My Story
I am a writer. It took my a long time to admit that I am a writer. Jen is a native North Dakotan, growing up on a farm 14 miles south of New Salem.
Jen attended the University of Idaho, obtaining a bachelor's degree in environmental science. She also has a master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Today, she lives in Bismarck, ND with her husband, Bryan, their son, and their dog!
Her grandmother was a massive influence on her life. She was a beautiful writer...writing for herself, her family, her friends. When Jen was three years-old, her grandmother wrote a poem, To The Mailbox, about their daily walks to the mailbox.
When her grandmother passed, she knew she had to do two things:
- Share her gift.
- Share mine.
To The Mailbox is about a journey. It's about trying to overcome fear, judgement and limiting beliefs. It's about crashing into the authentic self. It is also an ode to love.
