Sharing
"Sharing"
When you stand and share your story in an empowering way, your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. These words, from writer and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, sum up the feelings of Lisa Browning, founder of One Thousand Trees, and the editor and publisher of an upcoming anthology of women’s empowerment stories.
SHARING: our stories, our selves, our success features 24 writers, a group of women from various walks of life, with different and yet very similar stories to tell ... stories of pain, struggle and courage; healing, hope and vision ... whatever has guided each woman on her journey to healing and wholeness, on all levels.
Many of the women have never met. Says Lisa, “Once the word got out, the project took off. Although the majority of writers are from Ontario, we are very fortunate to have participants from Australia, England, California and Arizona.”
The women are working together, from beginning to end, encouraging each other as they write. They are also sharing all costs, collaboratively promoting the book, and sharing in the profit of sales. And they are giving back. One of the most exciting aspects of this project is that 25% of the proceeds will go to charity. As a condition of participation, each woman was asked to select a charity, either in the area of women's empowerment, or simply one that has touched her heart and soul, and helped her on her journey.
SHARING: our stories, our selves, our success is scheduled to be released on December 6, 2013, in commemoration of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

About the author
Jan Porter
32 books16 followersBio – Jan Porter – Author
Award-winning author Jan Porter brings unsung heroes to life in her notable collection of award-winning books. A connoisseur of literary fiction with strong female leads, Jan seeks to move and entertain with her humorous and heartwarming novels.
Born in rural Ontario, Canada, Jan grew up in the great outdoors where she was captivated by the tales of small-town rural and the northern wilderness.
She discovered her destiny to become an author during her teenage years when she came across old copies of Voltaire’s 'Candide', Margaret Caven’s 'I Heard The Owl Call My Name' and the works of Robert Service. The worn pages of old books unearthed a passion for transforming thoughts into stories. Handwritten scribbles became short stories until retiring from a career in Human Services when Jan began to focus on her writing and bring her female protagonists to life.
Jan is currently cocooned in a northern Ontario sanctuary, where she pens books with strong female heroines and personal growth books.
With each new release, Jan continues to share the wisdom of unsung heroes and explore the human condition in literature. Jan’s popular contemporary women literary fiction novels and personal growth books are profound, heart-warming, moving, inspiring and often humorous must-reads.
