I’m Hosting a House Show July 5th. And You Should Come.
I remember being on a summer porch in Portugal five years ago and listening to Trevor play me his first songs. It was midnight and we were drinking tea. I would be most honored if you joined us on the evening of July 5th to drink tea (and perhaps some red wine) and enjoy the […]

What Would I Want? Sky.
“LET us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherised upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent […]

Frederick Buechner on Vocation
“It comes from the Latin vocare, to call, and means the work a man is called to by God. There are all different kinds of voices calling you to all different kinds of work, and the problem is to find out which is the voice of God rather than of Society, say, or the Superego, […]

Inverno
It is finally 50 degrees and rainy in Los Angeles today. It is our variation of January. And all of the misty fog and damp greys remind me of winters in Portugal where we’d all huddle near an electric heater with mugs of tea, waiting it out together. The pause that winter brings–when you actually […]

Stretch Out Your Arms to Rest; or, a Prayer Advance + Brewery Tour
Maybe it’s the New Year, maybe it’s the weather, maybe it was the sacredness of hearing Justin and Danielle say their homemade vows to each other last weekend, but everything in me said it is time to have an intentional pause in my life. This weekend I booked a night at a nice bed & […]

Oh bikes
It’s been a little over 2 months since my bike was stolen and I’m missing it. On days like today when the sun is a perfect, my legs just want to ride up into the hills beyond the Rose Bowl and breathe. (Fact: I was made for sunny days.) The week the Trek disappeared from the […]

Newness
Sometimes all you need to do is rearrange your room. Or move into a new one. You just need an old lamp that reminds you of the many homes you’ve had. And then you clear a space where you’ll sit and talk to God. And then not move from that space. Sometimes all you need […]

Turning
It’s about time I gave this blog a new name and turn it around some. Everything feels very new for me, these days. Changing this little baby seems right. [ photo by Hey There Spaceman ]

Streams for Friday | Wells, Praise Goh
I used to make it a semi-discipline to write out a “stream” of thought every Sunday. It is Friday. I felt I needed one today. There is more lingering in the back of my mind than I realize. I’ll tell you something. I do not wish to be one who attends memorial services and then […]

Yes, I Keep Starting New Blogs, Bear with me dear “Hello Said” Readers
I’ve been living my life all over the web in the last year, particularly with new clients in my Digital Communications biz. This mean I’ve been (deeply, horrendously) neglecting “Hello Said Jenelle.” You know this. I know this. If it’s any consolation, you can keep up with my favorite news of the moment here: http://jenelle.pulsememe.com/ (It […]
