I would like to introduce you to my friend, Janet Perez Eckles and let you know about an opportunity for a blessing available today only. (I will tell you more about that after I tell you about this facinating person.) She is a bright vivacious speaker and author. My favorite story about her is the time another friend, Lorilyn, met Janet for the first time. Lorilyn spent 30 minutes sitting at a table talking to Janet over lunch and trying to show her a book. Janet seemed uninterested. It wasn't until later that Lorilyn learned why Janet would not look at the book. Janet is completely blind. She lost her sight at the age of 31 due to an eye disease. If you think that stops "this blind chica" as she calls herself, you are sadly mistaken. Janet speaks on radio, television, and women's seminars wherever she is invited.
Her biography reads:
As a young girl, Janet packed dreams and expectations when she left Bolivia to come to America. She found not only wonder and beauty in her new life, but also the challenge to overcome trials—physical blindness, marital infidelity, financial devastation, the loss of her son and the acquittal of the man responsible.
But rather than despair, Christ’s love ushered victory for each battle, giving her wisdom to overcome adversity, rekindling her zeal for life and ushering peace for each moment. These victories sparked her mission to inspire and encourage others. As a bilingual Spanish inspirational speaker, she ignites in her audiences the same passion to triumph, to find purpose in life and achieve professional and personal success.
Janet earned her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Southeast Missouri State University. After graduation, she met Gene, her husband of 35 years. They live in Orlando, FL where they enjoy their sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
Janet serves as a women’s Sunday school teacher and a ministry leader at South Orlando Baptist Church.
Today Janet is launching Simply Salsa: Dancing Without Fear at God's Fiesta, her book about overcoming tragedies in life. The following was written about this book:

Theresa - thanks for posting this great author and her book Simply Salsa. When I first read about her unbelievable story - I was amazed by her unwavering devotion to God and her ability to extend so much forgiveness to those who had so deeply wounded her.
I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of her book, reading it, and sharing it with others.
God bless...
