My name is Janis. I am a person first, homosapian to be exact. Then a woman, mother, friend, business-owner, student of life, etc... I have a large family- four children and one granddaughter who I raised. I am divorced, and have come to accept that there are some very basic things one cannot do for others, and that we all must do for ourselves. I co-owned a business for many years. I cannot learn enough. "The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowlege." Elbert Hubbard Some things I love learning about: Neurology and biology, Psychology, Anthropology, History, Politics, Wildlife, Sociology and Social Justice, etc... I also love animals, especially my poodles. I have lived in Iowa, Texas, and Omaha, and am thinking of freeing up some more time to travel within the next couple years.

Taking care of the life I've built. Working from home most of the time. Learning. Growing.

Understanding others. Listening. Getting things done. Keepin on Keepin on
