Thank You, Next

Posted by jennifer gibson on Sunday, January 10, 2021, In : 2021

I think that I speak for a lot of people that 2020 was an incredibly challenging year, more so for those of us with disabilities. As a deaf person being taken to the ER twelve times in a single year, I learned very quickly that hospitals are not very accommodating to patients like me since I rely on lip-reading, observing facial expressions and body language. Due to COVID, that changed the way I could understand the paramedics and medical staff since masks covered their faces and muffled thei...

New beginnings

Posted by jennifer gibson on Friday, May 25, 2018, In : May 2018

It's amazing how a new home can make a world of a difference in my life. I recently moved to a place that I'm familiar with and ironically the same city that my mother and I grew up in. For some reason, it felt right to go back home. It's a fresh start for me, a safe place where I already feel comfortable living. I really do feel blessed being here and grateful for everything. Within days of moving, I obtained a freelance job which was a wonderful surprise. Perfect timing too, I can use the f...

New dawn

Posted by jennifer gibson on Thursday, December 14, 2017, In : december 2017

As I sit in the yellow chair, sipping on candy cane flavoured coffee, my eyes fall on to the large beam of sunlight on the lilac wall. It's projecting a shadow of a nearby tree. The branches shake and shimmer in the wind, dancing to a tune of it's own. It's moments like this that I cherish these days. Time seems to slow down momentarily, giving me a chance to catch my breath and watch the shadows stretch across the snowy landscape as the sun begins to set early in the afternoon.

Luna, my late...

New Life

Posted by jennifer gibson on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, In : April 2017

After the sudden death of my mother, the world I knew shifted overnight. While reeling from her loss and scrambling to deal with the mountain of paperwork and funeral arrangements, it hit me in terms of just how much of a loss it was. There was now a huge void in my life. Even though we lived independent lives and ran our own home based businesses, we found a way to balance everything by helping each other. She was able to do things that I couldn't and I was there to pitch in whenever she nee...

Psst! Wanna know a secret?

Posted by jennifer gibson on Monday, June 13, 2016, In : June 2016

I've been working super hard lately at designing book covers and decided to treat myself to brand new versions for all of my books. It will be officially announced later this week as they go live at online bookstores around the world. That's not all! We will also be having a special re-release event on June 18 and there will be prizes! Isn't that awesome?

Here's a special sneak preview of the new covers - I hope you like them!

Finding HOPE

Posted by jennifer gibson on Friday, April 29, 2016, In : April 2016

This week's theme is finding inspiration and hope. Today I saw a quote from Christopher Reeve that fit the bill perfectly. We live in a busy world and often we find ourselves feeling completely overwhelmed. Sometimes, that leads to neglecting time for ourselves, doing something kind to our heart and soul. We need to learn to set aside quiet moments of self reflection so that we can grow as a person, from the inside out.

It doesn't matter how you do it, whether it's going for a walk, meditatio...

Be strong

Posted by jennifer gibson on Monday, February 25, 2013,

Sometimes you got to stop and wonder what in the world Fate has in store for us. It can seem so strange at times. I know that it's inevitably meant to lead us towards another path that will open a door to new possibilities, perhaps through a chance meeting with someone who has the right connections.

It's like the movie, Six Degrees of Separation, where we all are somehow connected to someone that is higher up on the rung of the ladder in the society. Someone in this group will strike up a ...

Happy New Year!

Posted by jennifer gibson on Monday, January 9, 2012,

Can you believe it's already 2012?! Wow, time goes by really quickly!

For those of you following me, I'm currently working on my third novel - a continuation of Jessie's journey. This came as a complete surprise, I never expected to write past the first book, Sway. So, to be writing a third one is simply mind blowing!

There are lots of new twists, deeper revelations, and surprising changes in this one. It's a real page turner. And it's based on my life as a hard of hearing teenager - meanin...
