Adventure (and why it’s best together)

By Jessica Leave a Comment

I have been traveling for the past couple of weeks, and I just wrapped up six days in Portland, OR for my second World Domination Summit. I have a post about the event that’s mostly written up… but like all truly good things, it needs some time to simmer before I post it up. So […]

Stranded (or: going with the flow when you’ve got no other choice)

By Jessica Leave a Comment

For the past several days, I’ve had the Aerosmith song “Amazing” stuck in my head. Well, to clarify, I’ve had a single line of the song stuck, which has resulted in the rest of the song bouncing around inside my skull. Life’s a journey, not a destination – and I can’t tell just what tomorrow […]

Bookworm! (or: recapturing a lost love)

By Jessica Leave a Comment

Confession: I used to be a huge bookworm. I taught myself to read when I was young. (Before you give me too much credit, my parents read to me every night from the time I was a baby, and I know that I picked up a lot of my reading comprehension from that activity.) If […]

Labels (and why I’m cutting mine out)

By Jessica Leave a Comment

Labels. They’re the reason clothing companies created “tagless tees” – because tags chafe and itch, and otherwise drive you batty.

Kicking Fear in the Face (and telling it to hit the road)

By Jessica Leave a Comment

Have you ever been paralyzed by fear? Not just nervous about the outcome of something big, but really truly stuck in place, unable to move because you are so terrified? I have to admit that I have been fortunate enough to have never experienced anything truly traumatic in my life. Yes, I’ve been scared plenty […]

An Alliance of Awesome (or: Peeps – they’re not just for Easter)

By Jessica Leave a Comment

I spent the past two weekends surrounded by world-changers. Two weekends ago, it was four 12-hour days in Washington DC with the WeArePowerShift.org leadership team. This past weekend was three 12-to-16 hour days in Minneapolis MN with the 350.org National Leadership Summit. I’ll admit it – I’m exhausted. I’m drowning in work, overcommitted and maybe […]
