Hi there! I'm Jana (Yahna) Williams.

Welcome to a cozy place to hang out, where life education never ceases. Every 4th Sunday of the month, we’ll explore the areas of personal and professional development with an underlying theme of reading and writing for growth and healing. (I'm a HUGE literacy advocate! And, literacy is intertwined in just about everything I do here online. Take, for instance, the L.I.T. News Newsletter that I hope you'll choose to peruse. The "L.I.T" in the newsletter name is representative of Life-Improvement Training -- which we do a lot of around these parts -- as well as my love of all things literacy.) Just know that, as a content creator, I have a passion for educating others through positive, encouraging, and life-impacting content. Words are powerful once delivered. So, let’s enjoy their empowerment for the good, as we travel this life-improvement journey together.

Reader, Welcome to another issue of L.I.T. News. I'm excited to continue the topic of communication, specifically emphasizing the importance of how we communicate with ourselves. YOU are important, and it's necessary to check in with yourself regularly. Personally, I've found writing to be a therapeutic way to do so. And since sharing is caring, I've taken the liberty to share a little of what I've found to be true about writing therapy. So, please check out issue 75 of the newsletter -- hot...

Reader, Welcome to the first issue of L.I.T. News for 2026. I'm so honored that you're here. Because we're all about the L.I.T.

For, what good is it to have knowledge or information and not use that knowledge or information to improve your quality of living? Hmmm? So, let's get a glimpse of the information in store for...

Reader, So happy to see you here at another L.I.T. News newsletter. It makes my day when you take the time to open your email and see what I have waiting for you. Did you happen to notice the change in this email? It's ever so slight. You may not have, if you're new to the newsletter, and that's okay. Welcome! But, if you've been around for a while, you may have spotted it already. Well, to alleviate the suspense -- I changed up the "Subject Line." I was tired of the same old-same old...

Reader, Welcome to another issue of the L.I.T. News newsletter. I hope it finds you well and that you've had a fantastic weekend thus far. Today, the weather has been most pleasant -- a milder, around 80 degrees, August, summery day in the Midwest. So, I can't complain. And even if it was a blistering, closer to 100 degrees type of day, I'd still be very grateful. Because . . . regardless of the temp on the dial, I'm here to experience it. So, it's a good day. Now, I don't plan on keeping you...

Reader, I apologize for this issue coming out a little later than usual. I'm playing catch-up after enjoying some vacation time with the family. It was truly a wonderful time! But, I'm back in working action now and looking forward to getting this issue of the newsletter out to you. Pronto! I'm REALLY, REALLY excited, because I have some new tutoring services information to give to you. Page 2 of the newsletter goes into the exciting details. But here's the gist of it . . . I'M OPENING UP...

Reader, So happy to see you here at LIT News for another newsletter update for the month. We are in the second quarter of the year right now, and time is marching along quickly. But one thing I've never let pass me by without addressing it is the opportunity to help someone else. Why? Well, why not? There are so many needs out here -- emotional, social, spiritual, physical, mental, financial, and the list goes on and on. Then, there are also the people behind those needs. Supporting others...
