Hi, I'm Jennifer Hilton, and I started this site during a period of career transition in 2024. I wanted to share transformative career stories and life experiences. I also wanted to share stories of others who were striving toward a sense of “good” in this crazy world. I wrote a few blog posts, then I had to focus on a new job I had in 2025. A great job with some extraordinary women explorers, but funding ran out for 2026. Now I am at another new chapter, including being semi-retired, and I’d really like to focus on Write This Life. How will this all unfold? Who knows. Will the ball drop again? I can’t say for sure, but the ideas are swirling, and I’m putting it all into action. I’m going to just jump in from all the ADD—Attention Deficit Directions, and avoid the perfectionism, and need to know now anxieties that often keep me from getting started.

​

This site will be simple for now. My bio and the older blog posts. A project that I may pick up again on Black and White stories—it has its own tab if you're curious. I’m moving my writing over to Substack. Because? Well, another Why Not! There’s a strong literary community there for inspiration, and eventual opportunities for growth to monetize my writing and expand my audience—I hope. It would be great if you’d follow my journey and subscribe when you think it’s worth your investment. And please reach out with any feedback. I welcome opportunities to collaborate too.
