Angela Barnes is a poet and writer. In this very personal Podcast, Angela shares the reason for founding the Janet Barnes Legacy Foundation. —just 24 hours after the death of her mother, Janet Barnes. She includes a glimpse of her mother’s incredible life–a quadriplegic from birth.   Janet Barnes’ life story was published in 90-pound Heavyweight: The Life and Triumph of Janet Barnes, a non-fiction work based on hours of conversations with her author/daughter as well as from diaries and other records. Janet wanted others to know how one can be productive and successful regardless of their physical condition.   As you listen to the Podcast, you will get a senseof the indomitablespirit of a small, frail woman–who at the same time was a giant in spirit, heart, mind and determination.   The Podcast includes a few stories about Janet’s life, but mostly about her experiences of pain, suffering, care and survival following a serious accident which broke nearly every bone in her body.   It is Angela’s hope that this Podcast will encourage you to live your life to the fullest, regardless of what seems to be barriers.   Visit www.90poundheavyweight.org for more information on the Janet Barnes Legacy Foundation and www.heartspokenwords.com Angela Barnes’ website.
