“The Sky is the Limit”
I have shared before how grateful I am for my spiritual director and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective she brings to our times of spiritual direction. This paradigm has been helpful to me in many ways. What a gift! After my time of spiritual direction this morning, I was reminded of this pic I…

2023 in the Rear View Mirror
“Jen, if you’re ever going to make money doing Spiritual Direction, you’re going to have to market to middle-upper class women.” Something rose up within me when my dearly-loved-albeit-blunt-and-practical friend said this. It was a stubborn and persistent feeling of resistance welling up within. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE middle-upper class women! But here’s…

A Not-so-Silent Night

You, My Love, Will Rise
I remember when I first started writing this song… It was 2020 and we were in the middle of Covid. A friend and I banded together to try to salvage what would have been a challenging educational year for our kids. We were doing a homeschool unit on birds and she was taking a turn…

Church and Me in 2023
May I share an overview of my neighborhood and what has been unfolding since we moved here last June? I had just started the 18th annotation when we moved from the Boston area to Thomasville, NC. The house into which we moved is bigger than any house we have ever owned and it has a…

The Story I’ll Tell
I love using the 1SE app to put together a Year in Review audio visual piece. The process of creating this is always a spiritual practice of sorts for me: it helps me to look backward in gratitude for all the joy and goodness we experienced over the past year. It also serves as a…
