Life Works! Like Poetry in Motion

Joan Maresh Hansen
Joan Maresh Hansen

Life Works! is about my 34 year amazing journey in teaching art and technology while working with very talented young people. After marrying a man, met 40 years before, Texas had restrictions forcing teachers in directions not planned. One of those "dark nights of the soul" kind of experiences, then recovery presented itself in an IDEA which brought LIFE back into my heart and soul. The AH-HA moment arrived when realizations of how I could teach again surfaced. Special thanks to those on the path who have provided support in this new business arena, my former students, Marla Van Overbeke, Marian LaSalle, Sandy Brewer, and internet marketers; Pat O'Bryan, Dr. Joe Vitale, Craig Perinne, Bill Hibbler, Eric Farewell and Erica Douglas and numerous others. Thanks to my husband, Dennis Earl Hansen whose partnership and love have made this the best part of the journey. Life is good and getting better. Enjoy the story and watch for newer more exciting versions. Thanks! Be blessed! I heard about this contest when I read an email talking about the features of 際際滷share and how to use it to your benefit. When I visited the site, I saw the contest. Thanks for the opportunity to share our stories.

Life Works! Poetry in Motion
Life Purpose presents itself At age 6, my teachers influences tantalized me into becoming a teacher My dolls became my students in my imaginary school
Positive impact continued from parents and grandparents Napolean Hill said,Faith is the starting point of all things manifested My family provided creative and loving nudges-instilling that faith
My Texas life planted seeds for a bright future
When someone talks to you.says what you want them to My journey in teaching began in my high school Knowing that first moment...teaching was the right choice....
You find the PATH you takeall in what you MAKE Teaching came naturally..with incredible results
Theres nothing left to saywhen LOVE has found its way Local & State & National Recognition Students received AWARD after AWARD... Honors: Teacher of the Year ( in both schools) Texas State Secondary Art Teacher of the Year National Secondary Art Teacher of the Yearwhat BLESSINGS!
Decades of excellent results in traditional mediathen Realized computers were needed to prepare students For the future workforce with computer skills!
Your heart was brokenleft in the dark Dreams Came True Ended 13 years of grant writing to get technology in the art classes Recruited to start electronic media program in art magnet school Also teaching AP Studio Art Texas兵 1st Electronic Media Art Teacher

People representing hammers are like powerful tools in the world building and creating new thoughts and ideas. I could teach on the internet in a virtual classroomLife returned and began to FLOW through my veins again
Life happens.... Ones life purpose can continue to drive us toward larger dreams
Each time we extend ourselves to another we are reminded how inextricably linked we are to others. We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men, and among those fibers as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects. Herman Mellville My intention is to give back by providing assistance to others who could become the benefactors of that same generosity
