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.

What’s Your “Story”?
“Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create”. - Oprah Winfrey * I discovered that I had a story I had created about myself. I came up with it, as we all do, when I was a child, and then I carried that behavior...
Design Your Life With Me!
"Be an optimist". "Manifest good”. But how do you do it? * As we begin 2022 I want to share with you what I have learned & what I believe is possible for each of us. Maybe for the first time in my life it is possible for me to "be an optimist" because of the work...

Pat Smith Opens Up About Life Changes

The Power of Pink
Can we talk about pink, and it's "secret power"? Just like the torsos depicted on my blouse, women come in all shapes, sizes, and colors..and not all those women have the resources to take care of their bodies like they would like to. ...
What Would I Do Differently?
What a great question I got on my most recent Instagram Live! I had to think for a minute, but not really that long, about what I would do differently if I had it all to do over again. [video width="682" height="1028"...
