i am super tough all cozy in my hoodie at home.
I’m pretty confident when I rock the mic on my radio show (yes I use “rock” as a verb… I never claimed to be cool!) but I’m a complete bunch of jelly bellied nerves when I sing in front of people.
I’m super scared. I’m twitchy. I’m wobbly. I’m uncertain and yet it is ALL I want to do.
Felix Baumgartner took a giant leap from the edge of space today.
He says “Fear has become a friend of mine.”
I could NEVER EVER do a space jump or anything THAT scary but I can post this video from my singing lesson (with John McDaniel!) and let fear be my friend too.
What do you fear? Are you willing to confront that fear to live the life you REALLY want to live?
you sound amazing!!! and i really like your sweater 🙂
thanks! hi maggie! xo.
hi 🙂 im gonna email you soon! sorry i have been really busy!
as a voice major in college, i learned pretty quickly it wasn’t going to work because i couldn’t sing in front of people. i have to say i’m proud of you. you did a good job. i know how scary it can be. xo
p.s. love that song.
you NEED to sing again!!!! xo.
You sing to us all the time on the treadmill. I would have never known you were twitchy scared and wobbly.
different somehow. there were ppl in the room with me that day.. and i was singing with a piano- less horsing around than i do when on the treadmill at home i suppose…
I get it but please keep singing! We wouldn’t keep watching if we didn’t enjoy your singing.
I know it is difficult when you are afraid of what you love. I hope it gets easier for you.
OH and keep on singing!
UMMMMM…..A-MAZ-ING!!! BE-YOND!! CHILLS!! I knew I heard someone hitting the right notes this morning. You must keep singing Ms.Jenny!! Can’t wait to see where this takes you!! xoxo

In that pic with the ugly orange hoodie your lips are really showing the ravages of years of using injectible fillers….
Duckbilled platypus anyone?
But I’ve never had filler. I am just old I guess..however i have had Botox in my forehead. Love it.
I’m sure a lot of people can relate but I have the terrible fear of heights. I freeze, heart races, sweaty palms. Last Jan on vacation I did the trapeze. Not just the first day but the 4 days after that also, until I was able to put my knees over the bar and let go with my arms outstretched over me. And it didn’t get less terrifying by the day. Even today when I look at the pictures, my heart starts to race from the fear that I am so high up with total trust in the harness and the amazing and patient staff holding me up.
Bwahahahha! Nice to see you havent changed your self obsessed ways, Jennifer, erm “Jenny” that is…Can you not hear how piercing and strained your voice sounds??? It’s the Annie school of vocal influence that steered you wrong in the first place, then people have simply lied to you along the way and convinced you that you sounded halfway decent (newsflash: you dont)…
But NOW….now that you have become the “thin version” of yourself and stopped eating your emotions, you have also become hooker slut mom – I mean, seriously, WTF are you wearing??? Leggings with horizontal stripes (widening) and a top with shoulders cut out…why, exactly? Are your shoulders so enticing that they must be exposed??? You have kids, deal with reality and think of the example you are setting for them…would you want your daughter dressing in the same “desperate slutty style” that you do? Would you want your son to date a girl who dressed like that??? There comes a time when you need to say enough is enough and grow the eff up already, otherwise you are going to lose all credibility and exude a demeanor of pure self-oriented trashiness, very declasse, and beneath your pedigree…WTF are you thinking?
Well, I am short.
