Keep on Dreamin'

My grandma sent me a newspaper article last week that was very fascinating. (Thank you Grandma!) It is about a lady that has been interested in writing stories but due to a difficult time in her life where she was solely responsible for raising her family she was unable for many years to follow her dreams. Over the last couple a years though she has been able to pursue her desire to write and has three books out. The books are called JoJo Books and they are books with a moral. The most fascinating part is not that she has been able to overcome a tough circumstance to be able to write it is that she is now 82 years old!

It is so hard to be patient with life sometimes. I think this woman, Joyce Soderberg, is incredible for not only having the patience but the persistence to continue pursuing dreams even at her age. She looks like an incredible lady with a lot of spunk. What a great example of making every moment count. Sometimes it can be so easy to get stuck in a comfort zone.

According to the article she is a great story teller and has perfected the stories over years of telling and retelling them to her children, grandchildren and so on. I think hers is an inspiring story for everyone not only to encourage people not to give up but to continue to share your talents! It is a quick read and very inspiring.

Here are the books she has published so far:
