Ode to Faux Friends

Posted on by

Greetings fellow people of hot vax summer of ’21. I have been holding onto this for quite sometime. Welcome to this moment of truth!

  • Not having the luxury of a second set of eyes that cared enough to chime in
  • Not having the luxury of feedback, reviews, likes or shares around my work from ANY PERSON that I know or thought I had a rapport with
  • And also, not having the luxury of anyone I am acquainted with, READ MY BOOKS (not that I am aware of anyway, now that I’m not front & center in the restaurant business)

HAS SHOWN ME… one: I have managed to dissolve, disengage & basically shed every single relationship I ever had, to the point where absolutely no one in this world feels they have any allegiance to me what-so-ever (that’s an odd position) two: it’s not over til it’s over, I’m definitely not quitting now, three: sooner or later the Universe will reach me through complete strangers. Thank God for small favors.

Apparently, good deeds & good constructive criticism only come from random people I don’t know, in my case. And, after asking for feedback from literally HUNDREDS of people I do know or am somewhat acquainted with… I got nothing. Radio silence, except for ONE review from my ex boyfriend’s mom, who appears to be my #1 fan. Turns out, I don’t have friends… or family or what you would call a “support system.” Because if I did, I would at least have a handful of reviews without having to chase people or hunt them down. Right?

That said, for lack of any evidence to the contrary, I am going to have to rely on strangers from now on. However, don’t be surprised if I start to reach out personally to you or anyone I think can still rate or review my books in good faith.

All the time! THIS>>>

I celebrate everyone’s posts, photos, families, breakthroughs, big moves, pregnancies, babies, kids, new relationships, engagements, weddings, announcements, anniversaries, trips, vacations, graduations, special days, & landmark moments.

Well… THIS IS MINE, people, in case you haven’t noticed. I never got to have any of the typical aforementioned things really, & I am okay with that, but for god’s sake. It’s a little disheartening to say the least. I may not require validation from others, but just because a person is evolved, secure & loves themselves, doesn’t mean they can’t call a spade. Whatever happened to support from the community or neighborly wisdom? It only takes a minute to leave a rating or review or a comment.

That said, thanks to a dude from a zoom room in a webinar I was attending on optimizing Amazon books sales, did I even NOTICE my COVERS, were completely subpar. Like, way below a level of excellence. So obviously in fact, that I was in shock I didn’t even notice all this time. 

Turns out, judging a book by its cover is 100% en vogue. People absolutely DO… go off first impressions. Your teeth, the kind of shoes you wear, car you drive, or how unkempt your bathroom, bed or kitchen might be. Let’s not sugarcoat. Covers MATTER. Big time. Not like in an extreme superficial way, but in a way that only makes sense.

The meat, the flavor, the content of character, the mind, the soul… yes. But, there is an unmistakeable alluring intrigue to what encases them. The essence of the within should be represented without with a certain degree of delicate equivalence. After all… the face, body, package, casing or cover, is what engages us first. It is what draws us in, speaks to our feels & advertises the goods. “We do indeed, eat with our eyes.” Said every good chef I ever worked with.

All this time I have managed to not be the slightest bit privy to certain really important details. It’s kinda embarrassing & almost seems like a big fat cruel joke that I have been in the dark all this time. And it’s no one’s fault per se… it was just not the right time. But, for the record… the content of character that these books exemplify deserves a casing that matches… 10-fold. Better late than never, I guess.

I suspect I have been somewhat consumed (ya think?) & rather distracted by all the extreme focus it takes to build a worthy enterprise. Writing, editing, publishing, recording, marketing, creating content, a channel, website & podcast, attending classes, modules, workshops & webinars, doing consciousness upgrades, energy activations, & clearing the karmic cache… is no small feat.

Well, cheers to my success then, that had been pretty much pending all this time due to this major discrepincy & a few other superficial wounds. Maybe NOW, it has a fighting chance. One can only hope…

Kudos to THIS GUY>>> https://geoffaffleck.com/amazon

Cheers! To DIYers everywhere!

All FIVE books now have curb appeal. Each one has been optimized inside & out, updated, renovated & re-released to: rock—your—world. Yes, YOU.

Continue on to 60 seconds more of reading, a 99 second book trailer, then tap on my Amazon Author Page to witness the power of curb appeal.

With all that said, I don’t just write books, I write revolutionary game changers that can potentially change lives for the better in a monumental way. I believe there is a great need for the poignant perspective that my books provide… or else, I would be a fool to put forth so much time & effort towards something potentially irrelevant. I would be a fool to believe in something potentially futile or fruitless. I would be a fool to promote something that possibly contained the ramblings of a self-absorbed, unenlightened, dull & uninteresting played-out perspective. 

I would be a sitting duck for “dud-dom,” where all vanity projects go to die. Where the relics of every single thing done in vain, lie in a final resting place of never going anywhere or reaching anyone. The failed projects graveyard, if you will. I would be chasing some kind of pipedream that was never a real possibility in the first place. I’d be the poster child for dumbass.

Well… that’s simply not the case here. I didn’t compose books out of thin air, for my simple satisfaction, to fill up some void writhing with neediness, to prove I am worthy of some semblance of some sort of success to show up the naysayers, to exonerate my inner child or to escape from some mundane lonely life I miscreated.

No. I channeled the books from a Divine force, the same one that created you, me, the earth, sea & sky. I have been at this for quite some time, like since I was a kid. I do what I love & love what I do at this point. It’s passion & purpose that drives my plight. My WHY is to liberate the human community one book at a time, (and to also live worry free with a few extra cats for the rest of my life in the island beach bungalow with my name on the deed… so I can host killer weekend retreats). This isn’t a hobby or side gig. This is my life’s work.

I may indeed not have a support system, a family that gives a hoot, a couple of really great kids I raised that folks praise me for, or a team behind me working hard to make this happen. I may indeed be singlehandedly pouncing to new heights all by myself. But, I have a bunch of spirit guides & Angels guiding me through all this. These books weren’t written for any other reason than to serve mankind to the fullest extent of cosmic law. All who are meant to receive the unique & valuable bountiful blessings they bring… may you come forth now & tap below. And leave some godamn reviews, thanks. Namaste. 🙂

ALL FIVE books have been reborn to meet the standard of excellence they were meant for & that YOU deserve… to have proudly displayed on your coffee table, counter, shelf, or desk. Don’t delay. Access below.

Montessori Moves: New Earth Style

Posted on by

Back in the late nineties, I had a job once as a teacher’s aide at a daycare center in Northeast Philly. I was 23 & my 19-year-old partner in crime coworker & I used to meet up early every day right before work to burn a joint down in her car out back in the alley. Afterward, we would frolic like besties into the place, all pie-eyed & giggly, clock in & proceed to basically play with a bunch of 2 to 6-year-olds for 5 hours. It was a ball, let me tell you. But then, it only took a few weeks for me to see what was really going on beneath it all.

I began to notice that the teachers were not high like us... they were STONED… off of something way stronger than weed. They were on Xannies, Percs, & Vicodins. And instead of the narcotics making these pre-school teachers more chill, they made them intolerant & impatient & they screamed & yelled at the children in a really abrasive way. They crossed the line by pulling at shirts, squeezing arms & shoving them into their seats. It was not pleasant behavior to witness. And for those of you who know my story, that definitely was a true trigger for me, especially back in my early 20s. There was no way I was gonna continue to stand by & let that kind of child abuse happen on my watch.

Not to mention, these teachers were clearly jaded, had no real passion for the job, & were not happy campers, to say it lightly. I attempted to have a concerned chat or two with them, but they all seemed to be in a teacher bitch-click of sorts that my friend & I were not welcome in. We were only menial aides that made 6 dollars an hour, after all. All the while, to top it all off, every toy in the entire daycare facility was grimy, dirty, germy & never cleaned, even though I & my friend attempted to do so. It was a double whammy of toxicity, between the teachers & toys. No wonder why these kids were always sniveling, whiny & sick.

To make a long story short, I wrote a long detailed letter to the administration on behalf of what I intently thought was right. And I had two things said to me after she read it & called me into her office. One, “you belong in Montessori school,” & two, “we are gonna have to let you go.” Well, one… I had no idea what a Montessori school was, & literally had to look it up in an actual dictionary cause it was like 1997. Two, that day… they ripped me from all those little precious relationships I had, up to & including my cool ass little hippie chic weed-mate. The kids cried, I cried, it was awful. And that was it. Game over.

The Montessori method of education is an educational method developed by Italian physician Maria Montessori. Emphasizing independence, it views children as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a sufficiently supportive and well-prepared learning environment. A Montessori education develops students who are capable, accountable, knowledgeable people who have the strong sense of self they will need to thrive in the real world.

Well, no one will ever send me home sobbing again, with my heart in my hand & my dignity all wrinkled up in a ball in my pocket. I plan to be heard & promoted to CEO this time around. I am retiring the “Undercover Boss” role. I will be dropping the word undercover, so I can just be BOSS. I didn’t write a letter this time, I wrote TWO BOOKS. I have created a fight song, for not only our children, but for our planet, the animals & our very souls.

December 21, 2020 was a very special winter solstice. It was a landmark event in the time-space continuum that will go down in history. It was the mark of the end of “The Dark Ages” of man. In Sanskrit, it is called the Kali Yuga: the age of conflict. We have been in a string of dark ages for quite some time. On 12.21.20, humanity officially birthed the Age of Aquarius. In Sanskrit, it is called Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga, which is the age of truth, virtue and righteousness. The Ancient Atlantean ones lived in this age long ago, & now we have come full circle. Let us rejoice… for finally, humanity has come to this beautiful dawning of the ages.

Want to know more? My two new books cover EVERYTHING. These are two books you don’t want to miss…

“Live a soul-inspired life” is not just a trendy bumper sticker.

Thanks for reading.

Who She Is: a little background

Posted on by
About the Author

My name is Jenay (JZapp), I was born in the hurricane season circa 1974, which makes perfect sense, because I certainly do like ta shake shit up. I am a writer. I write & write & write, that’s what I do. I came out of the womb with a fat lip from fighting off the earthlings tryin’ to pull me out onto this godforsaken land. No doubt I was snapping gum (if a toothless baby could snap gum), sporting a green sun visor, brandishing a pen & white legal pad, making lists & taking notes. It was September 18th, which was the five year anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix, bell-bottoms were en vogue, Eric Clapton’s cover of “I Shot the Sheriff” just hit the Billboard top 100, & it was fondly the era of the sexual revolution, better known as “Free Love.”

I knew how to write before I could talk or walk if that makes any sense. If writing was a faucet of running gold…. I would be the Queen of England, Egypt, and 12 other great empires. I would live in a golden castle with a golden cat & eat golden cucumbers. Diamond chips would be shooting out of my fingertips. Writing is what I do best. It’s how I live. It’s what I know. It’s timeless. It’s healing. It’s cathartic. It releases unwanted emotions. It exonerates. It liberates. It validates. It vindicates. It provides resolutions, answers, clues, closure, knowledge, information, wisdom, comic relief & enlightenment. I NOW HAVE THREE published books available on Amazon.com.

I am most definitely a wordsmith. Frankly, I have way too much fun with words, I can’t resist. I have some serious spunk & there’s no denyin’ my audacious attitude. I am my own brand of freelance writer & reporter of current, relevant, buzzworthy topics. I write colorful articles, create moods, stir things up, am brutally honest & have no apologies, & if ya don’t like me, oh well.

I’d like to think that my writing style is a blended firestorm of bursting color, & a healthy trail mix of Saturday Night Live, Sarah Silverman, Marisa Peer, Esther Hicks, Bob Marley, Bono, Kathy Lee & Hoda, Jimmy Fallon & a tiny sweet little dash of the Royal Renegade of radio… Dr. Michael Savage. I am a melting pot of many influential people. You don’t have to agree with me. I don’t have to always be right. I will say it how I see it, anyway.
I am a poet. I claim poetic license to the max, in or out of rhyme. I am an Artist of Word Art. What I write is deliberate. The English language is a “living” language that is still evolving. It’s not Latin. “Proper” grammar or sentence structure, etcetera, etcetera… may or may not apply here, thereof. So those of you who either may be nitpickers or English majors, put on some sunglasses, put your feet up, & flip on some tunes, cause nobody’s countin’ commas at this party.

If you read through my blog (Tap FOLLOW!)… you will find that I am a bit of a diplomat, pleasantly patriotic and am quite an ambassador for female empowerment and principles. I’m also a tried & true Culinary Grad, a foodie for sure, & recently embarked upon a Vegan lifestyle, so I feature plenty of nutrient-rich intel. As a “recovered addict,” reformed Catholic, abuse & rape survivor, I am a significant advocate for addicts, those in recovery, victims of abuse, animal rights, anyone ready to embrace their power & improve the quality of their life. I wear a hero helmet most days that reads: “power to the people” on the front, and “justice” on the back. I believe in equality, respect, unity, peace, & the eternal Divine force of Universal Law.

Furthermore, I am an Empath. This means I have the gift of clairsentience which loosely translated, means: “clear sensing.” And thus, I have a supersonic capacity to feel, sense energy & experience everything in detailed technicolor. Empathic souls absorb more than non-empathic people. We typically have a deeper understanding of life… & not by choice. We are born sensitives. I literally feel the pain of a wine-soaked drowning fruit fly. It gets even more amplified when I’m high… lol. Look out! She’s a philosopher!

This hyper-developed sensory perception has given me the ability to channel intel from higher dimensions, & over years of continued contact, I have become fluent in these transmissions via writing. In addition, empaths are the arch nemesis of narcissists… which is probably why I tend to have a bone to pick (more like 5 or 10) with any kind of controlling, egocentric, self- serving, dictatorial non-diplomacy.

What I stand for is non-denominational, non-affiliated, nonpartisan & all-inclusive. I am an amplifier of goodness & Light. It could be said that I am a proactive agent for the greater good. I espouse positive thinking. I consider myself a leader in the Conscious Revolution, a Light Guide/Life Coach/Spiritual advisor all rolled into the cool girl next door. Thanx for reading!
Namaste
