Author: Joan T Warren

Author Joan T. Warren retired from occupational therapy and addictions ministry, but still loves to build and maintain healthy relationships, encourage others in their journey toward wholeness, and engage creative skills such as writing, drawing, painting, dancing, home decorating, furniture refurbishing, and gardening. She's an active grandmother and great-grandmother who enjoys making wholesome development fun. Her faith is the quiet engine behind her life, so although she enjoys delivering inspirational messages, she dislikes preachy, controlling, guilt-trips just as much as you do!
