Coming and Going
Does your life sometimes feel like a “Lifetime Hotel?” Mine too….there are constantly people, places, and things coming and going. Talk about feeling like a conveyor belt…I guess life always makes us grapple with changes.
Each ...
[Coming and Going continued...]Go Manure
There was a great story a couple of nights ago on the NBC Evening News, featuring the Crave Brothers Wisconsin cheese farm. During the day while they were going about milking the cows, one of the brothers had a revelation. He thought to himself, can I ...
[Go Manure continued...]How Much?
Over the past few months I have never received more emails than those regarding energy and health care costs. The concern and fear that people have cannot be understated. Each year if income only rises between 2 to 4 percent and energy and health care ...

Jennifer's Journal
Living in the northeast, I am so ready for springlike weather, it’s not funny! It has been overcast for awhile now….but I see the yellow and purple crocuses starting to sprout up through the earth, and tiny buds on some of the trees…..the promise of Spring! Having spent my childhood in a warmer climate, where the sun was almost always shining, I find the last two months of winter in the northeast a little difficult….I think it’s the lack of light, more than anything. I am definitely a person who needs the light. As soon as it is warm enough (and even when it hasn’t been!) I will sit outside and turn my face towards the sun…..
Well, I have had the flu for the past week or so….for those of you who haven’t had it, please take good care of yourselves and try not to get it! It’s no fun! Fever, cough, aches…the usual flu stuff. The past 2 days my fever has gone, so I know I am almost completely well. It really is true that health is our greatest wealth, as the old saying goes. Apparently the “Influenza B” that I have can only be passed to humans and seals, according to the doctor. Isn’t that interesting? Each day as I get better I appreciate the amazing complexity of the human body and how it fights to restore itself to good health. Our job is to help it along as much as possible.
Well, 2008 is just around the corner, and I want to wish each and every one of my fans a Happy and Healthy New Year!! It’s amazing the difference each year makes in our lives, isn’t it? And it’s also amazing how time flies as we move along in Life. Stretch, take a deep breath, and lets all wish each other and the world a more peaceful and harmonious existence, because that is what we come from, and that is where we shall return someday.

Dream On
This song has to do with keeping Hope alive, during difficult circumstances. This song deals with divorce and how one parent trys to pull up the slack for the other. It is one of the songs recorded but not included on “Phoenix Rising.” ...
[continued...]America
I wrote my latest song “America” because I feel that sometimes this country isn’t appreciated enough, either by people who live outside of it, or by those who live inside its borders. It has its faults, for sure (energy and healthcare ...
[continued...]Milk and Honey
For those of us who have a spiritual life, being “Born Again” is often a part of our fabric, and I wrote the lyrics of this song, “Milk and Honey,” to reflect my deep appreciation for what Christ did for all of mankind.
This is a ...
