People tend to just open up to Jeanette in ways that they don’t with others. It certainly helps that she has an unending supply of questions. With this combination of skills, it only made sense for her to create the Mind Travelers blog.
Jeanette Messano is a graphic designer, a writer, a business owner, a mother, and a gardener. She owns and operates JEM Graphics, a graphic design company focussed on environmentally friendly solutions to graphic design and blogging. She also founded the Mind Travelers blog.
She loves life and-of course- an interesting story

Angie Watson
Angie Watson is known for having crazy ideas and determination. She is the inventor of VoiceSign, a sign language for non-verbal communicators. She also likes cats and durian.
Peggy Carey wrote for one of the first internet publications, Streetmail. Founded in 2000 by Lycos inventor, Bo Peabody, the newsy letter was designed to bring local news to the internet. She was quickly addicted to this new medium, and Peggy has written for one internet publication or another ever since, often under a pseudonym. Born and raised in New Mexico, Peggy took her country knowledge to the San Francisco Bay area for 14 years before moving to the small town of Montrose in 1980, when it was only 5000 people. She raised one daughter and a step-son, practiced law, and walked many dogs many miles. Now the operator of Solas Animal Safe Home, she spends her days with 30 rescued animals, practicing law part time as well. She is the author of many short stories, and one novel, The Rock Wren’s Song.

Coming into existence on a dark winter evening, Rob Brethouwer was born to have a book in his hands and a sarcastic remark on the tip of his tongue. A first career is in its late stages and a second short career as a librarian is in the early stages of training. A former classical music columnist with 151 articles out in the world, Rob now turns his pen towards the world of jazz. Obsessed with big cities and subway systems, Rob does what he can to cope with living in small-town America.
She is back, she is sassy, and now she has a voice!

Earlier this year, I set out to speak with those affected by homelessness as well as people that are trying to help. I set out on a cold day to visit with individuals flying signs. Time after time, I heard stories of how people were living normal lives until something caught them off guard. I asked people what has helped them the most, and made a resource list of those resources.
