Hi gen, I am re-reading this post (as I have a few times already ) and I am so grateful for your wisdom, kindness and forethought on what we can do when times are difficult. I teach drama and I have been introducing affirmations into my lessons. I love teaching drama & theatre, and I would like to thank you again gen for reminding me that I have a social platform through my teaching. To mentor, guide and instil in their learning that everything should begin with 'What am I grateful for.......?' This is how I start my mornings now with my five minute journal. I am grateful for you gen and what I am learning from you all the way from England ?@nowandgen

Hey Gen, I’m new to your blog but believe there’s a reason I found it…this post. I’m going to be 40 in about a month and am in the midst of a some of the worst conflict and stress I’ve ever dealt with, but because I’ve chosen to change my perspective and focus on the good, I’m experiencing more joy and love than ever before. I’ve chosen to take a dark situation and find the light – the light in myself and those around me. We all have choices and choosing to be grateful and find the happiness in our every day moments is so important. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post and I look forward to reading more.

What a beautiful incentive just show up. I love how it takes the pressure off yourselves to be supermen/ women and embrace fear allowing you to connect with the moment you are in and say this is ok I can do this as best I can just by being here my face forward not below me

Your comment is frankly disgusting. This entire article is written about being kind and understanding other people’s situations. Gen, this amazing woman wrote this to help people, not to have hateful people be unkind and rude. You can have your opinion, but I am speaking up for Jared and Gen who work hard every day to better theme selves and other people. I hope eventually her words can help you see their family in a better light.

Beautifully and graciously said. I love all your posts, but I think this is my favorite post to date. Such a powerful reminder to look past the darkness and challenges, while acknowledging the difficulty in doing so, and the active choice it requires. I have found that cultivating gratitude leads directly to joy, regardless of my circumstances. Thank you for calling us to a lifestyle of gratitude, and thank you for sharing your life with us so honestly.

Also FYI, that’s why Jared goes home every weekend -not including convention weekends- that’s why Gen occasionally goes to conventions with him, more specifically the ones in Europe. That’s why they went on vacation in Hawaii last month as a family. That’s why the Supernatural cast and crew get holidays and summer off. It’s not like she never sees Jared, and never spends time with him. That’s bull, and you know it! He works, but they make time for each other. It’s none of your damn business anyway. So take your hate elseware. Gen gets more than enough of this crap as it is.

WTF????? It was JARED’S a decision for them to live in Austin. Not hers. JARED’S!!!!! If you really loved her, you wouldn’t make such a rude, disgusting and judgmental comment. Jared has a JOB in another country. It’s not her fault. Don’t you fucking DARE blame her. This is so so so so so messed up! Why you have such a big issue with her living in Austin while he’s working, makes zero sense to me.
