It feels wrong to share this one:

I intentionally posted in Spanish on FB a while back to confuse people who were mad about the Superbowl, but my point was completely missed because Meta translated it and everyone just saw me speaking English. 🙄 Whoops!
I’m lost tonight. I have so much to share & it all feels futile. My audience and I haven’t found each other. My supporters & I haven’t found each other. 45 years is a long time to feel useless. But my sister sent me this today, so I guess I’m supposed to take it to heart:
youtu.be/TbEMIw3ecGI?...
Elevate. 💛
I’ve also learned to always try to have or give myself SOMETHING to look forward to — something reasonable and realistic but also happy and good — to propel myself toward. I’m not diagnosing myself but I’m finally figuring out what works for me, & I identify w/ this issue.
Oh dear! 😆
The -why- is usually the most motivating thing for me. If it makes sense, if I have a good reason to do something, I’m far more likely to just do it. My brain says “ok” !
I became horrible at math bc no one could explain WHY these rules applied & it stopped making any sense. Gibberish!
This is written by a “bc I said so” mother. And mine never DID get me to stop asking “why?”
I think I’m a better person for asking why.
OMG how close-minded. She says making indirect requests teaches children that say “no” that an adult will modify their behavior. That’s not at all what’s meant to happen. It’s to give a new mental perspective on why something should be done. To make it an easier request that ultimately gets results.
I left Insta, Threads, tried to leave FB multiple times but was pulled back by loved ones, quit X & started deleting posts but it was futile. Returned to Insta & FB to promote business & writing. Now I’m morally obligated to leave Substack? How does an unknown writer/entrepreneur survive this world?
Picture of a library with a couch and old TV and superimposed words: Greenroom Reverie - I see your lady parts, part 1.1, I have them too.
Why name a book after your b( )( )bs? Especially if you’re not really a Canadian? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I See Your Lady Parts

Everyone says, “I have too much stuff!” But I have all the small items inventory (furniture is stored elsewhere) from my home decor & gift boutique in my home office. -I- have too much stuff. Please follow me on Whatnot & buy it! And PLEASE introduce yourself in the chat! whatnot.com/invite/jenma...
One day soon there’s going to be an entire generation that says to each other,
“Why did our moms put all our books on the shelves backwards?”
Me
When I was a kid, I wanted to be 40. The perfect age. Today, I’m 45.
I guess I’ll shoot for 60-65 now. The new next level of sexy.
I'm trying to read this book. The book isn't the problem. I am.

Intro - I wasn’t really looking. You were just there. open.substack.com/pub/greenroo...
We have to stop letting “smart” devices help us. Google/Google Home just cited Facebook and when I specifically told it another website to reference it said, “I’m sorry. I don’t understand.” I’ll look up the answer myself. Thanks no thanks.
Brenda Blethyn is just too adorable for words. Have you seen Undertaking Betty? Saving Grace? She spins the wrong way in both that movie and Pride and Prejudice. Watch for that in her work. 😄

Oh, baby. I am sitting pretty in the middle of it all. Thank you, fam!
I can buy myself flowers, make chicken noodle myself, sleep on the couch for hours, nurse myself back to health….
It snowed on top of the snow today. I don’t find below freezing temperatures or snow to be invigorating anymore. It’s survival mode. It’s using extra gas to keep the car warm, shoveling & sweeping, being stuck inside, no deliveries. It’s totally draining. My friend sent me her own sentiment:
I’m so glad I didn’t pressure myself with some super ambitious 2026 resolutions on 1/1 cause this snow would have made me crash and burn. But now it’s time to slowly, gently start my gradual plan to do better. 💕
This just can’t be true. Just no. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I will not accept this. No.
I did not know Dame Judi Dench is related to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern but now knowing makes me wonder how prominent our ancestral memories really are and how much they affect our lives without us knowing. 🤔🧐🤨

Something I really love about soup is that the more times you reheat it the better it seems to get. Not all things in life are like this, but some are.
The movie Groundhog Day is on so often that sometimes I wonder if it’s Groundhog Day….
It amazes me that tv characters just get up & get dressed in the morning - hair, makeup, jewelry, undergarments - no matter what’s going on. They’re always ready to spontaneously answer the door or go out. Is this how most real ppl are, too? This is a serious question.

How are we supposed to know if these unidentified ppl aren’t trafficking humans to the next Epstein Island? A person just needs an ICE costume & a gun to kidnap people in broad daylight. Anyone could get those in this country. Assume anyone w/out ID &/or warrants isn’t legit. Call the legit police.
Pardon my language and derogatory use of a beautiful anatomical part, but a person’s gotta be a real pussy to be a grown person who considers a small child to be an enemy worth taking vengeance on. Nazis did the same thing.
