Jan in her front yard filled with green beauty.

Jan finds strength in her husband's wise words, "You can never give enough." She recalls her family's struggles soon after the photo of children was taken. Her father kept everything together.

Jan shares her mother's love for embroidery.

Jan is reminded that time it precious. She is a "doer'. She must reminder herself that it is Okay just to BE.

Grandmother's belt buckle is her color inspiration: Green - love of nature and her green thumb. Black - tough times in life have allowed her to grow.

Paisley - Her grandmother's crocheted lace. Black checkered - roots in farming and love of dishes. Basket weave - resourcefulness and organizational skills. Mother's button - Jan likes a little bling.

Faith in the process - "Life is changed not taken away."
