Janet’s Story

“I’m about to be a quick-change artist and turn that introduction of me that you just read inside out. Oh, the formal ‘bio’ is correct. I have been a wife, teacher, mom, grandma, pro-family activist, and education consultant. That is my one story. But now, I want to share with you my other story.
