A Must Read: Joanne's Book

A Hollywood producer's journey from the glitz of the film industry to the soil of a revolutionary senior village. Does aging mean fading away, or is it a call to step into your most significant season of service? In G3 & me, Joanne Kraemer Hickox shares a powerful, often humorous, and deeply moving memoir of a life surrendered to God's unpredictable blueprint. From a childhood on a Canadian farm to the high-stakes world of Hollywood accounting and production, Joanne's story is a testament to the fact that God never wastes a single experience. After surviving earthquakes, a grueling bankruptcy, and personal family health crises, Joanne found herself at the end of a dock in Jacksonville, Florida, crying out for direction. What followed was a 27-year mission that has transformed the lives of thousands of older adults—proving that seniors aren't "needy"; they are needed.

• The "FAT" Principle: How being Faithful, Available, and Teachable opens doors to miraculous provisions.


• The Birth of a Vision: How a simple "Mission Trip" for four seniors evolved into a movement that has generated over $4 million in community value.


• The G3 Village Concept: A revolutionary look at the future of senior living—moving away from "warehousing" the elderly and toward intentional, regenerative, intergenerational communities of purpose.


• Hope for the "Forgotten Middle": A battle cry for modest-to-moderate income seniors who deserve dignity, community, and a reason to wake up every morning.

Whether you are a senior looking for your next calling, a non-profit leader seeking inspiration, or a "Legacy Champion" ready to help build a better future, G3 & me will challenge you to stop waddling like a turkey and start soaring like an eagle. "He has a plan for us, for good, not for evil, to give us a future and hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)
