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.
Do Not Die With Your Music Still Inside You
| February 9, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under Feast... |
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. The list was compiled by Australian Palliative Care Nurse Bronnie Ware who turned it into a blog called Inspiration and Chai, and then a full… …continue reading.

” If my success can only be earned at the expense of your success, then it is not success at all.” ~Jenny Ann Fraser These days, I spend too much of my time in a world where money is the be all and end all of everything including decisions made about how to treat… …continue reading.
Authenticity Is a Gift: Who Knew?
| January 23, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under 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. As always happens when new and valuable information comes to light, it becomes necessary to broaden one’s thinking resulting in a shift in world view. I had no awareness… …continue reading.
When Will We Be Enough?
| 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.
Ushering in 2012 With Effy Wild and The Book of Days
| December 29, 2011 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under Feast... |
2011 was for me, a year of massive transition as it is the year I left a 16 year career in the arts for a job as a receptionist in an office. This felt a lot more like moving backwards than it felt like moving forward. To say that it hasn’t been easy seems like… …continue reading.
The Smartest Woman I Know
| November 14, 2011 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under Feast... |
One thing that I believe, is that we dont spend enough time in our lives honouring what we have, and what we have had in the past. When we shift our attention from the busyness of our lives and our personal struggles, (whatever they may be) to the many blessings of our world, we can… …continue reading.
