Everyday people making a difference

Niceville author tells you how you can too

With the cost of living going through the roof, gas prices taking us for a ride, and the housing market on shaky ground, we are all searching for a way out. We need someone to look us squarely in the eye and say, “You can make it!” This is the positive reinforcement that you will gain in the newly released book, The Energy of Encouragement: How Affirmation Can Lift You and Everyone Around You, by Janet Brady-Powell.

A native Jamaican and twelve-year cancer survivor, Janet shares how the encouragement that she received from others has helped her survive some of life’s most difficult challenges. And now, she wants you to experience the same joy when she tells how ordinary people can bring about extraordinary change in other people’s lives, simply by words, action and affirmation. Janet believes that each of us has the ability to touch someone else in a significant way and leave a lasting impression. She states, “What we do can positively impact someone’s day, someone’s life… someone’s destiny.” In this passionately-packed personal testimony, The Energy of Encouragement, the message of lifting and helping people—one person at a time— is what weaves this tiny treasure chest of practical advice together.

As the founder of Precision Tutoring Services (K-12), Janet says, “We must begin to foster encouragement and hope in the lives of our youth if we want to build an encouraging community. Too many children are discouraged and disengaged. My goal is to awaken their desire to learn and to excel. Each child can live a successful life.”

Anyone can encourage and everyone knows someone who needs encouragement. Likewise, life becomes more fulfilling when it’s lived with an attitude of giving.  In The Energy of Encouragement: How Affirmation Can Lift You and Everyone Around You, you will discover the endless possibilities of living your life in a giving way. Take Janet’s insightful advice and learn that, “You can become an encouraging person and you can begin energizing today.”
