“We work in the dark — we do what we can — we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.” —Henry James, The Middle Years
Yes, Jenny, do what you must to earn twice as much in half the time, with ease and joy, while serving the highest good! We Doh-nuts will still be here.
Thank you John! Your support here has been such powerful, positive fuel in my life and work . . . it's what I'll miss most during this pause! Looking forward to staying in touch via all the other channels Substack offers — please keep me posted on your big, bountiful goals of language learning and classics-reading (and beyond) in 2026 too!
Jenny, may Booked & Bountiful manifest with abundance 💖
I’m truly excited you will be pivoting to free time and business basics—I’m tracking. And I uplift you as you openly live this giant mystery of life! 🍩❤️
Thank you so much Pegge!! You are the best, and your support and love and light all these years means the absolute world to me — more than words can express :) I saw that you're already registered for the community call, thank you!! Can't wait to see you there/then :D ❤️🙏✨
Thank you so much Jenn!! And LOL re: the alliteration . . . sometimes I just can't help myself 😆 I am so thrilled for you and the journal-planners, Michael is already using his and I can't wait to dive in!! And help spread the good word :D What a masterpiece collection you have created!!!
Thank you so much Jessica!! I was so delighted to randomly discover your new book (!!!) and podcast (!!!) over the holidays — cannot wait to dive into both ASAP!! Leaving the Casino is *such* a perfect title, and I loved your podcast jam with Amelia — hearing how much of your hard-won expertise is packed into every chapter :D
you *might* just find yourself thanked in the acknowledgments of the book... I'd mail you a physical copy but as someone moving myself, I know what it means to have to process physical things.
Really?! That's amazing, thank you so much 🥹 And omg, packing and moving is all-consuming!!! I *so* get it . . . sending all my best thoughts your way as you navigate the move — here's to new books and new beginnings! 🎉
Ahhh, I love the distinction! Rolling in dough, doh, and everything inbetween :) Here's to an abundant, expansive, magical year for you too! I love that you start your new year in the Spring :D Always going your own way, so inspiring!
Best wishes Jennie. Been following you since before the Pivot Book - have several of the 2018/2019 era podcasts saved and still re-listen. Will continue following.
Thank you so much Kim, and wow!! That means the world to me that you've been here since even before the Pivot days, what an honor!! I am so grateful for you reading, listening, and understanding 😌🙏
Makes sense. Question, I have a methodology I have been developing for the last few years. It has been tested with hundreds of small businesses, and I am looking to scale it up. Is this something you can talk about in 1:1? Or is it beyond the scope of what you are willing to talk about?
Thank you Russell! It's been such a joy to get to know you better via the Substack wild west 🤪 And yes, absolutely re: discussing scaling your methodology! If you want to book a strategy session for that, this is the best link: https://calendly.com/jennyblake/strategy-session (Or if that's out of budget/scope for now, just shoot me an email and we can explore alternative ways to jam: jenny@itsfreetime.com)
