Look at Me! I’m Better Than a Crack Addict!
| February 16, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under Feast... |
Last Saturday night, February 11, 2012, my Facebook status read: “ Rest in peace Whitney Houston. Thank you for the music.” I meant it. Of course I knew that as the hours and days passed since her untimely death, the reports and stories of her tragic life would be all over the internet, news and… …continue reading.
The Side Effects of Cultivating Compassion
| February 13, 2012 | The Art of Kindness, Working Towards a Better World |
Today’s post was originally posted on September 10, 2010. Going over it again today, I stand by my words with even more conviction.

I came across an article via Facebook the other day titled: Top Five Regrets of The Dying The top 5 regrets were not entirely all that surprising, but enlightening non-the-less.

Authenticity Is a Gift: Who Knew?
| January 23, 2012 | ADHD, Feast... |
I spent much of my earlier life attempting to fit into the proverbial box because I was convinced that this was the only way that I would ever be worthy, or loveable. This erroneous thinking was extra torture because I cant even find the box let alone fit into it. And now, I finally understand that the reason I could not find the box is not because Im some sort of deficient sub-human. It is because Im not supposed to. …continue reading.

It has been nearly a year since I first came across Brene Brown’s Ted speeches which opened my mind to thinking about vulnerability and wholehearted living.

One Sweet World: Part Two
| January 5, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under One Sweet World |
At the end of September, I wrote a post from a newly claimed “portable” and temporary office in the woods 5 minutes walk from where I live. I shared this office with those who came before. Birds, some ducks and 3 deer. What I didn’t write… …continue reading.

| January 3, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under Feast..., The Art of Kindness |
A few years ago, this prayer became my mantra. I wrote it out on index cards, decorated them with stickers and drawings and posted them all over my home. There was one above the kitchen sink, one on my bathroom mirror, it was the wallpaper on my computer and I carried the tiny book Heart Steps, where it can be found on page 31, everywhere I went. …continue reading.
