I’ve heard people say, “How do I get over something if it still hurts?” And yes, forgiveness is key, whether it’s aimed towards yourself or someone else. However, it’s not really the main issue. What people really want to know is, “How do I deal with the pain?” The problem with pain is that it doesn’t just go away quickly. It doesn’t disappear when the dust settles.

Jennifer E. Jones — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 04:16:36 +0000

“Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won."

My friends who have known me a long time can attest that I’m always into something. I’ve been a writer, guitarist, a radio DJ, artist, missionary, marathon runner, theater actress, and music journalist, just to name a few. I strongly considered becoming a chef, and it was only a twist of fate that steered me away from a cooking school in Florence, Italy. I’ve...

“Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.” – Henry Van Dyke

There's a good chance you were meant for more than what you're doing right now. Think about it. What did you want to be when you were a child? Before anyone told you it wasn't possible? Before you convinced yourself you wouldn't be any good at it? Now think about where you are now. See a difference?

‘Restless Enthusiasm’: Does Your Life Make You Happy?

Jennifer E. Jones — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 15:46:47 +0000

A few months ago, I saw this graduation speech floating around in cyberspace. The headline alone was very catchy: "Don’t work. Be hated. Love someone."

Find that pursuit that will energise you, consume you, become an obsession. Each day, you must...
