UPDATE: Tiers of Joy

UPDATE: March 9, 2023 I've had more time to pray on it and really listen to God, and I've decided that I am not going to close Jenuine Enterprises as a whole. Instead, I am going to restructure it a bit. That being said, I am still closing the edible creations division of the business as well as customized or personalized crafts. Inventory specific to those divisions of my company will be liquidated. I am working through the new structure of the business as we speak, and I am very excited about how it is shaping up. When I have more details, I will share them. In the meantime, I have some backend work to do and a website refresh. Stay tuned! —Jen

The results are in...

After months, numerous tests, no definite answers and continued symptoms, we have reached a (loose) conclusion on my health situation. What we know is that back on August 2, my body was fighting a bad infection. My white blood cell count was extremely high. Doctors are fairly certain this infection damaged nerves in my parasympathetic nervous system - the system that controls unconscious body functions like breathing, digestion, blood pressure, etc. What we don’t know is what the infection was or where it originated. We are confident that the infection is gone as my white blood cell count is finally back to normal. The symptoms, while some are still present, have slowly started to subside. Doctors cannot give me an exact timeline of how long these could last since it can take some time for nerves to heal. So, my job is to give my body the best environment possible to heal. I am ready to close this chapter of 2019 and start a new, healthier chapter in 2020.

Otis: An answered prayer

This past Friday, October 15, I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed over lunch when a post on one of the dog mom pages I follow caught my eye. It was a rehoming post for this little boy: Otis, a 1-year-old teddy bear (Shih Tzu/Bichon mix). Now, this was a type of post I had seen before, but there was something about this one that stopped me in my tracks. I just knew in my heart we had to help. I called Dan over to take a look. He had a similar reaction, which told me we were being called to do this. Even though we already had three fur babies, we were drawn to Otis. We had to know more. We had to meet him. The post specified that they wanted Otis to go to a home where he'd be the king of the house or the only pet. That didn't stop me from reaching out. I wrote from my heart and asked that they consider us even though we did not meet the criteria set forth. Imagine my excitement when I heard back from the owner! We both poured out our hearts and knew this was worth a shot
