SCROLL IN. A beautiful technique Cindy Ryan first showed me.
Right now, I am struggling.
I am heavy with grief
I am heavy with sickness - a virus has taken me down, severe and concerning hearing loss in my ear, agonizing pain and was pushy and loud enough that I’ll see a specialist today.
I’m grieving very special friends
I’m grieving relationships
Feeling lost and alone.
Feeling low energy and angry, yelling up at the universe “I can only take so much more!”

So….I SCROLLED IN TODAY
Went back through my own pictures instead of scrolling social media.
And look! Look at the community I have. Look at the fun I have!
The energy I have - even though right now I am bed ridden - I remind myself I’ll have it again and I won’t waste it.
I won’t judge myself for feeling so so down right now, but I know it’s a season and it has to pass.
And I will be here, sharing my stories to hopefully make others who feel the same way feel less alone.
I love you all on this journey

We say “How are you?” All day long. And it’s got me thinking… because lately my answer isn’t “OK.” My answer is far more complex than one word. And I bet your answer is too. What if we used #’s to express where we were truly at??? No need for the story, unless it is a safe space to tell it. But what if we said “I’m a 7, sprinkled with some 2’s today?” I use this with my students in the classroom. It gives them a chance to share how they really feel and the rest of us an awareness of how to support them in the day. In 2 months I’ve lost two close friends. From the outside, I keep being told, “WOW. You’re glowing!!!” And I love to hear these comments. But it also shows how we never know what’s happening within a person. I invite you to notice how often you say- How are you, barely waiting for a response. Why do we use this as a greeting if we aren’t actually seeking the true answers? Just some things to mull over on this Thursday when a convicted felon who is against women has been named the leader of the U. S. I always want to know how you truly are and will make time to listen to your stories if you need someone. XO Jenn

Getting back into the habits that served me before. Running. Pilates. Writing. Reading. Dancing. For a while I needed to hide under covers and watch tv. Those tools were valuable too and so needed in this new season of my life. But it’s exciting to feel more like myself again.

Sit with it. You have to sit with it. We are human and meant to feel all of our feelings. When we feel them, and acknowledge them, they then move through us and don’t get stored. Stored emotion = pain, tension, and disease. Touching nature can help you sit with it. I lost another friend last week. Yesterday I hugged a tree and sat on a rock ugly crying. That loud gutteral cry that you want no one to hear. I sat in the Forest, near the classroom my GF taught in and sat with her, with myself, with my anger, frustration, loneliness and sadness. I work with clients online and in person to help them release a lifetime of stored emotion. I’m a client too. I use Somatic therapy to help me me through chronic pain and anxiety. Reach out. To me. Or go hug a tree or cry on a friend’s shoulder. Walk by moving water. And don’t rush into an emotion like happiness because you feel the world want you to. I love you. XO Jenn

What small or large piece of JOY will you bring to yourself today?
Don't forget to look for the things that bring you JOY.
Observe them, say them out loud, take a photo and send to a friend.
Your brain is always listening and looking for what you program into it
The way you speak and think is life-changing
Love you

Tonight I danced for you. Only a few weeks ago you asked me why I wasn’t signed up for dance classes again……I lost you two days later.
You knew my art was writing and dance, just as yours was painting and creating beautiful canvases.
Your art graces my walls as a reminder of your beauty and my love for you.
I miss you in every moment. Your words not only stick with me, but keep me moving forward in this time of heavy grief where I find each day and each task difficult and hard. I dance for you and for me. To keep me going. I love you
