I debated whether or not to post this picture. It’s not the most flattering image and my ego is still intact. I may delete later, but for now it feels right. To look at my feed and see a happy photo next to this one, shows the true dynamic of grief.
Even though I don’t necessarily love crying, I look forward to RELEASING what I’m holding on to. What you don’t see in this photo is the results of my work...how centered and calm I feel immediately after, now that I’ve done my morning ritual.
Feel it to heal it. Every. Damn. Day.

This puzzle was my absolute favorite gift to give to my kids this year. I created it from a photo through .

One day, I was sitting on the floor with my daughter, working on the puzzle and chatting away about daddy.

We were able to find the pieces with each of our faces and clothing quite easily. But, the pieces of the background were surprisingly hard to connect together, even for an adult! 😜

I kept exclaiming “I can’t figure out these pieces!!”…pretending I was throwing a tantrum. My daughter would giggle, but really inside I was getting a bit frustrated and I was surprised at how hard the task was.

Finally, piece by piece, the puzzle came together in it’s full completion. It made sense eventually where every single part was to be placed. Some of them were on the wrong side of the image, others were facing the wrong direction and I was trying to fit them in the wrong place.

So often we look at our own lives and question HOW on earth to complete the “puzzle”. We wonder how we can make sense of the struggles we go through.

Sometimes we are just looking at the pieces with a finite view. Sometimes we are trying to fit them into the wrong part of the picture. Sometimes we lack the trust that it will all make sense and come out beautifully in the end.

The struggles in our lives can often look a lot like those blurry, green pieces. We know they fit in somewhere and have a PURPOSE, but WHY and HOW??

As we patiently work on our “puzzle” called life, and trust in the outcome, our vision becomes more clear, piece by piece. And someday we will look at our completed work with a smile, knowing that it was planned this way from the beginning.

The pieces were already laid out long before we started working on the puzzle. Our job is to just get to work and trust that we have all the pieces to fulfill our greatest masterpiece, our beautiful lives of purpose.

Before you judge this photo and say “Why is Jess tatting her body?!?!”...

I want you to think about what comes up in YOU when you observe this otherwise unusual thing for me to do.

Does it make you concerned for me? Does it bring up fear? Do you think to yourself “Jess has lost it after loosing her husband, poor thing”.

What if we don’t see the full purpose behind people’s actions and tend to judge the circumstance too quickly?

What if I told you that Nathan had a tattoo and I want one in remembrance of him?

What if I told you my tattoo has significant meaning for me?

What if a tattoo ISN’T a sign of rebellion or anger or hurt?

What if a tattoo is a sign of me healing and learning to release the judgement of others?

What if a tattoo is a sign of my life going in a positive direction?

What if some of the things we are conditioned to believe or fear are “wrong” are just the “fluff” or details that don’t ultimately matter in the grand scheme of things?

I loved Nathan’s tattoo. I loved that he was a solid, good man with the most amazing heart, and yet had some “edge” to him 💗. I love that he made choices FOR HIMSELF without fear of judgement from others and he created an wildly unique way of living for himself while honoring God.

My judgement of others and their life choices has drastically faded because of him and in light of cancer, death, grief and learning what matters most.

Today in church a sister gave the most BEAUTIFUL talk about loving everyone and releasing judgement around people’s decisions. I wish EVERYONE could’ve heard that talk....especially those who don’t go to church anymore. It was filled with TRUE compassion. It was directed to the members of the church in a loving way to let down their guard of fear about people’s lifestyle choices, to look to their hearts and extend love.

This is one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned this past year as I’ve mingled with friends of all walks of live...seeking out pure LOVE and connection and to build up those around me.

This tattoo is a temporary one, but I may be getting a permanent one soon. One with personal meaning to me. SWIPE—->>>

Would you believe that this widow is happy?? I may have moments of debilitating grief (and trust me I do), but those moments come and then they go.

The sun always shines again after a rainstorm.

The thought of my beautiful life and lessons learned with Nate lights me up. His energy (which still exists strongly) lights me up. Nate doesn’t want me in a pile on the floor. He wants me to kick ass and find true fulfillment.

Grieving may be a sign of love, but my true sign of love for Nate and honoring him is showing him I’m HAPPY. I’m improving myself, I’m growing, I’m laughing and I’m trusting in this whole experience called life.

My love for God, for my family for my late husband Nathan White just gets bigger and brighter and more profound with time. It’s teaching me how much my heart can expand and love even deeper in my life and with my next chapter.

The future is bright. I’ve never felt more myself than I do now. The mountainous trial of cancer and death cracked me wide open and created room for inspection of my heart, my dreams and what really matters most.

Happy New Year from the island of Oahu! I woke up early this morning and stepped foot on the sandy, surfer beach called Sunset. Today is our last day here...and the first day of 2021. At least the year ended on a high note!
What a journey 2020 has been. Navigating loss and grief, layered with a pandemic and social distancing. So many unknowns and life forcing us to take a look at our shadows. We could no longer hide from our dark and uncomfortable places in 2020. Could you feel that in your life? I sure as hell could. For me, this shadow work started a few years before 2020 as Nate and I traversed the struggle of life and death together.
I’m looking forward to a fresh new year, but apprehensive to let more time slip by me from my time with Nate.
All these shadows, these struggles, this hard work... what have we learned from them? They are our greatest teachers. Have we thought to thank our shadows? Thank our foes? Thank God for the hard times that are shaping us into the very thing he intends to make us become?

The art of healing comes in many forms, the tools and modalities may vary, but all true healing (even while using different means) comes directly from one source. It’s okay to have a variety and to branch out and learn new things. Meditation, burning sage, learning about chakras, using stones and many other things have been a big part of helping me clear my energy to get my soul aligned directly with the one true source of healing.

This isn’t the traditional way that I’ve been taught my whole life. As I learn more, I find that “Be STILL, and know that I am God” Or “Search, PONDER, and pray” is asking us to find the means by which we come to be STILL and to PONDER.

It is a learned skill set. We don’t just say to ourselves “I’m going to ponder” and then do nothing about it. We have to acquire the skills to get our mind into that place to ponder, to be still.

This is exactly what meditation and other similar modalities have been for me. They have helped me get in to a state of mind that helps me navigate all my s**t, all my pain, all my suffering. They bring light to the situation, understanding, truth.

As time marches on, I am finding an increasing amount of friends reaching out to me to ask me how I am healing from loosing my lover. They want to know where my strength comes from. They want to hear more from me and what I have experienced and how I’m navigating it and turning one of the most painful things I’ve ever gone through into something of a stepping stone to learn what God wants me to learn in order to become who I am meant to me, to fulfill my purpose in this life.

I want to know what your struggles are, and I want to know what questions you have for me. Message me. We’re here to help each other. May the journey of beautiful healing begin.

“Why is she posting a slightly sexy photo?...She must need attention.”

ORRR maybe she already feels good inside, and loves herself exactly how she is, all the intricate facets...quirks and all.

When were we taught that it’s not okay to express self-love, or post a photo that makes us feel beautiful? Double standard when all we hear is new-age wisdom about putting yourself first, and yet we can’t express our beauty without looking conceited.

Somehow we play small, thinking it’s “humble” to stay in the shadows and not show our POWER.

God CREATED you, you beautiful creature 💗. Playing small doesn’t magnify His glory.

I’ve lived most of my life living in the shadows of perception of worry if I’m “too outside the box” and trying to fit inside that range of normal. Guess what...my strange is beautiful. I’m choosing to live in that vibration of LOVE and accept myself...exactly how I am. When I accept myself in my power, others will too. And if they don’t, they’re not for me.

Come on ladies, stop playing small, let’s show them who’s boss, who’s beautiful and who already loves herself regardless of who loves her externally or what social norms say she should do, think or feel.

Your one year angelversary was Nov. 3rd.

It has come and gone without me writing a single thing simply because I couldn’t get myself to write about it...I don’t want to be reminded that I haven’t touched your skin, heard your boisterous laugh, been patted on the bum, teased relentlessly (oh how I wish you would just tease me again!), kissed your lips or snuggled up to your massively strong shoulders in over a YEAR. It physically hurts, makes my head spin and my soul drips with tears. It just isn't right, and it won’t ever be.

My other half, my soul’s companion, is in another realm and there is no way to describe how MY soul wants to catapult from my body to reach you.

Time is not real anymore to me. 1 year has felt both like an eternity, and yet I swear I just saw you yesterday.

I’m still in shock. I shake my head almost daily in disbelief. Just today my breath was taken away at the thought “My husband is dead”. It isn’t real.

You aren’t far from me, so it makes it even more unbelievable that you are not here physically.

You talk to me in my sleep. You protect the house at night. You show me signs daily, and some days HOURLY, to show you are around to love and support and continue to parent the kids with me.

But all this still isn’t enough. There is a huge void in our lives because your physical, emotional and spiritual presence was SO big and SO strong… you made such a big impact that the hole left behind is massive.
