metamorphosis

Hey. It’s me, Jenny. Wonder where I’ve been? Well, I’ll get to that. For now, I’m just thrilled – almost beyond words – to be back here. Thrilled to have a voice and a place to express it. And I’m especially grateful to you for reading. And listening.

Of course, there’s an enormous back story here. I will, at some point, attempt to wade through those murky waters with you. But for today, I’m going to just drop the bombshell: I ended a 10-year marriage on January 1, 2010.

There. Said it. Moving on. So let’s switch gears a bit so that I can share with you where I am right now. I want to fill you in on my exuberant re-emergence into my own life.

I wish I could say that over the last few months that I was off gallivanting in some exotic land particularly on a beach and even more specifically with an enthralling someone (obviously, not said husband of recently ended marriage). But alas, no. I was completely engulfed by a chrysalis. Encapsulated. Still. Waiting. This time of inactivity is misleading for, in reality, the inward workings within the pupae are orchestrating the makings of the destined butterfly to come. Relinquishing an old life to embrace an entirely new life. Free. Unfettered. Transformed. Beautiful.

For me, the expression of my metamorphosis appeared just after the first of the year by way of my Facebook status updates. Here’s what bubbled up in those very first moments of my fresh new life:

There’s just no other way to say it simply: Life is good. (And those t-shirt peeps are definitely on to something…)

Today was the day I decided to change my beverage of choice at Starbucks. Now tipping back a decaf Americano.

Authenticity & aliveness are showing up in magical ways in my life. And it feels sooooo good.

Do you get TUT? Today was just too good not to share:
“Would you ever take a journey, if you knew
ahead of time that you’d become hopelessly
lost, have your heart broken into pieces, and
sometimes wish you’d never been born?

Now, how about if you knew ahead of time that
on that very same journey you’d also find
yourself, fall… passionately in love, and live
happily ever after?

Yeah, I know, you made the same choice a
long, long time ago.

Que bueno,
The Universe”

It’s just a little over a month now, but my new house is actually starting to feel like home…or should I say “Om”…it’s totally peaceful here!

Jenny Ferry wants to blow the lid off possibilities in ALL aspects of my life! Now…where to start…

Today’s shower musing: authentic communication, personal responsibility, and commitment make a sweet trifecta.

[In this case, the commitment is to myself and my personal growth…I seriously think this topic is grounds for an entirely separate post.]

Jenny Ferry is falling in love all over again…with my very own LIFE! Happy V-day everyone!!! ♥

Jenny Ferry is learning to *see* in the blind spots. Embracing what I didn’t know that I didn’t know. Shall we call it ‘expansion’?

I know it’s just a glimpse. But I really wanted to start somewhere. Anywhere. To be back here on this blog with you. And it feels so good to get this out!

What makes you come alive? What lights up your life and makes you feel the enormity of your humanity? Where do you live on the pinnacle? I’d love to know.
