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
