You know first hand about healing herbs, don’t you dear friend.

God has given everything we need to heal right out in nature.

I can't imagine why. All of my friends taking statin medications are happily aware of the totally disclosed ASE of decreased cerebral function - NOT!

"Mom and Dad eventually were supportive! 💕"

No one said it was easy raising parents. Nice job.

Now tell me this, with you going Mach 7 with your feet on fire, a 'mexican jumping bean' Chihuahua chasing after you, how did a husband ever appear?

With all this going on, man must need roller blades just to keep up.

And with your constant energy level, no grass is likely to grow under your feet.

At least husband doesn't need a lawn mower. LOL

Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

What a gift we're all so fortunate to receive.

Thank you so much! Here's a funny one for you. Hubby is ADD too, and a world class runner with several world records, and he's a famous artist, much more so than I am, but important thing is we understand each other. Our house is sort of controlled chaos especially since we rescued the Chihuahua. But at least our walls have lots of art on them! ❤️💕

Hi, Heather! I've subscribed to your stack for a long time, and now see why you can't post more frequently; you're a busy girl! I appreciate your comments on others' pages though!

Thank you Curtis! Yes it takes a long time to paint those paintings! And to find and make all the memes for my posts. I have a few coming up though. 💕

Unfortunately, I'm somewhat art-challenged. What medium do you use for them?

Heather B's avatar

Mostly I use acrylic on canvas board, but sometimes oil on canvas.

What a fun spotlight, Jenna! 👍🏻👍🏻 And kudos to Heather for listening to her soul! ♥️

If we were to commission a piece, would there be a “Jenna Discount” for introducing us to you?

Expand full comment
Heather B's avatar

Thank you! My commissioned pieces are half what they would be if I put them in a gallery. (Because they take 50-60%) All the Etsy ones are half the gallery price too. Plus free shipping, and we crate it ourselves to make sure it arrives in one piece! Just DM me if interested. 💕

Heather is a treasure! I always love when she posts. In a world drowning in serious corruption and greed, it is delightful to meet others that keep things light and full of humor.

The side effects instantly made my mouth say......."Do Not Take if Allergic" it's my favorite. How the hell would you know you were allergic without taking it first?

Otherwise, it seems besides the many languages, many talents, and many mediums you are a grounded person with oodles of common sense, highly spirited and just an all around intelligent ball of fun! May you & your family always be blessed! It's nice to know you're on the Planet with me as it's a Great Time to be Alive . I know you'll do your part to make the transition time of Restoration Fun & Pleasing to the eye! Kudos & Cheers

Thank you so much! It is a great time to be alive, despite everything! I always laugh at the "Do not take if allergic" too...as well as the long list of "side" effects droning on which frequently includes death! So weird that they made that normal. ❤️💕

Heather, I’m an artist too and “swanning” over the awesome sense of light you get in your work. I love painting snow plein air. Keep on Rockin’ and inspiring others. Pleased to meet you!

Jenna, thank you so much for the spotlight! I wish we lived next door too! I would totally share my lasagna anytime! I seriously think it would be harder to get things done though, because we would be texting and laughing all day long. You are the best! ❤️💕

I'm mostly a lurker on several substacks (including Jenna's), but felt compelled to comment on your gorgeous artwork and your interesting life story! I also love Jenna's snarky posts! I too am a dark chocolate lover and a little Chihuahua also rules the roost at my house. Nice to "meet" you!
