I have all of MaryJane's current books and magazines ( back issues).. and love that we certainly get a lot of her heart. I hope that you all have all her books and Magazines.. but I am still pushing for a "becoming Jane" book.
By the way, just got her latest in the mail... OM..... it is so beautiful!

Yep, I know what your saying, but I think there are more "Jane-isms" to share, new experiences and people she has met and maybe new perspectives....

Well...to tell the truth....when I picked this post I thought of MJ NOT Jane Austen....fooled me! I am in an MJ mindset I guess! And I guess I'm more practical than romantic so haven't read much of JA!
Did anyone see the major network (can't remember which one...Dateline NBC maybe?) a few weeks ago they had a story about (unfortunately) a murder that took place in the Palouse region....bad news but they filmed alot of the countryside which was SO BEAUTIFUL and that's why I watched it and violence is so rare there I guess that it was a "story"...not sure when it happened it could have been a re-run but I kept watching to see the countryside and the small towns....reminds me so much of the small town/countryside I grew up where time has stood still! I love that! I've got to get back there where I grew up because it really hasn't changed either!

Ladies...this whole "MaryJanes" site, is just about overwhelming to me, NEVER did I know there were so many with like minds about such as me...This is thrilling, every time I read, I just get excited all over again, to know there are ladies out there in cyber space that feel as I do about land, farms, flowers, sewing, cooking and all the things that make us women....I am about besides myself...Thanks for your chatter....My mothers could not understand me, when I was small, these things were me, and she could not figure out why...NOW I know...they are just built into us....
Thanks again!!!

Terri as another newbie I agree totally. This is an awesome site! My sisterhood membership pkg and one of MJ's books is on its way to me now and I'm almost beside myself in anticipation. It's been drivin' me nuts watching the mail for it. Finally tonight I remembered I had a tracking code and know it's in my state now so should be here maybe tomorrow...yippeee! I agree that any book Mary Jane would write would be a best seller amongst the sisters.

Terri, All her (MaryJane) books are such a great investment. I would also recommend her past issues of the magazine. For $25 for the whole bundle it is a HUGE amount of info for the investment. I think this is what Karen ment by PMJ ) Power of MaryJane

Is the PMJ just good old fashioned LOVE..for the earth we walk on, old fashioned skills, kindness, good food, and so on and so on...Is that it?....Do we all have that?...I THINK SO!thanks for all of your special little "ideas" of MJ's....I too, cannot help myself with all of her books, magazines and now my house looks like that "Farmgirl" thing....I have 20 or so aprons cut out and started sewing today,,,Am I crazy or what?....LOL!!!!
