Written by Janet Gibson
Janet Gibson leads a life dedicated to bold and soulful storytelling – and fearless adventures. Career highlights include working as an award-winning writer and editor, specializing in celebrity interviews and fashion reporting; as a marketing pro for media entities and real estate companies; and as a registered private investigator with her late husband, breaking cases in Washington, D.C., New York and Puerto Rico.
Her book, In My Heart This Morning: 100 Days of Encouragement, was born out of daily Facebook posts begun in 2015 while going through a season of growth and loss. Her encouraging words, still a staple on social media today, have, in particular, become anthems for the widowed and grieving – inspiring kindness, resilience and the courage to begin again.
She makes her home in North Carolina, where she writes for individual and corporate clients through her company, Planet Janet Media & Marketing. She has been published in newspapers and magazines nationally and is an accomplished public speaker who moves audiences with humanity-filled stories, real-life adventures, and well-timed humor.

As part of a morning radio show that’s focuses on “The Good” things in our city, we asked Janet if we could read her thought of the day. This book partly was the fuel that changed my life. Now…after I read just one, each day, my eyes are open! To what you ask? To what I call the Spirit of the Universe. Thank you Janet!!!!!

Sometimes we all need a gentle reminder of the things we know, things we’ve always known: believe in ourselves, encourage others; be kind to ourselves, be kind to others; put good into the world; positive thoughts manifest positive outcomes; have faith, find joy, share beauty; be a person of your word, walk your talk; know when to offer advice, and when to stay silent—a loving, listening ear. In My Heart This Morning: 100 Days of Encouragement is that gentle reminder!
Without being heavy-handed, trite, or preachy, In My Heart This Morning is a gem that delivers keen, life-affirming and insightful nuggets of wisdom.
In these very challenging times, when it seems harder some days to find the light, In My Heart This Morning is a beacon!
