Acting manifested as the primary focus over the years but now I am stirring the pot once again with my voice.
However, I do firmly believe in maintaining the integrity of the animal.
I am both proud and honored to be on the Board of Directors for the Texas Ballet Theater.
I believe the breed should not be manipulated for man's taste to the point the genuineness of their breed is compromised.
I don't believe in messing with mother-nature too much.
I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.
I have always written poetry but I have never applied it to songwriting.
I have learned how to plant coastal hay, fertilize and bale it.
I just recently was graced by the talents of Phil Madeira from Nashville. We co-wrote a song together - which was a first for me.
I love to ride horses, hike in the woods with Juliette and appraise Longhorns.
I now have great color sprinkled throughout my herd.
I truly enjoy photography. It has always been my hobby and I have chronicled my travels through the eyes of the lens.
I wrote my children's book because I believe there are children that are hurting and may need to know that there is love out there for them- God's love.
I, also, found the opportunity to work with the actors extremely gratifying and rewarding.
In 2003, I had the pleasure of acting in three films.
Longhorns are unique - each and every one of them is a different color with a different design.
Longhorns traveled the Chisholm Trail.
My desire is to be a forgiving, non-judgmental person.
My desire is to let go of my ego and let in His direction.
My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
My desire is to walk with God every day.
My Longhorns are registered and I am a member of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association.
The first purchase I made after Northern Exposure was picked up for fifty episodes was a pick up truck and a horse.
The ranch was raw land when I bought it and, for better or worse, I have designed every aspect of it from the corrals, the arena, to the barn, to the house.
The second purchase was my ranch, Mockingbird Hill. The third purchase was Longhorn cattle.
Thus, during the winter of 2003 I ventured into a new arena as a professional photographer.
You can take the girl out of Texas but not the Texas out of the girl and ultimately not the girl out of Texas.
Janine just wrote her first song with the talented songwriter, singer, musician, producer Phil Madeira as she prepares to launch her singing career.
