Hey!
Today has been a good day so far, you think? I can’t complain…the weather is phenomenal, all my windows are open and I found some of my books from home that I forgot I had packed hidden in the trunk of my car.
Also, unknowingly I did the HARDEST Dave Farmar yoga podcast. Buyer beware: it’s the 75 minute one from 4/5/09. I think I blogged about it back when I did it for the first time…and it killed me but then the next day I went back for round two and conquered it. It’s filled with dolphin poses, forearm planks and forearm stands…..trust me, you will feel the burn. I usually only do 60 minutes of this then call it a day.
lunch was…..
Hummus and cheese on sourdough bread with a pear and……..
Dude, this stuff is awesome. I keep swigging it straight from the container in the fridge. That’s the awesome part about living by yourself……YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!!
Dessert:
More writing this afternoon, a walk in the sunshine and a new women’s bible study tonight. Yay for new friends!

exciting news!
I love Amazing Grass, oh yes I do! I love it so much that I decided to partner with the company and take over their social media and brand advocacy. This really doesn’t have much to do with my personal blog but I just wanted to share! I believe in the product wholeheartedly and am excited to work with these guys. Love that grass!

New True/Slant article is finally up! Beans, beans, beans…..

Sounds like a great day!!!! Lunch looks yumz.
Enjoy your time with new friends. And yay for Amazing Grass! I love their bars!
How exciting! You are the perfect fit to do their social media
That is so cool! I have just been introduced to Amazing Grass and LOVE it!
Wow! That’s so cool – congrats!! And you are making me crave cheese…and hummus. Mmmm
Wow, congrats on the “Amazing Grass” job!! Amazing things are sure happening for you – no pun intended!
How exciting about the amazing grass gig – that is so perfect for you!
Wow, that yoga class sounds pretty close to the Vinyasa class I took today. I had never done the dolphin pose before. I think I’m going to have to practice that one.
Congrats on the new job!
how exciting jenna! I have just started on the amazing grass train and I am a true believer!
Love Amazing Grass — congrats on the partnership!
Congrats on partnering with AG, I too love their products!!
Congrats, that’s awesome for you!
Other awesome things about living by yourself: spilling the last few bites of ice cream (out of the carton, btw) on your shirt and not even having to bother to change it, because no one is going to see you anyway. Not good things about living by yourself: when the rent check comes due.
Sounds like a fun new gig!
My apartment, my rules!
Haha I love living by myself too
Exciting news indeed! You’re a perfect pick for an Amazing Grass ambassador!
You ARE quite the Amazing Grass gal, lol. Congrats!
i had that chocolate the first time i went to SF and fell in love!!!
I remember that podcast! I’ve repeated all of Dave’s classes multiple times, and I try and stay clear of anything around April. He was tougher than tough. I usually only do 60 minutes as well.
Enjoy the single, living on your own life. It is definitely something I’m looking forward to as I get older.:)
Congrats on the news! I hear you re living by yourself – it can be so freeing sometimes!
Congratulations!!
I’m glad they recognized how amazing you are!
I LOVE that cider! Oh my gosh it’s addicting. Trader Joe’s is wonderful, cheap, and everything is just awesome. Glad you’re enjoying yourself so much, and congrats on the Amazing Grass news!
I really see a huge difference in your words and ‘attitude’ (if that’s what you wanna call it
) since the turning point in your life, and I’m so happy for you! You just seem so bright and happy, and even when stressful situations arise, you take it, make the best out of it, and move on. Thank you for inspiring me to do the same. It really helps to read your blog and realize that balance and happiness in life is so achievable, despite all of the twists and turns.
Happy Wednesday!

That’s fantastic!! Love amazing grass, esp. the chocolate one!
I want to try that stuff SOOO bad, but I just can’t justify emptying out my wallet for it!
I usually read you through a reader… LOVE the new header. Looks fantastic.
I love TJ’s stuff…. all of it!
Congrats on the new gig. It suits you because you love the product.
In those podcasts do they describe the pose or just tell you to do them? I’m looking for a new way to do yoga but I don’t have time or money to go to the studio and my DVD’s are getting boring.
Sounds like a good day indeed! Congrats for the new job, it’s frustrating really not to be able to get the stuff I see on your blog over here. But hey, I can’t complain, I get to eat real baguette and I live in Belgium aka Home of Chocolate
where can i find that dave farmar podcast?
Holly,
On itunes!
mmm, sour dough is delicious! i need to make a brie, cranberry sauce, apple slice, and lettuce combo soon. that’s my fav way to enjoy the bread
Congrats on your new work with Amazing Grass! How exciting!
BTW, I love your sweater in that last pic!
Congrats Jenna! You deserve all of your success.
Congrats on the Amazing Grass stuff!! I love it too
I’m drinking some now as I type this!
Glad to hear you’re taking over social media for Amazing Grass. I love their products (took advantage of the coupon you offered a while back and now am hooked) but was disappointed to see that they don’t really update their twitter ever. I always tweet at them when I’m drinking an Amazing Grass smoothie or having Amazing Grass hot cocoa, though!
Jenna! That is such exciting news. Congrats! How is your ankle feeling? I hope better!
Hi Jenna! I rarely ever comment but I just had to after your last comment about Little Women! I LOVE that movie but never thought about the soundtrack and now I’ve been listening to it throughout the day today! Also, I am totally going to try making fresh beans b/c of your True/Slant article. So happy to hear you found a group of women to share life with and study God’s good Word. Hope to see a pic of your new pad sometime too!
Congrats Jenna…seems like you are finally feeling at home!
I made a roasted chicken tonight following close to your true slant recipe! It was easy and delicious! Thanks!
Congrats on the amazing grass gig!! You’ll have to link us to you work!
Wow. Congratulations, Jenna! I know you’ll have great fun doing social media for Amazing Grass!
I’m LOVING my grass – it makes SUCH a difference in how I feel. And… I’m giving away TWO containers right now – one is chocolate!! Eeeek!
Congrats on the amazing grass gig!!
Living alone has changed my life. All that little stuff (drinking out of the carton, keeping odd hours, dancing like a dork while cooking) really adds up for a serene living environment. Congrats on the Amazing Grass gig! I’m so happy to see all these awesome opportunities coming your way.
YAYA for Amazing Grass. i saw your cute picture on the website last week! what exactly are you going to be doing with them!
I absolutely love AG! i drink it daily!
That’s awesome that you are going to be working with the folks from Amazing Grass!
Healthy Eating,
Tasha
I would love to try Amazing Grass but it is SOOO expensive!
Yay! How exciting! I can’t imagine someone more fitting for that job!
You introduced me to Amazing Grass and now I literally drink it every day!
Sounds like a good day, indeed. And that yoga practice sounds KILLER!
Congrats lady, so exciting! That cider looks bombtastic!
Congrats on the new gig!
Please tell me how to drink amazing grass superfood with water and not feel sick to my stomach from the taste…how on earth do you do it?I tried plugging my nose etc…
many congrats on new gig….but how do you get the stuff down?And how do you feel about it being apowdered product vs a real food.Do you think people should drink it even if they find it tastes foul?
I am not being sarcastic-I truly value your opinion!
I am glad to hear your current job allows you to do marketing for other companies-that is awesome esp since it’s a full time position at the winery.I wish more companies would see that type of vision and support for talented employees such as yourself.Very positive news for all of us!!!
Gina,
I actually lIKE the taste of amazing grass……its an acquired taste. you have to get used to it. when i first started drinking it i couldn’t get it down without gagging and now I actually enjoy it! weird…i know. And, for the record, I work part time at the winery 3 days a week. the rest of the time I write!
Jenna- your positive energy and good sense of humor is contagious! Thanks for a great blog!
Congratulations on your partnership with Amazing Grass!! Mmm cider. I need to pick up some of that. haha
Congrats re Amazing Grass….I need to pick that up…I love Green. Also for the tip on TJ Cider. I NEVER go to Safeway but the other day was right there and slipped in grabbed some on sale cider and drank the entire thing and THEN read the label..”Splenda”…UGH Yuck! Never again.

Congrats on your new partnership with Amazing Grass!
Oh, congratulations! That’s very funny because just yesterday I wrote to them about something and mentioned that EatLiveRun.com was responsible for introducing me to their products. (Hey, I’ll just give myself a little credit, even though this was probably decided months ago
) They’re awesome and you’ve definitely helped spread the word for them!
Loooove Amazing Grass! Congrats. Today was absolutely gorgeous, like summer!
TJ’s is FAB. We just got one in Madison WI a couple months ago, and I don’t know what I did without it.
Congrats on the Amazing Grass gig! I’ve been reading your blog for a couple months now, and I don’t know anyone else who’d be better for this job.
yay congrats girl!
Just when I thought your life couldnt get any better…Amazing Grass??? So amazing!!!
Congrats,

Congrats on the new job!
Jenna or ANYONE:
how can i get more dave farmar podcasts than the 12 that show up for free? is there a place i can buy some or find more freebees? thanks!!
awesome! love grassyness as well… unfortunately my system does not take well to the pomagranate mango flavor amazing meal. I have had two servings of it….that it! Its a 2lb container! Got it from the site…anyone want it? would like to sell it for 40$or so…worth $80. Let me know.
Email me at: alanaerin22@gmail.com. I do not want to throw it away…want someone to enjoy it. 
Erin
Congrats! You’ll be GREAT at doing social media stuff for Amazing Grass!
Speaking of which…can you say a few words about why you like the product? I contemplated buying it the other day but didn’t see what benefit dried/powdered greens can really have. Maybe you can enlighten me a little. Thanks!
BTW re Amazing Meal—I used to use ‘Alive’ also a protein powder with superfood [green/veg/fruits] base. Would put it in OJ/w cut up fresh fruits/nuts/maybe a bit of yogurt for breakie…& felt like a million bucks…tons of energy, so did more exercise, then stopped going to Whole Foods, for TJs instead which doesn’t carry it. Since haven’t used don’t feel as energetic or look as healthy, makes a big dif in hair, skin, nails.
