About me

I seem to have this ability to express myself through writing and I rather enjoy it.  I learned from a very young age that if I were to write about how I was feeling or thinking it would be well received, often more so than any attempts at verbalizing the same thoughts.

I want to write. Not only about the things that come easily and naturally for me but I want to expand and broaden my areas of confidence when it comes to writing.  I have never given it time or attention.  I’m not sure how or about what or why but I feel pulled, drawn, that the universe is calling, that it’s time to begin the journey.  It is my hope and dream that I get fulfillment from this mecca of mine.

I want to learn and grow as a writer.  I want to learn and grow as a listener.  I want to learn to engage the reader, stir the reader and most of all connect with the reader.

I would rather save the details of the ‘about’ to my writing.  Let it unravel, to let  you experience and get to know me through revelations in my writing.  I want our relationship to be unique.  Have your idea of who I am and what I am about blossom from with in you.

All that being said to help you know about me, I am first generation born Canadian (family from England) I am in my 40’s, I was married when I started this blog however now divorced and engaged with a new partner, I have children and grandchildren. I have raised 8 children both my own and adopted. I am currently a slow travelling digital nomad wandering, pondering and recollecting as I go.

I care about community, volunteerism, education, travel, culture, knowledge and enlightenment.  I have a big fascination with the Universe, space, time and all of the sciences.

It is important to me that people learn and understand that they are special and unique.  That they have a destiny and a purpose during their time here on this beautiful planet.

I share my life, my story, my adventures and teachings in hopes to help inspire others to do the same.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to bother with my Blog.

      So glad to hear it. I’m happy to hear that there are like minded people out there.
      I have been blown away by the amazing things that I have read over the last day or two. I’m about to blog about that very topic (reading).
      Thank you for the comment and the encouragement and good luck with your journey.

    It gets to be addictive.
    But truth be told I blog primarily for myself – to organise and formulate my own thoughts and get them written them down. The main feeling of achievement comes in finishing a post. Having readers is a bonus. Visitors and followers are icing on the cake.
    Good Luck with your blog.

      Thank you. It does get quicker but there is so much to see and so many things to read, it’s hard to remember to write these past few days!
      Good luck with your blog. I will be reading.

    Thanks for the visit to mine…It’s a year now since I started and yes it can get addictive, like now when I should be asleep. I’ve “met” lots of wonderful bloggers and it is fun. It does help to know what you are about so you can find like-minded folk more easily. I wasn’t sure what I was for the most of last year but I definitely knew photography was a large part of my blog. The chatting part I just left to myself and whoever came along was welcome to read, take or leave whatever they found. It is fun to have someone comment but I found it’s nicer to just find other blogs to read and comment on (and that’s just me talking not giving advice). Just be yourself and have fun 🙂 (now that’s my 2cs). Welcome to the blogosphere and WP.

    Regards,
    Mary

    Hi Jennifer, glad to see you. I’m a newbie too and trying to find my way. It will be fun to follow your writing adventure.
    “You never know who is reading or what your writings can do for other people.
    Trust your instincts. Trust your intuition. I can’t say that enough.”
    Thanks for that thought, it is really helpful. Also, thanks for stopping by to see what I’m up to, I appreciate it.

    Jennifer — Thank you for stopping by my Blog recently and liking my current post. I truly appreciate you taking the time to do so. I also share your enjoyment of writing, and while I consider myself to be a pretty good story teller when I have an audience, rarely do I have the audience to listen. This medium allows me to tell my stories, to those that choose to listen, and who find my ramblings interesting. I also write for my granddaughter, so she can learn about me after I am gone. Your gift and skill as a writer, has been special to you. I wish you much success. Please take care — Bill

      Continued success.

      Dear curious soul,
      I am tempted to also leave that up for interpretation but although I have a strong fondness towards my sofa… the name of my blog is writings of a mrs.
      I love inquiring minds!
      Cheers,

      Hi M,
      It’s a continual journey for each of us. I’m positive that you will get where you want to be, the first step is knowing it!
      I have been reading and taking an interest in other peoples blogs, commenting if I have something to say and trying to encourage others. I have focused more time on reading then writing in fact.
      You’ve given me something to think about and possibly something to blog about in the near future.
      Take care,
      Jennifer

      Yes, it’s so distracting. I find myself continually thinking, that would eb a great idea for a blog, or wanting to stop everything and write an inspired poem.
      A lot has been changing with in me and my household lately!
      Are you working on something specific right now?
      Cheers,

    Hi Jennifer and thanks for the like. I am new to blogging so appreciate you taking time to stop by. Like you, I love writing and always have done so just wanted to create a forum for fellow writers to share their work and interact. Hope it takes off, but whatever happens I will keep writing! 🙂

      So great to hear from you.
      I was just new a mere 14 days ago today. I feel like I am only a baby blogger myself.
      Write from your heart. From what makes you shine inside.
      Cheers,

    I don’t often venture over to blogs with words: I primarily focus on photos. However, if you see any of my photos that would work well with your words feel free to use them…a link back to my blog would be appreciated. Good luck.

    Jennifer,

    I was so glad you dropped by my blog “Randa Lane…” and liked my poem “Adam.” Very few of my writings are as “mature” in theme as “Adam,” so visit often. I have just followed you because of the excellence of your poetic voice and am looking forward to sharing the world through your eyes…and heart.

    Warmest,

    -R-

    I’ve found that writing what you feel and having your voice be heard is very rewarding. Even though my blog is mostly silly and sarcastic and filled with your garden-variety profanity…you can still hear my voice through it – and you can also hear yourself chuckle at my mis-haps. I’m glad you stumbled upon my blog a few days ago – and even “gladder” that I am reading yours – so thank you for that – and for reaching out. You’re a gem that I’m lucky to have found! Keep being YOU! ~ Sassy

    When I told my aunt, an Irish artist, that I was working on a memoir she said to me, “Oh, you must join a writer’s workshop.” It was the best piece of advice I ever got. Stick with it, and follow your passion.

      Hi Mark,
      Thanks for sharing your journey. Following your heart and intuition is so important, get’s energy moving!
      Poetry is so new for me! Like a week new! But I’m enjoying it.
      Multimedia and You Tube is on my horizon 😉
      Thanks for the love from Ireland.
      I hope you stayed tuned.

    Hello Jennifer,
    Thanks for your visit to my site and for giving me the opportunity to discover and explore yours. You write with a free, happy, exhuberant style that is so comfortable and easy to read. There’s a happy confidence that made me want to explore more. I am assuming the picture was of your son, if so, when he grows up the girls are gonna love dem eyes. Best of luck to you on your journey and with your blog.

      Hi Papa Bear,
      Yours is by far my most valued and appreciated comment. Thank you.
      Yes that’s my son and the girls already love him at 5! The amount of ‘girls only except for Adam’ parties he gets invited to is silly!
      Well wishes,
      Jennifer
