Who The Heck Are You Lady?
My name is Jennifer Denise Pillion. I’m a young sixty-two.
I was born out of wedlock to Lottie Tinsley, at Meadowbrook Hospital in East Meadow, NY.
I was raised in the wonderful foster home of James and Helen Ruth Barbour of Freeport, New York.
I now live in the state of Indiana when I was adopted as an adult of 22.
On that date, my name was changed from Denise Tinsley, to Jennifer Denise Pillion. The judge said I could, and so I did.
I suspect if you’ve made it this far, you may be stunned by the amount of information I’m willing to share.
There’s a reason for that.
This blog is titled: “Sparky Jen” for a reason.
The tagline: “No Beating Around the Bush Allowed,” has to begin with me.
- I’m a licensed Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Coach Practitioner
- I proudly served my country in the US Air Force
- I am an avid researcher
- I love to whitewater raft
- I love to ride the waves on a Yamaha
- I am a Distinguished Toastmaster
- I am a Reminiscence Coach/Memory Finder
- I am officially a blogger
But most of all…
I am a lover of life. I practice what I preach. I believe in miracles. I live a life of abundance and joy.
Yes! I am Sparky with good reason. Someone loved me enough to light a spark underneath me years ago.
I’m here today, this afternoon, evening, whenever, however, right now…
To Share My Spark With You!!!
Well thank you @sparkyjen. You exude life and confidence. I certainly need someone positive like you around me so will be watching this space with interest. 😃

Wow…cool.
You can follow me one of two ways I think.
At the bottom of any of my blog pages on right side, there should be a follow button that pops up.
You can also use this reader to find our communication, and another follow button when reading my comments back to you. I know because I just followed you from here.

I’ve never been one to have secrets. That way I don’t have to remember what I told whom.
I don’t mind sharing. Blogging makes it not only an almost must (our readers connect better with humans, then robots), but it just feels so safe to me.
Oh! As mentioned…”No Beating Around the Bush Allowed,” starts with me.

‘Youthful exuberance’ is a wonderful phrase. Thanks for sharing!
They say: “Age is only a number.” Good thing too, ’cause I still have lots of energy left. We humans are living longer. Hopefully those of us that do will continue to find engaging ways to stimulate our minds, bodies, and spirits. And then, pass it on.
Think of all we can accomplish in our lives putting our years, younger and older to positive use. Whoopee!!!

Hello Sparkyjen,
I’m back again to leave another comment (there’s no rule is there to say we can only comment once? If so, I am breaking it!)
I love that you describe yourself as someone who is a lover of life and that you choose to live a life of abundance and joy.
Your achievements in life, your photo and the vibrant energy that exudes from your introduction certainly attests to this.
Thank you for sharing.
