"Shine In The Moon" is a delightful work taking the listener on a wonderful journey. "Whispered Prayer" and "Where I Belong" give an insight into the challenge that delayed Janet's finishing this project.
On December 12, 2005, days after recording the first four tracks, Janet suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a spontaneous bleed between the brain and the skull. The next five days found her in the neurological ICU of Nashville's Baptist Hospital.
Her doctors credit her survival to her quick response and attention to what she knew was extremely serious. Although slower than Janet would have liked, her recovery was steady and she credits it to the love and support of her family and friends seeing her through this difficult and physically challenging time. Janet, herself is a caring, giving person, who in addition to writing and performing, enjoys working with young songwriters. Janet has volunteered her time at the W.O. Smith Community Music School and for many years has donated her time to the Country Music Foundation and Museum's songwriting program for school age students. I know she has been very encouraging to MaryJustice in her songwriting and singing pursuits. Thank you, Janet.

Janet was in Huntsville for a Jim Parker Songwriter Showcase recently and we got to meet Carson, "My All American Boy" who almost stole the show. 
In addition to all the things mentioned above, Janet does agility training and competition with her dogs which I think are all rescues.
"My All American Boy," AKA "The Agility Song," was played throughout the 2008 USDAA World Games in Scottsdale, AR.

If it's not playing click on the playlist and sample this great music, available from Janet's website, http://janetmclaughlinmusic.com/home.html. Whether a pedigreed pooch or a rescue mutt, those of you who LUV your dog may order a personalized copy of the song and Janet will add your special dog's name!
It was great meeting you, Janet (and Carson), and hope to see you again soon. May God continue to bless you and may all that you touch prosper!
