Dad Passed Away

Jaena Moynihan — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:00:00 +0100

I originally posted this blog April 28, 2010. After a transition in my website hosting, it was lost. I was very upset as I had poured so much of my raw emotion into it. Fortunately, my boyfriends mother likes printing off copies of my blog so low and behold, she had a copy of this one! It's taken me several weeks to re-type it as I'm still moving through some intense levels of grief surrounding my fathers passing. But today was the day, so here it is:

Living Between

Jaena Moynihan — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:58:51 +0100

I have done relatively little-to-none updating on my website and social networking sites lately and I'd like to explain. I am currently living between Arizona and North Carolina as my father was diagnosed last September with advanced stomach cancer that had already moved into his bones by the time the doctors caught it. I decided to take what has become a series of extended stays in NC in order to help my parents through this difficult time. I'm spending anywhere from 2-6 weeks at a time in NRead More...

Mobile Blogging

Jaena Moynihan — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:24:58 +0100

I just figured out a way to blog from my phone; am I total nerd for getting such a thrill out of this? The answer is "yes" and I'm ok with that. Aside from my nerdy itch getting scratched, I really wanted to be able to blog from my phone because I get so much inspiration from everyday things. I like to write and take notes when I feel said inspiration but I usually don't get around to posting a lot of these thoughts in blog format as I always seem to get caught up in other things and end up forgRead More...

Australia 2009

Please check out my dedicated blog on my spiritual journey to Australia, September 2009.

Smokin' Diamonds

Jaena Moynihan — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:48:51 +0100

What a great morning! It started out fairly normal; sh*t, shower, and shave... you know, the usual. (Was that T.M.I.? oh, well!) Anyway, I have an app on my iPhone called "Quitter" and it tracks the days I've been smoke-free and the amount of money I've saved so far. I checked it this morning after my aforementioned routine and it told me that it's been 1 month and 1 day since my last cigarette and that I've saved nearly $200! First, the fact that I spent nearly $200 a month on cigarettes wasRead More...

Silly Epiphany

Jaena Moynihan — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:00:00 +0100

It never ceases to amaze me how I can find insight in the simplest of things. Recently, I decided that I needed to get a new cell phone case. I found the one I was looking for online and went to a few different stores to get it. None of the stores carried the color I wanted. For some reason, I got REALLY upset about that. It came down to purchasing a red case and I just wasn't happy about it. I didn'Read More...

The Spiritual Flu

Jaena Moynihan — Mon, 11 May 2009 18:00:00 +0100

We now have the pandemic of the ‘swine flu’ posted on all the news stations. I don’t think that it’s the only pandemic we are experiencing as a collective right now. I think many of us are suffering more so from what I’ve come to know as the ‘spiritual flu’. The spiritual flu erodes our sense of connection that we so need in order to feel and understand our part of All That Is. Life is a series of seemingly random and crazy evRead More...

Where's Jaena?

Jaena Moynihan — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:00:00 +0100

I just arrived in California and am visiting some friends before I go home to host family for the next month. I desperately needed to take a little "me time" before everyone gets to AZ.

I haven't written much lately and I've been getting emails asking for my newsletters and insights. So I want to apologize first to everyone who reads my writing and looks forward to new material. I've been so busy caught up in life's merry-go-round that I have forgot somRead More...

ThanksLiving 2008

Jaena Moynihan — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:00:00 +0100

I had a wonderful ThanksLiving this year. We didn't have a ton of friends or family over; it was just Keevin and I. You would have thought that we were feeding Pharoh's Army though! We like to call it ThanksLiving because we are both vegans who don't consume any animal products including dairy or eggs so all of our food is compassionate and cruelty-free. You may wonder what kind of enjoyable meal we could possibly have without those things but I assure you we never sacrifice flavoRead More...

The economy is falling! The economy is falling!

Jaena Moynihan — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:00:00 +0100

Do you remember the story of Chicken Little? A wolf threw a piece of wood with a star painted on it at Chicken Little's head and whispered through a fence that "the sky was falling". Chicken Little believed this voice that corroborated the evidence he was holding in his hand (or wing, as it were) and immediately went to tell all of his chicken friends that the sky was falling. They saw him holding the star-painted wood and believed that it was true, all but one that is. Turkey LRead More...

Jaena Likes It Raw!

Jaena Moynihan — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:00:00 +0100

Hi everyone! I'm embarking on a new culinary journey right now. I have decided to incorporate more raw living foods into my diet with the goal of being a raw vegan foodist. I'm not going 100% raw right now; I'm following a sensible light-to-heavy eating plan. I start the day with fresh fruit and vegetable juice that I make in my juicer, and then move on to fruit, then veggies, then nuts and seeds, and finally a wholesome cooked meal for dinner. My cooked meals usually involve steaRead More...

Our House (not in the middle of our street)

Jaena Moynihan — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100

My boyfriend Keevin and I just took a big step and bought a house together. We signed our docs and finally close on it today. I have written about some of my frustrations and lessons with the process in my upcoming newsletter. I'm heading off to Vegas this weekend to meet Allison and Joe and share in the celebration of their 15th Anniversary... congratulations guys!! I'm also very happy that I have a new house to celebrate too and am looking forward to a weekend of much needed R&RRead More...

Electronic Insight

Jaena Moynihan — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100

I have spent the whole weekend working on electronics; I've had to restore my computer system 3 times (once due to a mistake I made). I've had to cancel appointments due to the malfunctions, I've lost sleep, and my nerves are completely shot. And what is my reward going to be? My computers may have a few nicer features and a little more usability when it's done. Hardly seems worth the negative energy when I say it simply for what it is. I have frustratRead More...

Video Blogs

Jaena Moynihan — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:00:00 +0100

I began creating a new series of video blogs that I hope everyone will enjoy. Please feel free to comment if there are any topics you would like to see me talk about in upcoming videos. Thanks!

New York & Canada

Jaena Moynihan — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:00:00 +0100

I'm on a plane flying back from Buffalo, NY right now. There is a large man next to me snoring so loud that my iPod, turned up full blast, isn't blocking him out. Although the song in my ears says to "just call me angel of the morning", I can't seem to think there are many who would call the sounds coming out of this person 'angelic' on any morning! I've decided to make the most out of my inability to rest and write a blog.
