After being connected with a few "I-havent-seen-or-talked-to-you-since-middle-school" folks by Facebook, I gave Reunion.com a try, just for fun. And like most of these sites, Reunion tried to lure me to pay for membership with a teaser. The teaser was, of course, a list of the many intriguing and anonymous people that have been feverishly searching for me this past month and year. The anonymous list made sense, at least demographically, until I reached the bottom of the list to find "A 75 Year Old Man in Plano, Texas".
Knowing this Texan could not have been searching for me, I decided it would be interesting to see how many other Jen Halperns there are out there on the web. After all, I have always felt that I'm a unique and distinctly fabulous person, friend, wife, and mom, so why not check out the other Jen Halperns to see how accomplished they are?
Trusty Google was my tool of choice, and so I typed myself in and off it went, searching for any sliver of me or others like me in the universe. What I discovered was really interesting. There are a lot of really amazing Jen Halperns out there. Here is just a small sampling of what I found:
- One blockbuster Casting Agent
- One Interior Designer to the Rich & Famous (a little Feng Shui for the next Soiree?)
- One renowned Orthopedic Oncologist & Surgeon
- A Successful Theatre Wardrobe Designer
- A NYC Photographer with her own firm
- A Psychologist, with multiple publications
- A PR Giant in the UK
But there is one Jen Halpern that I did not find out there in this online media landscape...
- Jen Halpern the writer, published & syndicated.
Because that niche is mine. And I will continue to write, rant, seek advice from experienced columnists and writers, and put it all out there until I get there.
Until next time,
Jen
