Andrea Gibson has been dying out loud for a very long time. This is just one of their beautiful poems. It’s so achingly beautiful - and so much more tender and poignant knowing they are no longer on this earth in a living human form. I believe them — that they are more here now than ever before. So many will grieve the loss of their words. And so many more will know Andrea after death because of all the words they left behind.

For quite awhile now, I’ve felt called to offer the products I use and love to all of you. And it’s finally happening.

I promise to never offer anything that I haven’t used & abused. Nothing you see here will be anything less than adored and absolutely freaking loved.

I fell in love with Lunya products a couple of years ago. They are a splurge, no doubt — and they are worth it! The fabric is divine, the company is stellar to work with — and you can live in their pieces even when you’re not sleeping.

A just placed a big order or my favorites from their shop - and can’t wait to offer them to you.

If you’ve been watching their offerings and have something you’d like me to find or hold for you — please let me know. Sneak p*eks of some of what’s coming below!!

xoxo,
Jenni

Are you curious what it would look like, feel like, be like to work with me?

Let’s get acquainted.

I am scheduling 6 week, 3 month & 6 month coaching groups that will start this fall. These groups are grief tending groups. You get to show up with your grief - however it came to you - and we will wade into it together. Grief comes in so many forms. We grieve people who have died, we grieve the ends of relationships, we grieve the death of dreams. I will wade into all of it with you and together we will learn how to address grief. We will do the work to let the light in and live in this place grief built.

The scheduling will come together over the next few weeks depending on what works for you. Send me a message, comment below, text me, email me. However you want to get in touch. I know a group is calling to many - answer the call. I love you.

Loves. Be easy and gentle with yourself today. Let that be the gift you give to you.

Christmas can be really hard. Holidays can be really hard. (Let’s be real - sometimes average Tuesdays are really hard.) We are grieving. We are lonely. We allow regrets and should haves and must dos and keep ups interfere and over shadow the invitation to just be right here, right now, exactly as we are able to show up.

You are loved. The world is better with you in it. I see you.

My sweetest, most intimate, tender-est moments are punctuated by whispers.

The tiny voice of a child sharing secrets while cupping my ear with sticky fingers.

The sweet nothings that are everything uttered hot and breathless - not so much words as vibrations sent through my body to my soul.

The melody carried barely perceptible from far away on the spring breeze that invites me to tilt my head just so to tune it in just a touch more clearly for just a moment.

So much time spent screaming, raging, begging to be heard - shouting into the abyss wondering why there’s no response.

When all along, it was whispers shaping, moving, intricately carving the mountain of my soul.

Stop bringing your phone into the bathroom.
STOP.
You deserve to be able to breathe and p**p without scrolling or answer “one quick email”. No.
Multitasking isn’t real. It’s not your superpower. Put down that bu****it for good right now.
Rolling through this life proud of how much you’re suffering is really effed up. Would you be proud of your bestie acting that way? Of course not. You would wrap them in a fuzzy blanket and your comfiest pajamas and make them tea and stroke their hair as they fall asleep. Time to best friend yourself.
Reclaim your alone time in the bathroom. It’s the first step.

What if love is really all there is?

What if that cape you’re wearing is a room-darkening shade that has kept you from fully seeing the light and fully feeling the warmth of the sun that is smiling and beaming and waiting for you to bathe your face in it?

What if that badge of honor and courage is a thorn in your heart that keeps you bleeding and hurting and taking it off and setting it down isn’t hard at all and you’ll lose nothing at all when you choose not to wear it?

What if the wound that you hold isn’t actually yours and all that tending and “healing” and work you’ve been doing just simply isn’t?

What if that scar you anticipate wearing so visible and red and raw at the end of this isn’t at the end of this and instead there isn’t a mark or shame or proof because at the end of this you’re birthed new without a backstory to tell or baggage to carry?

What if freedom isn’t a lifetime of toil and plodding and journey away but is actually just the other side of this very thin coin waiting so impatiently for you to gently toss it into the air and allow it to land face down which has actually been face up all along?

What if you dare to unshackle yourself and step forward lighter and freer and you-er and that emancipation happens as you dare to cut bangs into your mane so there isn’t a security blanket to hide behind anymore that never provided any refuge anyway?

What if you let them see all of you even the naked and ugly and scared and scarred parts and what they see is gossamer wings and truth and light and that isn’t a revelation for them because they’ve always seen it but it’s a sighing revelation for you as you finally dare to gaze into your own eyes?

What if love is really all there is?
