Profile Information
- How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
- My husband is founder and president............Dan Miller! We got married in 1968 so he has been in my life for a very long time. He is my inspiration and love, my best friend, counselor and mentor in many ways. I hope that being more active in this community will enhance my creative spirit and keep me more aware of what is going on with all our 48 Days followers. We have made amazing friends through this journey!
- What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
- Mother Superior for 48 Days and KEZA. I am a writer, poet, author, speaker and sounding board for 48 Days, LLC. Although I don't hold an active role in the day-to-day activities with 48 Days anymore, I still am very involved in helping teach the writer's conferences and speaking with Dan when appropriate. We are a great team and I love working with him.
- And then...what is your goal/dream for your work life?
- To use my creative efforts and my philanthropical mindset to empower others to success. I find myself mentoring other women in their role of parenting, living with an entrepreneur, being creative, writing, etc. I want to continue to be an inspiration and help to those I meet in the 48 Days community. I am currently writing a book with my friend and artist, Dorsey McHugh, on the need for tapping into our right brain. She and I would love to finish (or be close) by the February 2013 Wisdom Meets Passion Cruise when we will be teaching principles from that book. I am about to release the fourth book in a series of I Wanna Be children's books based on personality styles of children.
- How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?
- Finishing my books, continuing to write and inspire women and couples who might be struggling in entrepreneurial relationships. Encouraging women to be passionate about life and authentic in who they are. EveryONE and EveryTHING counts!
- What would you say are your strongest talents? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?
- I feel the basis for any successful endeavor is to have a healthy, happy home and family life. It is essential to success in business, community, church, and any other relationship. I want to use my experiences to mentor others who want to concentrate on this area of their lives. I excel in connecting people and encouraging them towards greater success in their lives.
- Do you have a website presence anywhere?
- http://www.48Days.com
- More than one website?
- http://www.48Days.net/profile/joannemiller
- If you have a product or service to promote (now or in the near future) this is your shot to state it! Say all you'd like:
- I have three (another in Sept, 2012) children's books in the I Wanna Be series. I am writing a book with Dorsey McHugh on creativity to be released in 2013. Watch for any of my books to be featured on the 48 Days.com site in the products section.

In writing my book on creativity I am including a section on vibrant health through tapping into your creative nature. I am convinced expanding your right brain is a key to better health and vitality.
Interestingly I am also at the menopausal age in life where I am able to devote time and energy into discovering where my own creative nature leads and am finding a new me I didn’t know was there. I am reading a ton of books, articles and quotes that feed into this belief that being…
Continue WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
Posted on February 28, 2013 at 1:15pm 4 Comments 3 Likes
Three questions keep running through my mind:
1. Who is speaking into my life?
2. Am I really listening?
4. Am I giving valuable output to others?
This morning I listened to a podcast while on the treadmill that was not only inspirational but also sparked the nagging afterthought of “who is speaking into my life?" Interestingly, that is not at all what…

While shopping recently with a good friend she held up a garment for me to check out and I made an off-hand remark about how that would not fit my fat posterior. During the course of the excursion, there were several times I made remarks about myself that were less than kind. At one point my friend pointed out to me, sweetly, that I needed to quit talking so negatively about myself. Harrumph!
I know better than most what negative self-talk does to a person. Dan and I teach…
Continue Put On Your Sunglasses!

On a recent ride through the country after a rain storm, my husband abruptly stopped mid-sentence to point out the rainbow off in the distance. I found it quickly and reflected on its beauty. We continued our catch-up discussion and while making a point I took off my sun-glasses, gazing off in the direction of the rainbow. Weird….it had disappeared! I continued talking and put my sunglasses back on. Voila! The rainbow was as clear as it was before. Took my glasses off again…
Continue Are You Authentic?
Posted on August 30, 2012 at 12:16pm 21 Comments 2 Likes
I learn a lot about myself through art. In my class yesterday we talked about being authentic. “What does authentic mean to you?” and “How does that relate to your art?” We each wrote our response on paper so as not to influence the answer someone else might give. It was a great exercise!
Now art takes on many forms. You certainly don’t have to have a paint brush in your hand in order to be creative. One of my teachers,…

Hi, Joanne,
Great to see you and Dan again at Catawba. I realized after I offered to send you a manuscript that I don't really have an e-mail address for you. Help!

Joanne,
Well...I started typing this thank you note about five times and quite frankly, I am a bit speechless at your kind note and don't quite know how to respond in the right way as I don't think you really realize how much it meant to me! Delighted, stunned, honored, etc. didn't quite describe it!
I had Maggie read your note out loud to the kids and I when we got home tonight. We recorded it on video and the kids spent the last hour editing it and trying to teach me how to use the darn iMovie feature (what a hoot!). If we can figure out how to email the file to you, we will.
Joanne, your note just has me grinning ear to ear. I was feeling a bit down these past two days with the 2nd book as it isn't where it could be in reaching people. Your note came at the perfect time as I was feeling a bummed that it isn't "there" yet.
Ha! I had to laugh at your note about Don't Quet! I think the editors in the group must cringe enough at my grammar and spelling at times - the Don't Quet would have evicted me from the group I am afraid. ha ha You actually inspired the Living Beyond Awesome name at the conference - it stuck right when you said it.
Joanne, thanks again. Honestly and truly, I am truly humbled and amazed at you and Dan's kindness...thank you! I wrote a blog last night that i just posted tonight. It is true about the star struck attitude many of us feel when we meet you guys...then after meeting you both, one comes away feeling like we just made a new good friend! You guys are amazing.
Deby DID make me look pretty darn good (as well as everyone else that she did at the conference). What a AWESOME service she provides for those of us that NEED her!!
We are literally counting the months to coming back to TN! HOPING within the next 10-18 months we will be coming back as a family to do our debt free scream. It would be great to have it around one of the upcoming conferences as I would love to have the family pop in for your traditional gathering at the end of the events. It still cracks me up that the kids recognize Dan's voice and picture (my 8 year Max said Hey that is Dan Miller when I posted the blog tonight - you guys are a part of our family!).
Many blessings and hugs!
Jen
