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.
Embracing Vulnerability: The Path To True Authenticity
| January 9, 2012 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under Feast... |
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.
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.
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.

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.
Why We Need To Work Together
| October 24, 2011 | Posted by Jenny Ann Fraser under One Sweet World |
On a typical workday morning, I get up, feed my cat, shower, brush my teeth, have breakfast, get dressed, pack up what I need for the day. I don’t usually leave the house without my phone, my stainless steel water bottle, coffee mug and of course my purse. Most weekdays, I head directly from work… …continue reading.
