About Me & Whispering Wisdom

Mar 16, 2020 | Uncategorized | 7 comments

My intention and my vision are to make “Whispering Wisdom” a platform to gather a community and dive into various topics that will help promote transformation – one powerful word after another! Words are so, so powerful! Just think of the first word in my blog title, “Whispering” – it evokes a feeling of softness, gentleness. A person must be attuned to the gentleness of a whisper to receive the message. The second word of the blog title is “Wisdom”. Wisdom is experience, knowledge and is bountiful. It should be shared among those you trust – your community. Here enters, “Whispering Wisdom”.

About Me

I currently work as a mental health counselor and registered play therapist, and I absolutely love what I do. I work with kids, teens, adults, couples, families and groups. I am a co-owner of a private practice group, and I experience and learn something new daily. In my free time, I enjoy reading non-fiction, writing, and being creative – mostly through scrapbooking. I was raised in a Christian home on a small acreage in the Midwest and I reside just a few miles from where I grew up. I am blessed to have my large family all close together. My three sons are now all adults and venturing off and attempting to be independent, productive community members. My husband and I are getting used to the idea of being empty nesters – my husband, more than me!

I come to the table as a daughter, sister, mother, wife, aunt, teacher and counselor. I have worn many hats in the 40ish years I have been alive, and I have been given many opportunities to earn a little wisdom along the way. I say “earn” wisdom, because I believe we earn our wisdom through learning lessons as we go through life. One of my favorite sayings I heard from Oprah several years ago is, “when we know better, we do better”. I have made this one of my mantras, which has helped to promote growth versus self-criticism. I am so excited to begin this new journey – to open discussions, to teach, and to learn from those of you who will choose to follow and contribute to this blog!

Growing word by word,

Jackie

    It’s exciting that you’ve found a way to bless a larger audience. Gentle is such a great word for your work, because while our sessions just feeling like talking… my life has improved SO much while working with you.

    The first blog on my in-progress website is a summary of how just one of your suggestions affected me.

    Congratulations on your project!

    Congrats Jackie! One of the items in my bucket list is to have a blog about this area of Panama. Finding the time is a challenge. Don’t know if I’d ever do it but you rest assure I’ll live that dream through yours. Cheers ?!
