Our missteps, misdeeds, loves, laughter, struggles and accomplishments are only a few of the stories that make up our life. Deanna Nowadnick chats with us about how she started writing her life story. She wanted to tell her sons about how she met their father. She wrote as if she were writing a letter and one story led to another and then she had a book, Fruit of My Spirit. Deanna, an author, speaker, mentor now has two books published and is a delight as she recounts her humble beginnings of writing. She encourages us all to just start writing as if writing a letter and just get words onto paper.
