My Morning Workout
This is my journey of creating a daily writing habit. I write minimum 500 words per day. If I am not blogging, then I am doing a homework assignment, work deliverable or submitting a proposal. Come hell or high water, I make sure to write 500 words per day! I am...
Old and Young Bonds
It’s a Sunday afternoon and right now my kids are in the living room playing kitchen and baby dolls with their Great Grandma Ruth. I don’t have any work to do, but I am in the office, so they have time to play their game without being interrupted. I can hear them...

Spirit Animals and Signs
I believe in signs from the universe. Whenever I have a question, am weighing an important decision, or an nervous about an outcome, I ask the universe for a sign. There are lots of books you can read about this practice, but truthfully, it’s a very simple exercise. I...
Big Career Change
Last year I made a huge career change, and it has honestly been my very best and proudest moment. I went from a successful and challenging career in corporate into entrepreneurship. It was a huge leap, and it wasn’t something I took lightly. In fact, I had my plan for...
Introduction and Mission
Hi, I’m Jennifer Vollbrecht. I am going to start posting short articles to practice my writing skills during my Doctoral Program. My goal is to write 500+ words per day and work myself up to 1000+ per day. The expectation is that when it’s time to write my...
