I was dubbed a" born teacher" by my grandmother as a child after arguing biblical points with her regarding the teachings of Jesus. I have taught in some capacity for as long as I can remember. My professional teaching career spanned over thirty years. Friends and family regularly seek my teaching in various ways. It is my joy to share information at many levels to inspire and motivate others to new levels. I was born in Texas, and after marriage and living abroad two years, settled in Southern California where I remained to work and raise my family for forty-eight years. I am the mother of three wonderful sons, seven great grandchildren and four beautiful great grands. Upon retiring in 2002 I started to yearn for "home" and returned to Texas in 2005 and settled in The Woodlands that I love. I've been inspired here to start a whole new life, and I am loving it. My latest ventures include www.RawVeganRetreat.com A home retreat specializing in the raw food diet; the Home Radio Podcast www.wisdomwellnessandwealth.com; where I share the awareness I have gathered of wisdom, wellness and wealth on my journey through life; and,an expanding Professional Speaking career. This phase of my life is a very,very exciting time bustling with energy and vitality. I can lead you there. E-mail me at joannmartin@wisdomwellnessandwealth.com
