Ms. Jeanie's
BioI was born in
Bonne Terre, Missouri a long time ago. I have lived in Texas most
of the time growing up w/th 3 siblings and 2 parents. I have
an older brother, younger brother and sister. My dad died a year
ago and my mom lives in Ft. Worth with my brother and
family.
My husband, James
L. and I have 3 grown children. James L. is a financial
consultant and radio personality. Our oldest daughter, Mary and
husband Jason live in Houston and work for energy companies.
Our middle son, James A. lives in Brownwood and plays
guitar. Our youngest son John and his wife, Sarah live in
Dallas. John is an accountant and Sarah is a civil engineer. Mary,
Jason, John and Sarah all graduated from Texas
A&M.
As a teacher, I
have taught elementary school in Texas, Nebraska, and Iowa. I have
also been a clinical social worker and got a Master's Degree in
Counseling Education. I am a Texas Licensed Professional
Counselor. For some years I was the Clinical Director here at
the ranch and also maintained a private therapy
practice.
In my free time,
I love to eat ethnic foods with my family, do yoga and
meditate,read wonderful books, pretend to be an interior
decorator, sew and create things and #1 travel in the summers
to anywhere in the world that I haven't been yet. This summer
I hope to travel in China.
Along with
others, it was my dream to see a school on the ranch that met the
unique needs of our population. It is deeply gratifying to
see that dream coming true. It is my hope and dream that our
students will learn to love learning and continue for a
lifetime. I look forward to seeing all that will happen
in the years ahead.
Things I know for
sure:
I live in a
great country and am grateful everyday for the sacrifices that
others have made for my freedom.
Nature's beauty
is one of the most underappreciated gifts from God.
I can learn
millions of valuable lessons from the animal kingdom.
If I never
try, I fail 100% of the time. It doesn't matter if I
win or lose, it matters how hard I try!!!
Humor can be a
best friend.
The love of a
loyal dog is a truely great gift.
A child's love
is in a class above all others.
Love matters
more than everything else----------and lasts forever.
