Welcome to My Little Garden ~ Jenny ~

“I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after all”

Who am I? In technical terms, a mother, daughter, sister, niece, friend, employee. But that was a Virgo 1.0 description. Too afraid to tell people who I was, to let them inside, so let’s just be quick and to the point, no one cares anyway. Really? Well then you wouldn’t be reading this page, and if you’re taking the effort to come here, then you deserve a little more of my heart than that. So here it is laid out 2.0 style:

I am a mommy – a strong, resilient, single mom who works full-time from a home office and just put herself through college; I just graduated with a 4.0 in the Masters of Psychology program. Yeah, I’m pretty damn proud and I’m no longer afraid to acknowledge that. It’s not selfish or conceited. That was no easy task, and add on the role of zD Director of Virgos the last 6 months, and you’ve got yourself one exhausted—but enlightened—Virgo here. And by the way, I loved every minute of it, stress included. I thrive on challenges. Bring it.

I have two incredibly beautiful children who amaze me with their inner beauty, appreciation for life and strength through the adversity of a pretty non-existent father. I get my energy and passion from watching them every day, and they inspire me to stay the new person I have become—the one I am actually falling in love with, and that’s never happened before. I am embracing my inner child and finding each time I do that, my relationship with them strengthens. There is no greater gift in the world than having two little human beings say “I love you mommy, I think you are the most amazing person in the entire world.” (That's the 6-yr-old Gemini; the 3-yr-old Libran version – “aw mommy, you’re the best!”) LOL

I have an outstandingly supportive family who helped me through a heartbreaking divorce (well aren’t they all really? As far as I know, at the altar we usually don’t say until death do us part and think hmm, I wonder when we’ll celebrate our divorce?) I moved from a depressed, sheltered life in Pennsylvania, with no family, no friends, no love…to the most incredible life back in my home of Long Island, New York, and I have found my path, renewed my family ties and rekindled old friendships. I am creating new, quality friendships and have set sail on the most amazing adventure called life. It took Saturn – the most beautiful planet of all to me now – to wake me up to my heart’s desires.

I have a great job that I have been at for almost 13 years, a family company who has been supportive through my marriage, children, transition to working from home, and divorce. They are like family to me, and though there have been ups and downs, I have learned so much from that experience, and continue to every day. I am in marketing and communications right now, and although I have no intention of leaving any time soon, the passion has died a little bit, and I have found the calling to become a healer. I have also forgotten how much I love to write, and have recently been reminded that I have the gift of words to heal and express myself, so you might be seeing more of me around here ;)

I have come to understand the importance of friendship, and how that one text, email or phone call really DOES make the difference. It really isn’t how often you see someone, it’s the behind the scenes connection and thoughtfulness that makes a friendship what it is. I learned who my friends were – and who they weren’t – and I learned a very difficult lesson about myself: the type of friend and family member that I wasn’t to others. That has all changed, and I will never be that girl again.


I AM SO BLESSED. I received forgiveness, unconditional love, and support. I found strength, wisdom and gratitude over the last two years that I have never known before. I am so incredibly grateful for my divorce, it has opened up so many doors of opportunities for me and my children, and we live a life of love, happiness, and adventure. I will never look back in regret. How can I when what I am left with from the experience is so much richer and fulfilling than I could ever have possibly imagined? It was no coincidence my husband’s mistress’ name was Angel, because she was an angel sent straight from Heaven to remove him from my life, and I see that so clearly now. And it was no coincidence that an old high school friend named Angelo was the one who guided me here. Fate is a divinely beautiful thing.

And it doesn’t stop there. I am on my way to my dreams, and it feels fantastic. My life has never been the same since finding Soulgarden. Christopher and the rest of this loving community showed me how to heal myself, to trust my intuition and to fight back against adversity through acceptance. These people have touched my heart and my life in ways I never imagined, and I am forever changed. Some incredible friends outside of here also inspired me on my new path, and supported my new direction, and I am so lucky to call them my soul friends. So who I am now?

Jenny 2.0 is smart, sassy and silly. I can hold my own in almost any conversation (except politics, snooze..) and am one of the most dedicted, loyal, productive worker bees you'll ever meet. I can make something out of nothing, and I can be quite persuasive in writing. I am known to be quick-witted and sarcastic, and yes, I am very prone to open mouth, insert foot syndrome, but oh well! I smile and move on. No one's perfect ;) I am as honest as they come, and full of integrity...you will never find me in jail for perjury; you will find me in jail for saying way too much when I wasn't asked. LOL I have a positive energy, I stare sorrow and challenges right in the face, and I can can shed light in even the most serious of situations. I don't stay down for long. When I actually allow myself to let go (it takes a while to warm up, and sometimes a few shots haha), there's no holding my inner child back.

I am all of this, and more. I am concentrating on my career path, as well as embarking on a new journey that involves actually taking care of myself. Imagine that! I’m going to start serving ME and my needs first. And by doing so, I can serve others better. I am not afraid of love anymore. I am not afraid to open my heart, to take chances, to receive it and to believe I deserve it. I will never be taken advantage of, emotionally abused or cheated on ever again…I am not the same person I was three years ago. Thankfully, I found ME. And I am so excited to share me with someone special and deserving, and to have an amazing journey together. I have complete faith and trust in love, and am not shattered by my past relationships; they have helped me to become who I am today and to understand what I want in a partner. Key word: partner; not someone I need to carry through life. This 28 degree Venus in Leo is waiting for her Prince Charming – he exists, and I will find him. :) When the time is right.

I now have an active, rewarding social life (who knew?), and enjoy going out with friends and just living in the moment. I cannot imagine my past life as a hermit any more. I travel more and introduce my kids to new experiences. I want them to have the childhood I never did—not that mine was horrible, but it was way too serious. I have broken down my close mindedness and tried new foods, places, hobbies and forced myself into situations that challenged my comfort zone and have found those were the most fun and rewarding. I have a bucket list, and I love crossing things off one by one! I stand up for myself, I look at the positive side of every situation and I believe that I manifest my own reality, and am learning to follow my intuition better. I have recently learned that I am clairsentient, clairaudient and clairsalient, and I am excited about figuring out how to use these talents for the greater good. Life is AMAZING.

I find my peace in nature. I have always been drawn to the beach, digging my feet into the earth, watching the waves crash against the sand and looking out upon the horizon in the distant while breezes blow through my hair. It has always grounded me, and whenever I need to clear my head and find answers, I head to the beach. I also love just sitting outside at night and gazing up at the stars, listening to the sounds of the crickets, and feeling the peacefulness of the evening. Coming into closer contact with nature has helped me to go within and find myself and the "answers". I have come to truly appreciate the beauty of the flowers, trees, earth, water...everything around me.

But what I have learned most throughout the entire experience is that I am a soul healer through and through. The quintessential Virgo. I can read your emotions, feel your feelings, analyze them and then cut right to the chase and show you the path to positivity and light. What you see is what you get with me. If you don’t want the truth, then don’t ask me, plain and simple. I can be compassionate, supportive and very loving—but I won’t be enabling. I have truly opened up my heart only recently, and have found my capacity for love is absolutely astounding, not just for giving – which I never had a problem with – but now I am receiving, and it makes my giving so much more powerful and meaningful.

I just finished my program in psychology, and I’m in training as a life coach—within the next six months I will be practicing what I am terming as “soul coaching” – it’s being practiced out there now, but I plan on bringing a unique blend of life coaching, positive psychology, astrology and dream analysis to help people realize their dreams, pull their weeds and plant beautiful gardens. I believe in Soulgarden and its mission, and will be here to help carry it out and spread the loving word to the entire world. I am going to help change the world alongside a beautiful group of lightworkers. It’s a tall order, but for anyone who knows me, I’ll do it…quickly, efficiently, creatively and passionately. I’m not quite sure what that all means just yet, and I don’t have a definite plan, but I am going to be completely anti-Virgo about it and let the Universe guide me…and let my Leo Rising have some fun for a change. So stay tuned…

pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.” – Indigo Girls
