#ShitGotReal: Oh harro, @BenParr

Oct 26

AHHHHH!! What a great great great morning. First off, thank you all SOOO much for the emails, comments, tweets and smoke signals. Greatly appreciated.

If you haven't heard yet in the twitter/blog-o-sphere Ben Parr formally announced our partnership on his blog today.

Kind of a big deal.

Incredibly. Incredibly. Incredibly humbling.

How did I meet Ben?

Technically speaking at CES in 2010, but when I crashed the Grammys to meet his boss, I really really really got his attention.

Ben is someone I respect. And I mean someone I really really really respect. When I got his card at CES, I framed it.

Then throughout my travels, there were two other people that I had the good fortune to meet and that I respected equally so I placed them in the same frame as Ben.

I am now in business with two of the three people. The third is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top however, who had the GREATEST CARD EVER!! It says "Friend of Eric Clapton"

Amazing on so many new levels.

So, that whole creation, and vision board thingie majiee - it totally works. But understand this, visualizing something is one thing, putting the hard work behind it is another.

I sleep for no more than 7 hours a night, and hustle this brand morning noon and night 17 hours a day, and we are now just shy of being 2 years old.

I don't need an award or a breast to pin it on - I GENUINELY LOVE what I am doing, and that is the only thing that keeps me going.

When you're following in your joy and bliss, you're a step ahead of the game because things just "click" and come more naturally to you.

This website is my thing; it's my baby; it's the reason why I am on this Earth.

Go find your thing!!! For me running a website made sense and felt good, so I did it! At the time it wasn't a big decision, I just threw myself at it and kept going because I had my heartbroken and was in a funk in life. Turning 25 and having finished high school 9 years earlier was not an easy pill to swallow. What was I doing with my liiffeeeeeee???

So that's me. I'm just Jen, and this site and the now new media production company makes my heart soar.

Go do cool shit! Follow your bliss! Trust - it pays off!!

Peace love and lollipops, and thank you for the kind words Ben.
