life for the better. Thoughtful, helpful, a joy to give and receive. The way it should be.
If all you’ve got left is a thread of hope, read my blog.
People say my words are the light in their darkness. I say: stay until you remember that you ARE the light.
“You helped me to not just survive. Thank you for that.”

From the Blog, with Love

I’m happy and grateful to be able to share her poem here in full, with you.

My Word for 2020 + A Manifesto for Magic

It’s a touchstone for when to say, “Hell yes!” and when to say, “No, thank you.” Since my word for 2020 is MAGIC, I'm sharing my Manifesto for Magic with you. In case you want more magic in your life, too.

End-of-Year Thoughts on Growth After Trauma + "Becoming"
Whatever's flipped your life upside down this year, now you're here. You've been planted somewhere new; actually, something new has been planted in you. A seed. And you decide how you nurture it, water it, weed it, let it root & bloom. You get to decide, here & now, how it unfurls & how you grow with it, through it.
