Choosing to Thrive: A Vision of Celebrating Women Is Inspiring Change

Hello, I'm Karen Rae the founder here at Fave, and like many women, I know firsthand that life can throw us curveballs that leave us feeling lost, alone, and invisible. When I was going through menopause, my life took a drastic turn. I experienced an unexpected divorce, became an empty nester, re-entered the working world after 27 years, and went through several burglaries, identity theft, and even had a murder happen behind my house. Through all of these experiences, I felt like I was unraveling, and I felt invisible, lonely, and overwhelmed.

Our missteps, misdeeds, loves, laughter, struggles and accomplishments are only a few of the stories that make up our life. Deanna Nowadnick chats with us about how she started writing her life story. She wanted to tell her sons about how she met their father. She wrote as if she were writing a letter and one story led to another and then she had a book, Fruit of My Spirit. Deanna, an author, speaker, mentor now has two books published and is a delight as she recounts her humble beginnings of writing. She encourages us all to just start writing as if writing a letter and just get words onto paper.

I am Jannette, the Daughter of Beverly, and my story is:

My father suddenly died when I was 13 and my mom instantly became the breadwinner for 6 kids. With only a high school education, my mom was restricted to low paying jobs with long hours. We barely financially scratched by. However, she was committed to her children as she balanced both her motherly and work roles. She was tenacious, hardworking, and never gave up.
