One of my all time favorite quotes:
Holocaust Museum, Washington, DC :
Thou shalt not be a victim.
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.
Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.
BIO
Hmmm...
Mary Jane Holt is the author of From the Corners of my Heart, What IS Love? You Are Somebody and I am, too! and Malignant EMOTION! She also writes a weekly newspaper column and hosts Corner of Country with MJ, a two hour inspirational country radio program every Sunday on Mountain Country 94.5 FM, serving mid west Georgia.
Mary Jane retired early from a nursing career in 1986 to respond to a lifelong yearning to "just write." She began a weekly newspaper column that would become an award-winner the following year and founded a community health magazine in 1988 which she published for 12 years. She has been honored by The Georgia Press Association, The American Heart Association; The Mental Health Association of Georgia and The Carter Center. As is so often the case, "just writing" opened other doors. Today, she is still a writer, but also a motivational speaker and radio/television hostess. To stay grounded and tied to her first vocation (health care) she continues to serve as the community liaison for Alpha Internal Medicine in
Whether Mary Jane Holt is talking to you or writing a newspaper column, a work of fiction or non-fiction, a feature story, or poetry, she is consistently true to a distinctive motivational voice. Her unique speaking and writing style comes straight from a heart that knows how to touch and challenge... the heart of the audience with whom she so easily and intimately connects! From a brief talk, or workshop, to a week-long retreat or event, your business associates, office staff, private group, club, church or civic organization will appreciate Mary Jane's influence.
As a Grandmother:
Being with my grandchildren, any time, anywhere -- for a just few stolen moments or extended days -- makes me happy!
As a Writer:
Always with an underlying desire to empower self and others...
I have written a weekly column since 1986, several non-fiction books, one novel with another presently in the works, plus nearly 500 poems and several empowerment workshops. This amazing computer age makes many writing projects SO much easier, yet the poems still require pen and paper - I like that!
As a Speaker:
I frequently respond to whatever topics are asked of me, but I most enjoy talking about choices and attitude, being a survivor and defying labels and I truly love doing this in a Retreat Setting!
As a Workshop Author / Facilitator,
I presently offer Three Workshops:
1. You Are Somebody and I am, too! -- can be a one day program but much more enjoyable and effective in a retreat setting (somewhat faith-based, but NOT religious).
2. MAP The Path to Success -- great for corporate settings
3. Broken to Bold -- totally faith based!
About - You Are Somebody and I am, too!
If you are flirting with burnout... going through a big transition... about to take on a new identity... as a result perhaps of graduation, marriage, divorce, a death of someone close to you, a personal diagnosis of chronic or terminal illness, an empty nest, down-sizing that is forcing you to reevaluate your entire future or any number of catalysts, then this program is for you!
About - MAP The Path to Success
Do you want your life to matter? Do you want to make a difference? Do you want to be successful in all you do? Then MAP is for you!
About - Broken to Bold
There's nothing quite like it if you want to better understand what victorious living is all about!

As a Marketing Consultant:
I specialize in what I enjoy, which is Communication Consulting and Coaching; Promotion Planning; Image Enhancement; Event Planning; Ad Campaigns; Web Site Planning & Design Assistance; Promotional Materials and Newsletters; PLUS Workshop Facilitation with a strong focus on Morale Boosting, Team Building AND Diversity Appreciation! AND I spend a lot of time telling folks that they really are SOMEBODY, and I am, too... and we all make a difference every day by what we do and do not do... BTW - the book entitled "You Are Somebody and I am, too" is a collection of columns. The workshop entitled "You Are Somebody and I am, too" is totally different. I just like the name so I used it when writing both projects. - mjh
