A few weeks ago I posted I was going to take a road trip and meet some of you fine people who have been my family for, what, four years now? Then God whispered, “Since you are going to be on the open road, do some serious research. Get back to work.” I can’t very well say “No!” to the Big Guy.
I’ve got a great team working behind the scenes to help me. Here’s where we are now.
1. Website overhaul √ (drjenniferaustinleigh.com)
2. Indigogo crowfunding video made √
3. Indigogo page created √ (goes live Wednesday or Thursday.)
4. Perks for crowdfunding decided and parts ordered √
5. Survey Monkey research questions composed √
6. Van rented √
7. Camera bought √ (Sony A6000)
8. House sitter arranged √
9. Triple AAA membership √
10. Route Planned √
That’s the checklist to date. I am excited to be able to do this research. I’m also very scared some moments of the day when I stop and ask myself, “What in the world am I doing?” but… I know something magical or miraculous is going to take place on this trip. Just the fact that I get to meet some of you is a gift beyond my wildest dreams.
My close friends are throwing a launch party here on the 28th. I’ll try to get some video of it and post it here. I’m asking people to please write a prayer for my safety and for me to stay open and receptive to God’s grace and gifts while I am traveling. I’ll out all the prayers in a box and take them with me to read when I get scared, lonely or discouraged. (Which I am sure will happen more than I wish.) If you would like to send me a prayer, either email me or leave one here in the comment section. I’ll print it out and put it in the box.
I feel very called by God, (call it what you like, spirit, the universe, higher power….) to undertake this journey. I know that if I stay open and receptive to his will that all will be fine.
I’ll post a link to the crowdfunding page here. The survey will be up and ready to go soon too.
Please send your prayer when you can, if you are so moved to do so.
Blessings to you all… keep fighting.
Jennifer
Prayers and safe and glorious journey Jennifer!
Jenn:
God, please be with Jennifer as she takes this life altering journey. This is the path that you want her to be on, so please make it an easy, happy, spiritual, soul searching journey. She has gone through so much but it has and will make her a better soul in the long run. She has become closer to you through this extremely difficult time. I know that she is well on her way of fulfilling her life lesson, which I believe, is to help others. She has so many special gifts to share with the world. Please allow her strength and courage to shine during her journey. Please keep her safe and healthy!!!
Dear God, I thank you for our sister, Jennifer, who has ben through the ” lake of fire” and has come through as a true warrior. Now Father, she’s embarking on this journey as your servant to share with others what she’s learned through her experience. Please keep your angels around her van and protect her on the road. Father, please keep her healthy snd protect her from all the colds, flu, and viruses that go around this time of year. I pray that as she travels she will find that she’s getting stronger and stronger in body, mind, and spirit. Let her never forget that you ‘re always right beside her, when she does have moments of feeling overwhelmed, please just wrap her up tightly in your arms. God, I feel that you will be opening doors for Jennifer on this trip. Thank you that we, her benzo buddies, can share this journey with her. Thank your for your constant love and protection,,

Dear precious Jesus, I lift up Dr. Jennifer to You this beautiful morning and ask that you not only protect her in her travels but give her guidance and wisdom with her project . This is not only a huge step forward for her but she is doing this in Your name. Protect her, Lord. Give her good health, peaceful sleep and strength. I ask this in Your name. Thank you and praise You, sweet Lord.
Father,
Please keep Jennifer, my dear friend, safe as she travels the country and meets with others. Please protect her and keep her well. Help her to hear your voice and see your vision for her as she travels. Help her to know your love and to let your love flow through her to others as she meets them on her journey. May she be a conduit of the hope that we all need to survive withdrawal. Above all, may others see your love for them in her. Thank you.
Thank you for all the prayers… I am printing them out and putting into my prayer box to take with me on the road. Please keep sending if you feel inclined.
I am praying for all of you too, that God helps you as you heal.
Heavenly Father, as Jennifer readies to embark on her cross country journey continue healing her body and help her to sleep soundly. Prepare her physically and mentally, give her strength, courage and stamina and erase all fear from her being. Watch over our dear Jenn every step of the way and guide her to do whatever work you have intended for her to do. Let her gather more and more strength and increasingly good health and she steps across the country. Amen.
Thank you Anne. I will print it out and put in my prayer box. How are you doing?
May you be free of suffering
May you be well
May you be peaceful and at ease
May you be happy
Metta (deepest bow, respect and gratitude)

Today is a tough day for me. Waves and windows. The waves get me down so much. I love seeing you doing so much better and sleeping. That’s wonderful.
