About JoAnne Funch

I founded  Circle of StrengthTM in 2003 to meet the growing need I discovered among friends and colleagues who frequently discussed their search for meaningful connections, inspiration and support from other women. Circle of Strength grew to inspire, empower and celebrate life through sharing information, offering opportunity to grow personally & professionally and to inspire all women to lend a hand up to other women.

Circle of StrengthTM also sells inspirational gift items for women in the online boutique store.  JoAnne’s heart and soul is her mission of “Strengthening Women, Strengthening Communities”

Other interesting tidbits about me are;

I answer is always YES… (Yes to life and opportunities that I believe have come my way for a reason)

I always say yes when it comes to putting more fun into my life.

I pick-up the phone and call people I care about, rather than always sending an email or text.

I use the good dishes and cloth napkins everyday.

I buy the better wine and order the meal I really want when I go out.

I believe in a power greater than myself.

I am a spiritual being living a human life.

I have a precious cat named Tara.

I love Italian food of every kind, and I love to drink red wine with it!

I love to cook and to entertain.

I practice living in the moment every day.

I write down and speak what I am grateful for everyday.

I love to write and often visualize myself writing from far off  lands.

I know that I am and have been loved…for that I am most grateful.
