This photo of me is very old, 1980's old. I think I was age 5. It was taken outside my dad's place of employment. I was wearing my favorite Garfield T-shirt that said, "Cats are just little people with fur and fangs." It is one of the photos I keep around to look at when I am being really hard on myself, to practice being nice to myself like I would this cute little kid if I had the chance to be nice to her today. My brain doesn't stop. It's not usually a joyride. My intent with this place is to write and unravel my half baked theories and maybe work to find some insights because I can't not write about it anymore. My name is Jessica Ehlers. Let's do this.

"A prophet once came to a city to convert its inhabitants At first the people listened to his sermons, but they gradually drifted away till there was not a single soul to hear the prophet when he spoke. One day a traveler said to him, 'Why do you go on preaching?' Said the prophet, “In the beginning I hoped to change these people. If I still shout it is only to prevent Them from changing me." - Anthony de Mello
