BOOKS
In 2015, I participated in The 100 Day Project, which was a daily Instagram initiative launched by artist Elle Luna and the team at The Great Discontent. MY specific project was called 100 Days of Discussion and each day for 100 days I posted a discussion question to Instagram after posing the same question to the man in my life at the time. The concept was based on the questions I often used to pass the time on long road trips. Because each daily question was also posted to a public platform where those who listen to the Creating Your Own Path podcast hang out, I had the added benefit of getting to know my community far better than I could have imagined.
That’s where the magic happened. Since the project ended, people have reached out to share the ways in which they're still using the questions in their own lives. Some use the questions as writing prompts, others have pulled up the hashtag for their own road trip shenanigans, and I’ve even gotten word that some are using the questions to learn and teach English! So in 2017, I turned the project into a book as a way to get it off of Instagram and into the hands of those who might enjoy it. The first edition sold out in 2017 and the second edition sold out in 2020.

LOVE FOR THE ORIGINAL PROJECT:
"It's amazing the difference a bite-sized project can make in our lives! So often change feels like it has to be BIG, but little things can make a big impact. That is exactly what 100 Days of Discussion is: one little thing to do each day that can lead to deeper relationships, profound insights, or just a little novelty and fun. I can't wait to buy my copy, I'm IN."
- MEGAN GARCIA
"People who participate in 100 Day Projects either find them unsustainable or fall into a cult-like group that finds them life-changing. I fall into the latter, and my art, writing and creative work grew immensely after participating in The 100 Day Project in 2015 and 2016. What surprised me most was the camaraderie with others who were going through this project at the same time. Jennifer’s project was the perfect place to bring forth a conversation with our creative community for all types of people. I remember looking forward to the thought-provoking questions Jennifer asked each day. She a gifted conduit who can ask just the right question, at just the right time, and suddenly you've discovered something about yourself you never have known. For that I am grateful to have been one of the many who benefited from her amazing project!"

"I was interested in 100 Days of Discussion because, while we are always connecting online and through apps, it's always very passive. The project encouraged immediate action through reflection and it made it that much easier to spark conversation with others out in the offline world. I really feel that the more people start talking about the easy, day-to-day things that we'll get that much closer to listening and understanding the heavier topics."
