About Me

I have an awesome family, great animals and a cool plot of land on which I can rest! I am very honored to be a musician. I love to write songs and record. I'm happy to have a great band that will have me sing for them! I've been singing for The Dave Reinhardt Group for 2 and-a-half years, and still having a blast!!! I also live for the weekends when I can have time for my husband and awesome family! I am a vegetarian, struggling with becoming vegan- Love the cheese!!! I work as a RN in a large hospital right now, but I'm hoping to gravitate more toward the holistic variety of healing.

You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You? ..

My Interests

I love traveling... I guess I need to do it more. I am so fortunate to play with musicians I admire. I am involved in an original project right now, as well as the ongoing gig singing for the Dave Reinhardt Group. I also enjoy doing things for homeless and abused animals- like taking them in!!! I love having coffee in the morning (especially when it's made by Alvaro), I'm not so into the life and death scenarios that my job offers me on a daily basis, but I can handle a couple of days a week. I'd like to get out of that and just play/write music. Preferably with my sweetie- inseparable like Paul & Linda!!! I also love hanging out with my extended family. I'm wanting to get back into yoga since my new home is perfect for it.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet all the cool people!!!! I'd love to have tea with the Dalai Lama. I want to meet the peaceful, happy folks, and especially the ones who play music!!!..!
You Will Be a Cool Parent
You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant! Would You Be a Cool Parent?

Summer's End

Well, here I am at the end of my summer and, amazingly the beginning of my 37th year. I have to say it's been less than uneventful. My life has changed pretty profoundly in the last 4 months. I can ho...

Xanadu

This summer, I have realized that I have come to the end of a 7 year cycle. I have been very nostalgic, listening to the music of my childhood. Fun for me, but just confirms the dorkiness that's been ...

The Best Things

I think the feelings we get from moments in our lives are the fuel that keeps us alive. For instance, when I sing with my band, it's the highlight of my week. I can't think of any better reward for wo...

Jen's songwriting

Well, for explanation's sake, I feel I must spew about the direction I am moving musically. I started out at 10-11 learning basic guitar, learning song forms for the latest country pop hits (hey I'm f...
