LETTER FROM JANE
I'm a mom of a 27 year old named Michael, a journalist & TV host, and most of all, a woman with a mission of helping other women.
Since I was a little girl I have loved style, color, cooking, gardening, fashion and design and that's the fun part of what I do here.
I'm also a woman who has had successes and made mistakes in her life and my hope is to share with you the tools I have used to enhance my self love and thus, my life.
I appreciate you and hope we'll be longtime friends, here on Real Jane.

My Most Important Lesson
