We can work only to make a living or we can work to make a life.  If we stay focused on what has meaning to us and never underestimate the power of prayer we can do both – make a living and a life.

Writing is what I love -- about extraordinary ordinary people, things that matter, determination, perseverance, and the importance of finding joy in every day living.

One of those extraordinary people was my sister Melody Sue Corey.  Sue left earthly life, January 30, 2008, after waging a six-year battle with cancer.  I have created a website in her memory at www.suecorey.com.

Also dear to my heart is working to preserve heritage barns and farmsteads.  They can be part of our lives today and tomorrow.  Barns are not outdated relics but cathedrals to the earth's spirit.  Find a barn that needs a friend and become its advocate.

Enjoy these excerpts from Jan's books.

Some addicts, the really honest ones, admit when their addiction began...  Most addictions begin with some kind of inducement -- persuasive peers, the come-on of casino lights.  And so it was for me.  I don't smoke and I don't gamble, but I am hopelessly -- or maybe the correct word is hopefully -- addicted to barns.  From the time I was old enough to be in the barn built by Grandpa Corey at the turn of the last century, I was in love....
