What is living simply?
- Living simply is not so much about the particulars of our lives as much as it is about the principles that govern them. Knowing what God has called you to do, and then doing it--that's living simply.

Simply beautiful Joanne! Been following your progress from the time it happened. Never knew of you before and now I feel so blessed to "know" you thru the blog of your husband, sister, and father. Been praying for you often.
Love Lori

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL PICS!
HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

You look beautiful! Only a few short (well long to you) months ago you had many wires & tubes & we prayed Jesus would not call you home just yet. Yet look at you today, you truly are a miracle! I have enjoyed following your blog, it seems like so long ago we were all holding our breath, waiting to see if you'd breathe, walk, or talk ever again. Stay strong!

Joanne... you look great!!
Posted by: Laura M | May 01, 2011 at 03:05 PM
WOW! Jo you are such an amazing person. The hair is groovey - the resiliance and determination in your eyes does nothing to deminish the glow of lovelyness there... I think it might just enhance it ;)
Blessings,
Sheree

Thank you for posting pictures of Joanne. Toben, I've read your blog every morning since Joanne's stroke. It gives me such inspiration in starting my day. The pictures have given me some insight to visually "see" that Joanne is progressing. Her hair is awesome as it always was and that smile can still light up a room. Many blessings to you and your entire family. You are all always in my prayers. Miss you all at Mission.

So good to 'see' you girl! Thanks to Kristen again for the beautiful pictures. What a darling doo...you do look so much like your beautiful Mother!
Glad you got to go 'home' to visit kitty and glad you have a goal date for homecoming which is sure to encourage you thru more HARD work of rehab! Bet they have the "No Pain, No Gain" sign posted somewhere?! But the 'Wonder Women' shirt says it happier and much more fun C=
Hugs and prayers for you all---

Yeah, just posted, but had to tell you, Joanne, I made your 'Heavenly Chocolate Cake' for friends' birthday here last nite and it IS to DIE for!! Thank you for sharing...already looking for excuse to make it again =P

Jo,
I don't know you, i haven't ever met you, and the only images I've ever seen of you were the few on this blog that i found right after i learned of you through the LPM blog. All that to say, the pictures of you today are STUNNING because of your Spirit. While your hair is haute couture, your smile is sweet and your determination is definitely inspiring, it is the indomitable and invincible Holy Spirit in you that makes these images irresistible.
WELL DONE!
You look marvelous!
Prayers have gone up for you... they will continue.
God bless you,
Joy S.

Joanne,
Joy S. expresses my sentiment exactly!! I learned about you through LPM and began praying and reading your blog the day we got word of your situation. Your life (current trail) has been amazing to read about. It was great to see pictures of your progress! Please know you and your family remain in my prayers!!!
Blessings, Katie Falkenmeyer
