I have had the pleasure of being your friend and biggest fan for 25 years now. WOW! I have seen you struggle over and over to make it over a few speed bumps in your journey, but girl you never gave up! You have been knocked down emotionally and somewhat discouraged. However, what truly amazes me about you, you get up dust off you stiletto's, put your big girl panties on and that beautiful smiles of yours and keep on working towards your dream. You have touched many lives through you Art and have given so many people hope, encouragement and a dream of their own. You should be proud of yourself, your determation and willingness never to give up; I know I am! You have made it over those speed bumps and are now on the Highroad, you control your destiny. Keep pursuing your dreams! Take the time to look in the rear-view mirror and see where you have been and how far you have come. God speed my friend!

Jan, Your passion and dedication for this project is inspiring to all who have the good fortune to meet you! I think you have touched the heart of the matter in offering traumatized children the chance to express themselves through art. When I heard you talk about the connection between this self expression and the way it can prevent future drug and alcohol abuse, well bravo! and best of luck in your very important endeavor!
