Uncategorized Saw this picture yesterday on tinybuddha.com. Couldn’t agree more with this. Sometimes it’s hard to make that choice, I understand that. But I see how much more beneficial it is to choose to see the positive side. Posted on May 6, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized Absolutely in love with this story about Love. So true. Posted on April 30, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized The loss of love is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through so far. Unfortunately it’s apart of life. Mostly everyone goes through it at some point or another. As devastating as it was, I was able to stay strong and positive throughout the entire process. Early on in the break up I read this quote and it always stuck with me. After bumping into the “ex” tonight I realized how true this quote really is and I was struck at the absolute positivity it had for me. I will always have feelings for this person. We have history and we had a life together for many years. This person is still a best friend, just one I don’t see but I know they have my back no matter what. Instead of focusing on the negative in this situation, I am actively choosing to see the positive. I am grateful that I got the opportunity to love someone like that and have that love returned. We never know what life has in store for us. But it’s important to stay strong, positive and have faith that things will always work out for the best. :) Posted on April 28, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized Sometimes I forget this. I get lost in fear, doubt, anxiety and insecurity. I need to keep this close, somewhere I can see it so it’s daily reminder. Shoutout to my BFF @mellengo for helping me with this and always encouraging me whenever I get stuck or lost! :) Posted on April 27, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized One of the things I’ve had to struggle with over the past two years is self-love. I’m still a work in progress but I am definitely on the right track. Sometimes I forget that I am good enough for anything I want to have or achieve in this world. I let fear, anxiety and insecurity take over. I need to remember everyday that I AM amazing and I deserve amazing things. Shoutout to my BFF @melaniengo for always being there and encouraging me with this :) Posted on April 27, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized The past is over and done with. And yet it can still hurt as much as it did then. We have two choices – run from it or learn from it. When you choose to learn, it’s a difficult process but one that gives you strength and confidence. I am still learning. Posted on April 27, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized Two years ago when I joined Pinterest, I fell in love with quotes like every other girl on the planet. :) and this one always stuck out to me. Maybe it was how the words were artistically drawn or maybe it was the words themselves. I was shocked to find this quote and other ones like it on a website for the artist. Low and behold, that artist Kal Barteski actually lives in Winnipeg! Her quotes and artististic design that I love so much is called brush script. I have started collecting many of her brush script art and planning on making a collage. I love seeing her passion on Instagram. If you have time, take a moment to check her out. Happy Friday :) Posted on April 25, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
Uncategorized For the past 2 years, I have been volunteering every Thursday night at Siloam Mission. For years I donated money around the holidays, but never got the chance to get there and see what the place was all about. Then finally I made the decision to sign up for a tour and because the tour guides were so warm and welcoming, I chose to start volunteering on Thursday nights with them. And now we have a great little crew. We’re all like one big family – enjoying the time we spend together and the time spent with the patrons. Siloam mission is a place that is so deeply important to me. Two years ago I went through a really difficult life event that tested every ounce of my strength, faith and hope. However after spending a lot of time at Siloam, it really opened up my eyes to what’s really important and that I have so many incredible things to be thankful for. I have a great job that allows me to afford to have my own apartment. I have a great family and wonderful friends who love me and support me. I have a bed and food in the fridge. Many of these patrons don’t have these luxuries. It’s a huge reminder that no matter who you are, anyone can always end up homeless. It’s so important to be aware of this and conscientious of the fact that we are all so blessed. I will always be forever grateful for this place and for opening up my eyes to the things I didn’t see before. It has made me who I am today. :) Posted on April 24, 2014 by Jenna Continue reading →
