Rejection doesn't have to suck.
A mantra from the Archives
Big thanks to my mom and dad for holding the line, Chris for wound support, Peggy for Venmo❤️, Vickie, Belén, and Melvin for pet help, Dalton for the ring-a-dings, chatters for chatting, and the multitude of other wonderful people who have supported the most recent surgery journey😊
Now, let’s get to it! I love this one! It’s a saying that can be used for all kinds of different things. And the perfect cord cutter when I am giving someone or something more energy than they deserve:)
Soon,
Jenni
PS: Hilarity ensued as I just read the last lines of this archive post- they reference poop! Who knew???

Boy I got a great reminder of this last week. STUCK was not accepted into SXSW which was not a surprise but it was a disappointment. When I found out that SWSX had been cancelled within a week of its start date I thought, “Whew! We dodged a bullet there!”.
If we had been accepted we would have already raised and spent thousands of unrefundable dollars on promo materials, publicist fees, red carpet clothes, travel expenses, etc etc etc. I would have, of course, found a way to spin the whole thing into some publicity and worked it into something useful, but it still would have been pretty darn disappointing and expensive.
So there it is- - a great example of rejection is protection. Any time I start feeling rejected, victim- y or down, I think maybe there’s a higher reason for this. I mean why not? No reason to feel poopy if you don’t have to!
Lots of hugs!
