I am so thankful for ALL of you!!! My life is perfect with you in it. I thank the Lord for you everyday, ESPECIALLY today! To celebrate Thanksgiving, I’ve decided to do 30% off the entire products page on my website. Use this code, DWJHOLIDAY2018, and stock up on all the lessons that you’ve put off learning…
DetailsA couple of weeks ago I visited Washington Island, which is the northernmost tip of Door County, Wisconsin. It's only accessible by a half hour ferry ride. The locals are very friendly, and I talked to a lot of them when I was up there. It fascinates me that only 710 people live there year-round.…
DetailsThere’s nothing like a wedding to make a mother get all teary-eyed!! My daughters are both in their 20’s, and my older one, Jessica, is getting married this Saturday in her “new” (since grad school) hometown of Louisville, KY, to the most perfect man in the world for her, David Henry. Want to attend? The wedding…
DetailsI've been guilty of staying in my own bubble for most of my life. I pay attention to my home, my family, and my work. I'm content dealing with those areas. I'm not the only one who does this; everyone has a bubble, even though life is much bigger. Long ago I noticed all…
DetailsLately, you have heard me encourage you to “Dance With Janet” at this or that event. As a group, we have performed for an audience as well as line danced for fun at concerts. Why have I asked you to do this? Why perform, anyway? If you have ever mentally or physically shaken your head at me…
DetailsWell hello!! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Even I run low on things to say sometimes. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. 😉 I’ve had a wonderful problem of more requests for small group classes than I can possibly handle alone. Thankfully, I have a solid group of trained instructors ready and…
DetailsWinter sure has lasted FOREVER…but Spring is on its way!! Before we know it, it’ll be concert season. We have the BEST country bands in Chicagoland, and we could be dancing outside to live bands every day of the week if we wanted to – and some of us do! In order to encourage…
DetailsWhen Denny and I went to Alaska a couple of weeks ago, I was struck by the differences – in our environment, culture, personalities, everything! I’ve always known people are different; it just REALLY hit home, being in The Last Frontier. Look at Denny with Julie’s teenage sons, Benjamin and Joshua, pictured above. The boys…
DetailsMy "bestie", Julie, lives in ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, and since I had most of this upcoming week off due to the (cancelled) cruise of 2018, I decided to take advantage of the time off and run away to somewhere warm. Warm at heart, that is…although it looks like The Final Frontier will be above zero next…
DetailsHere we are facing New Year’s Eve again – TOMORROW. Where does the time go? I’m still amazed at how quickly time flies. That fact constantly reminds me to appreciate the moment I’m in, and live each day as well as I can. I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions, as I fail at them…
