I am Jena, a children's book author, content creator, blogger, and busy homeschool mom.
Why the word "busy"? I felt robbed by chronic illness, robbed of enjoying life, robbed of being productive, robbed of being busy. As I have figured out how to live with and overcome some of my challenges, my conviction is to share it with you, knowing you may feel alone and isolated. I want you to know that you aren't alone and that you can find ways to be productive and find purpose in your life. I have felt so much guilt and shame for not being able to be productive and busy the way others are. Instead of giving up I have found ways to be busy and have purpose in my life. While the world tells us to slow down and stop, they don't know how much our lives HAVE stopped, how BORING that can be. Yeah, some days my health makes me slow down and take time to rest, but I want to show up and be busy because that word brings me so much hope.
My husband and I share our lives with our 4 children, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Sometimes, we have a garden and keep chickens.
Due to my health challenges, we are trying to train Clover, our youngest dog to be my Service Dog, but the road is not easy and we are sharing that journey with you.
