Ten year challenge.

Ten years ago, I thought for sure my path was laid out for me. Marriage, children, political parties, an elite DC life. What a difference a decade makes. {swipe ↔️}

2009 Jennie was still learning. She had no idea what heartache, struggle, loneliness, and rebirth awaited her. One never does. And she was wearing the costume of who she thought she wanted and needed to be to find love and acceptance.

Thankfully, 2019 Jennie is badass, booked and busy living the life she was meant to live, wearing the grace the Lord gave her with confidence, self-compassion, and gratitude.

And I’ll take my single, childless, art galas, NYC-nobody life over anything I may have lost by taking off that mask. Because the happiness, joy, and purpose I feel today was not possible in the life I had written for myself then.

What a difference a decade makes. 😉 #thepullofgrace
