Live BIG! Session with Jennifer
In 2015, my flight from Paris to Johannesburg made an unscheduled 24-hour layover in Cairo, which turned into an impromptu trip to see the pyramids and the Sphinx.

Who am I ?
I am a 40-something (well, 47, who's shy about age?) running a freelance editing business. I've been very successful as a writer, copyeditor and book reviewer and have traveled around the world. These successes have come pretty recently, but like you, I have dreamed BIG since I was a little girl. Let me take you back to the 1970s, where I grew up. We were treated (well, I found it a treat!) to blizzards and nor'easters practically every year. I played in the snow with my brother and sister until dark, making huge snow forts, throwing snowballs and trudging around in the white stuff bundled in our puffy suits. This is where my dream of living in Iceland percolated. At that age, I couldn't locate the island nation on a map, but I knew Iceland was a magical home of snow and cold and I wanted to transport myself to this far off land. |
 I follow my innermost compass to happiness, and you can too.
Fast-forward 37 years. I took a sabbatical from my university teaching job and created a special research project that would take me to... Iceland! In 2012, I lived in the capital city Reykjavik for six weeks studying freedom of the press, interviewing newspaper reporters and TV and radio broadcasters.
Because it was the off-season of January and February, I capitalized on a reduced rate at a hostel right in town. On top of that, I had open access to museums and restaurants that are typically packed in summer with lines out the doors. The Icelandic people welcomed me with open arms and I fulfilled a lifelong dream. What's extraordinary is that I have fulfilled a dozen of my lifelong dreams, things I have wished for, hoped for and dreamed about. |
Since I was a little girl, I dreamed of Iceland. I made it to Reykjavik 37 years later!
I lived in the south of France as a student learning French, another lifelong goal.

Some Live BIG! moments in my life:

I lived in South Africa in 2015 working as a reporter. I visited journalism students in Pretoria too.
Why Hang Out With Me?
Now that you've learned about my childhood dreams, you want to know more, right? Like what do I do when I'm not chasing butterflies or daydreaming on the bus?
Here's the job interview stuff. I know it's not that formal of an engagement (you can show up in sweats) but yet, it is. You're paying for access to me, my strategies, my advice and more than 25 years of education and knowledge. So you want to know who you're working with.
Back in the day (around 2000) you could see me on TV reporting for CNN. That job came after years as a radio reporter in upstate NY and a stint as a writer at the Associated Press in Albany, NY. With 15 years in mainstream media, bopping between AOL, TimeWarner, Gannett and McClatchy, I had the opportunity to report from the White House on the Clinton healthcare plan (yes that long ago), write about personal finance while reporting from Wall Street. As an international correspondent for Reporters Without Borders, I've reported from France and covered the Paris terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in 2015.

My travels have taken me to Ketchikan, Alaska where I worked a summer at a fish factory canning salmon, living in the south of France attending university and learning French, working in Morocco as an ESL teacher at an American language school.
The boring, and impressive stuff, is that I earned my master's degree at 35 after contemplating going back to school. It was a great decision! As a lifelong learner, I love taking courses and have earned the TEFL international accreditation to teach English as a Second Language.
Can you tell I love to travel? I have lived in several major cities including Washington, DC, Paris, Reykjavik and New York. Today, I split my time between New York City in winter and Bellingham, Washington state in summer.
I will share with you how I have traveled internationally, on an adjunct professor's salary.

I don't tout a special technique or invite you to drink a secret punch. I followed my dreams by continuing to believe in myself and listening to my inner compass -- the tick tick tick that informs me when I'm happy.
Today, in our session, I share with you the motivation, the mindset and the practical steps I adopt to help me reach my achievements. My hope is that you will take even one small kernel away from our session and get yourself on the path to reaching your BIG dreams. I’m sure we don’t share the same exact dreams. That’s what makes each of us unique. But if any of my milestones resonates with you, then let’s talk! By the end of the session, I expect that you will be inspired to reach your lifelong dreams. Join me today to get inspired and to reach YOUR lifelong dreams. |
