From Proofing Dough to Proofreading

A Baker's Journey into Writing and Art

Hey there! I'm Jen Marie, a former professional baker who's traded in my rolling pin for a pen and paintbrush. Life has a funny way of kneading us into new shapes, doesn't it?

For over a decade, I poured my heart into creating the gorgeous tasty treats and managing bakeries. Now, I'm facing a new challenge: crafting words and images instead of pastries. As it turns out, the precision, timing, and adaptability I honed in the kitchen translate surprisingly well to the worlds of writing and painting.

In this space, I'll be sharing my journey as I navigate this significant life change. Expect a mix of writing insights, artistic adventures, and honest reflections on the ups and downs of transformation. Whether you're here for the writing tips, painting progress, or to connect with someone else going through major life shifts, welcome!

So grab a cup of coffee (and maybe a croissant), and let's explore this new chapter together. After all, life, like a good sourdough or a well-composed painting, is all about the process - sometimes messy, often challenging, but always an opportunity for growth.

Stay tuned for more stories, both written and painted. Don't be shy - drop a comment and say hi! I'd love to hear about your own experiences with change and creativity.

Here's to new beginnings, well-proofed words, and colorful canvases - even when the journey isn't always smooth.
