Meet Janet
STARTING OVER WITH A SPECTACULAR PLAN B…Janet shares part of her story in Indymaven magazine.
Janet will tell you that nothing in her life has gone as planned. From starting out as a baby adopted at four days old, to going through a divorce in mid-life and becoming the single mom of two children. But what has carried her through is her faith — and a huge dose of positivity.
“We think Plan A has sparkles and joy but Plan B can have glitter and confetti, and joy sprinkled in,” Hart said.
