Sharing YOUR Jennarocity

I used to love to blog. Do people still blog? I feel so out of touch with social media these days. You get out of the game for a few months and the updates just pass you right by.
 
It's been a busy year, yes? Those who follow me on Facebook have seen the evolution my life has taken in the last year. I'm ending the year with the busiest month I've ever had in real estate, plus I opened a location for my business. I have to admit, I never thought saying yes to one thing could change my life in such an astounding way. Which reminds me - what have you said yes to today? Don't be afraid to say yes. I say yes way more often than I probably have time for, but you know what, it brings a lot of opportunities into my life. So, while people tell me to start saying no, I'll start saying, I can't right now, but what about next week? Lol.
 
The other funny thing is that who knew this blog title could have been the basis for the name of my business. When I changed my blog title from "Family of 5" (BORING!) to Sharing My Jennarocity, it completely encapsulated what I was meaning to get across in my blog. I wanted to share me, my family and my thoughts to the world. When I said, "JENNAROCITY!" I felt like I needed to say it with jazz hands and attitude. When I changed my blog title, and started sharing my posts on Facebook, people started calling me "Jennarocity." It was a perfect take on my name.
 
When I decided to use Jennarocity as my business name, it meant something else - generosity. I really felt strongly that we treated our clients and customers with generosity. It fit perfectly. When I order business cards, or tell people over the phone what my business is called, it never fells, I always get a "Great take on your name!' I think Jennarocity is just exactly what makes me, me. I use it as a verb, as a noun, as an adjective. What a great word, yes? And it will go great with my new next idea, the Jennarocity Foundation.....I mean, I have a few extra minutes in my day available, I can add one more log onto the fire, right? But I digress. That's to come later.
 
I'd like to think that one of my biggest strengths is how I make those around me feel about themselves and about the world around them. I like to think that when I leave the presence of another human being, whether it be my best friend or a total stranger, that I leave them feeling better about themselves, or their circumstances, or their day, than when we started. And that is what "Jennarocity" means to me - the ability to leave those feeling better than when you started.
 
So I ask you....How have your shared YOUR Jennarocity today? Wow. I'm seeing apparel ideas in my head....

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
