Hi! My Name is JoAnne Brown. Thanks for stopping by.
I am married, have 2 daughters , as well as 4 grandchildren and a dog. My husband and I moved to Vancouver Island after I retired as an elementary school teacher. I worked part-time at a preschool, until Covid-19 hit and I am now enjoying full time retirement. I also volunteer for an organization that helps street kids. My interests are fitness and health, dance, sewing and recently quilting, as well as spending time with my family.
I am also a cancer survivor, not once but going on four times now. After the 2nd time, I wrote a book entitled, "TWICE: Lessons, Insights & Healing from Cancer". My purpose in writing it was to share my thoughts and experiences with the hope that it would be an encouragement to those who are going through or know someone who is going through a difficult time in their life. Perhaps, I will write put a post script to it someday, as I have learned so much more about God's healing in my life.
Being a cancer survivor, has made me realize that I have something to share. I want to make myself available to encourage others in their journey.
If you wish to purchase my book or get in touch with me for any reason, you can contact me at [email protected]
I also believe in God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and believe we were created to have relationship with Him.
I look forward to sharing many things with you and hope you find them encouraging or at least amusing!
