Weddings, Weeding, & Wonderings
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged friends, life, love, marriage, weddings, weeding on June 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This is the year. The year when all my friends are getting engaged, married, having kids, moving to new cities, starting new jobs, starting new lives. This is the year when a lot of things change. Two weekends ago, I was in the wedding of one of my best friends. I hadn’t yet met her [...]
Engaging with your supporters
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged community, dialogue, family, friends, nonprofit, relationships, supporters on June 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In my job, we’re always thinking about how to serve our constituents, our supporters, our donors, our followers, and fans, partners, and champions. That means we frequently “engage with our supporters” which means wonky non-profit type stuff like “creating a dialogue,” “providing a platform for community-building,” “raising awareness,” and “reporting back.” We tell our people [...]
The only way to learn
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged burn, decisions, friends, learning, mistakes on May 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
At one point or another in our lives, we’ve been told that it’s okay to make mistakes, okay to fail, to screw up. The catch is that we are meant to learn from the mistakes, pick ourselves up after failures, and find a new path — now that we know what to do differently. And [...]
This is a test

Just when you think you have it all figured out, it hits you upside the head: It’s not just my boyfriend that’s worried about the future – it’s me, too. Me, who I thought was ready for the next big thing, ready to say all my fears were behind me, ready to move forward. And [...]
When it feels like it should be Friday
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged career, happy hour, job, work on April 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Who here walks into the office on some Monday mornings and wishes it were Friday already? (Raised hand) And who no longer thinks happy hours are only for Thursdays and Fridays but should be arranged earlier and more frequently as soon as the sun starts shining on a regular basis? (other hand raised) No matter [...]
How to get what we really want
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged choices, decisions, life, planning on April 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
We are constantly being presented by choices, some clearer than others. Some will affect us for about five minutes, like which flavor of ice cream to get, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Others leave a lasting impact, like moving, getting married, having kids or getting a dog, or starting a new job. [...]
Making the big elephant in the room smaller
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged apologies, breakthrough, elephant, family, talking on April 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
There are always the conversations that we know we should have, but don’t want to. Usually it’s because we’re afraid of hurting someone, or getting hurt ourselves. Even the people who never shy away from a challenge or a confrontation or an opportunity to speak the truth can find it hard to avoid the 500 [...]
100 posts, thousands left unwritten
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 100 posts, blogging, experiences, lessons learned, reflections, writing on March 28, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Tonight I’m writing my 100th blog post on jennasauber.com. Back when I began this blog in November of 2007, I wasn’t sure if this site was going to be mostly for my published work as a professional calling card, if it was going to be my online journal, or a combination of both. I wasn’t [...]
Springing forward
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged change, daylight savings time, grow, race, running, spring on March 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Spring. A time of newly budding flowers, their colors and scent bringing life back into our dreary, gray worlds. Scores of people taking extra long lunch breaks outside, walking their dogs, hand in hand with their lover, playing with their kids, or reading a book and lazing away on the cool grass under the sun.
