Hi there, welcome!
I'm so glad you're here.
How amazing is it that words can transport you anywhere, cause you to feel anything, awaken your senses and give you new vision?I love that words can nudge us forward and offer opportunities for growth, and that's what I'm hoping for with this little corner of the web. I'm offering a space for us to grow in perspective, in compassion, in awareness, in our relationships, and in our faith - nudge by nudge.
For my 'day' job, I'm a freelance writer in the nonprofit and healthcare sectors. You can find my work samples here.
Over here, we will remember we are human - complex and able to live and grow in the tension of joy and grief. We will look outward and inward and allow space for a mindset shift. We won't look away from the pain in this world; we will mourn the brokenness and injustice and look for ways to act and stand with those in pain as we grow to be better peacemakers. Here, we will also remember to look UP with eyes open for the good, the beautiful, the light. We won't forget the Giver of all good things and will watch for God's grace in our lives, celebrate it and hold out hope for others.
So as we start out together, here's a little about me!
I’m always somewhere in a book or two, notebooks and fun pens at my side. I’m an Islander (PEI!) living the Ontario life, married to my best friend and raising our three young children together. My favourite combo is the sound of ocean waves and the smell of salty air, though a close second is strong black coffee and the background sounds of a coffee shop. I may or may not overuse exclamation marks and the smiling emoji. :)
I get to the water's edge every chance I can get, enjoy sporadic running seasons, and love walking the forest trails with my family. I keep my eyes on the sky, awed at the variation and beauty God gives us. I share more of this over on Instagram where you can find me under @jannafrith.
When my babies were, well, babies, I blogged over at scribblesandnudgings to remember details as my brain turned to mush. But much of my professional experience has been rooted in the Healthcare sector, working toward bettering the health of a community and its individuals.
In the past few years, I have been grateful for opportunities to write for faith-based social media sites reaching readers around the globe. Most recently I've been contributing to a local non-profit's fundraising efforts by creating storytelling content and engaging copy for their website and social media posts.
When it comes to writing (and reading!), I love human interest pieces, storytelling, persuasive articles, and emotive speech writing.
My hope for this space is that, together, we can stretch and grow to better root for our communities, the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the health and wellbeing of those needing a hand up. I hope we can pause and see the humanity in one another and in those around the world. I hope we grow in courage to use our voices and privilege for justice and for bringing hope and light to a hurting world.
Thanks for stopping by...I hope you'll stick around and we can nudge forward together!
