Co-authors, Janet Snyder and Kathleen Canova, “SILVER SISTERS” who’ve been friends for 50+ years, are self-proclaimed “Subject Matter Experts” (SMEs). Many of the themes and topics addressed in their Silver Series of Grown-Up Wisdom are inspired and based on a 30-Day Personal Development Program created by Janet entitled, "OOOH Crap! We Become What We Think About."

Janet resides in Louisville, Kentucky where she is the mother of three and the "Nan" of two grands (with another on the way this Fall). After many years of personal struggle from the aftereffects endured from her own mental and emotional childhood/young adult trauma, Janet turned her focused attention to personal healing through self-study while aspiring to improve her own life. Also, combining her decades of work in the interior design industry with her love of the earth, she founded StoryBook Cottages for children. Intrinsic in her unique designs are the use of recycled materials and sustainable living green rooftops. 

Kathleen resides in Westminster, Colorado where she thrives in her role as mom, and is fondly called "Yaya" by her four grandchildren. A successful entrepreneur in the promotional merchandise and natural supplement industries, she has also facilitated domestic crisis intervention, deep emotional and spiritual healing programs. Based on her own lived experiences with domestic abuse and after pursuing her emotional healing, she underwent extensive training and certifications. When she's not working and creating, Kathleen enjoys the beauty of the great outdoors, traveling, reading and spending quality time with friends and family!
