It was through years of dealing with pain, exhaustion and holding onto anger that an etheric being taught her how this is Earth School and that we come here to either learn or teach lessons. Every situation you go through in life has a grand purpose. No job, no situation, no bad marriage is ever a waste of your time. The people who push your buttons the most are your greatest teachers. This is hard for most to wrap their brains around. When Joanne finally got it and that her accident was for the highest purpose, she started seeing life from a new lens. She became a life coach, and has counseled well over 6,000 clients to show them a better way of looking at any situation. Her art changed drastically when what she perceived as an angel appeared to her and showed her many things which all came true. Her visionary art has been presented in front of many nations at the UN and collected by countless people around the world, including ambassadors and world leaders. Her specialty is getting people to clear old beliefs stored in their sub-conscious that may be holding them back from their greatness. And now, her passion for writing with humor from many years of amazing experiences is being birthed.
