My Experience: Navigating Wins, Losses, and the Beauty of Imperfection

Hey there,

Ready to dive into the real stuff of life? Welcome to “My Experience,” where I share my journey – the wins, the losses, and all the lessons I picked up along the way.

This past year was a game-changer for me, and the most profound lessons weren’t from successes but from failures. Turns out, they weren’t failures at all. Even when the outcome wasn’t what I expected, I discovered more about myself and the world than any success has ever taught me.

“My Experience” is about every story, not just the highlight reel but the gritty lessons learned through life’s twists and turns. As a new(ish) mom, I’ve learned the power of being real, kids absorb more from watching than from lectures or tough love.

My growth is stitched with experiences and failures. It’s not just about raising a child; it’s living out the qualities I want them to absorb – confidence, resilience, kindness.

I don’t have all the answers – in fact, I don’t have any. This isn’t a self-help page or an advice column; it’s the unfiltered stories of a real person. My hope is that the lessons I’ve learned and the way I navigate life bring you a fresh perspective on familiar ideas, sparking new thoughts and a renewed mindset.

Ideas are born from confluence – two ideas merging in a new way. I aim to bring a fresh understanding and a new mentality to life and who you are, embracing the beauty of imperfection.

Let’s embrace the imperfect journey together. 🌿

  • Mirrored Lessons

    In the heart of my youth, under a teenage sun,Jen inscribed on glass, a lesson just begun.“Everything happens for a reason,” she wrote,On an hourglass mirror, afloat,Hanging by a ribbon, in my room’s soft light,A beacon through chaos, a guiding sight. As a mother now, with a child in embrace,I ponder that mirror, its enduring…

  • everything happens for a reason

    In high school, my best friend inscribed the message “Everything happens for a reason” on a mirror shaped like an hourglass. It hung on my bedroom wall, suspended by a ribbon, and over time, it has become a lasting symbol and reminder in my life. It’s strange how, amidst losing various possessions, this particular mirror…
