Hi my name is JoAnn Donahue,
I am married to my husband for 28 years. We have 3 grown children and 2 grandbabies.. Oh we started young!
My life has been a roller coaster ride since childhood.
I am a determined lady.. always have been. However when I took on the role of wife and mother almost simultaneously I lost my gumption for me. I played a part for the sake of others.
I do not regret it really, I wanted a family to call my own and raise children the way I was not. And I did just that. For the most part everyone came away un-scathed
We did deal with our middle son and addiction for, wow 8 years but I am THANKFUL to say today he is finally in a place where he is sick and tired of being sick and tired. He is fighting his fight.. Not me (anymore) However, I would do it again. I’m not typical, I couldn’t do the “tough love” thing that everyones talks about. I always say when you walk in my shoes then you tell me how or what to do. Until then I have my walk and you have yours. What works for one may not work for another. It was the most difficult time in my life.. I have the gray hair to prove it! I wish it on no one!
Fast forward I am now 48 years old, and I feel more determined then ever to Be ALL
I can be. I get one shot at life. And I want to be and do the real me.. Not being anyones anything so to speak.
I came into life by myself and I am passing by myself. I do not believe I owe anyone anything other than respect and kindness. Which I gladly offer.
And so, as I take this journey I pray for wisdom, strength and courage. And I approach this part of my life with eyes wide open and a willingness to gladly put my ego to rest.. I just want to be present !!
I am a founding member @ Stralink Nation and My Private Classroom. I came on the internet a few years ago, got caught up in ALL the hype, lost some money and became very determined to find the truth about MLM, online and off line marketing and pass it on to other’s.
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers but above that the world needs dreamers who do!
Peace & Blessing’s,
JoAnn
P.s. My New Most Favorite Quote…
“Live your life in such a way that when your feet
hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders &
says…“Oh Shit..she’s awake!!”
______________
Oh I am still here..
Not going anywhere.. I am tickled
you were looking for little ole me! ;-)
have you had the opportunity to get
a listen to Little Big Town yet?
I actually saw them in an interview
by chance and you came to my mind!
Peace Sista’
JoAnn
Thank you so much Silverdaily..

JoAnn, thank you for enlightening each of us. You are totally right, unless you walk in my shoes then you just don’t know what I’m going thru so don’t judge me.
Your quote is perfect! Thanks for sharing.
