Health Care

Health Care is about the Human factor of every living person in the world. It is not about money, politics, circumstance, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian or otherwise. It is about being able to get care from a Doctor who took an oath to help you. It should not bankrupt you, should not determine where you have to work to get it, should not cost more for one person than another, should not separate you and I from them and they & most of all it should be EQUAL for all of us. Now that Utopia does not exist yet, but imagine if it did. Would I be working for a Company that provides my health care because I CANNOT get it otherwise? I don't know. I have NEVER HAD a choice. I HAVE been denied, I have LOST my job because premiums were too high and I have seen more than I could ever make in a lifetime be billed but NOT paid my my Insurance provider. We need to keep in mind that Health Care is about care, the Insurance Business is just that. The Insurance industry is booming, millions of dollars on a dice roll that you won't use it. They don't bet on those who need it, that is the deny box. Let's keep an open mind about the changes ahead and remember that people have lost their lives not having Health Care , let's not be angry and hateful, let's be open to change good or bad, staying the same is not the Country I want to live in.

Say What

Most of my life I have always been known as the girl who say's what everyone else is always thinking. I have never understood the art of the game or wanted to waste time on trying to play it. I am at the core real. I know my strengths & weaknesses, I don't pretend and I most of all I fight for what I always believe is right. I have learned to weed out some players, learned to allow myself to be wrong about people and most of all understand that I can change that at anytime. I am on no one's life path but my own. My family will be alongside always and what needs to be done for me only represents me. Perception is NOT everything but only the reflection of those who perceive it to be different, and I am not responsible for that. I can take pride in showing weakness, celebrate faults, cry without fear, laugh about mistakes and learn to be a better me everyday. I am not limited by my career, not defined by circumstance and my dreams are no less than any other human being alive or passed. That by saying what I can really say why I am who I am.

Raising my Miss

Everyday I learn something about the little girl I was. I know it's the plan to meet yourself when you have a child & boy have I. She has some of the best qualities I have @ 38 all packaged up neatly @ 4. She is self assured, compassionate, mindful, confident and will always tell you the truth. It's hard as her Mom to box that in at such a young age, but I feel it's necessary. Those qualities are her strengths but @ 4 she does not need to understand the power behind them. The thing that I most want her to get is that she has to be number one in her life. It's the big lesson for all of us. You cannot give what you don't have. That means you cannot live your life for your family, your job, your husband/partner or anything other than you. I am trying to show my Miss that by following my passion for music & singing that all else in my life balances out. I can have a job, be a wife, mother and most of all be Jen, maybe you might say it's a little selfish, but in order to fill up all the glasses in my life, mine has to be full.

Is yours?

Rules I Follow

As Women/Girl you need to have a plan, this always has been mine.


IF Alone
Wherever you are, BE there
Listen to what surrounds you
Look Near and Far
Head up High and Straight
Let your Body be purposeful, it speaks the loudest
Stay off your phone
Take your ear buds out
Don't carry too much stuff
Be willing to drop everything
Trust your instincts
If it does not feel right DON'T WORRY ABOUT BEING WRONG


If approached
Speak loudly
Make eye contact
Mentally paint the picture & store it
Yell like you know you can
Prepare to leave theirs or your DNA

& NEVER....NEVER NEVER let anyone take you to a 2nd location.

Chelsea King, Rest In Peace
