About Me

From left to right; Brian, Justine, Melodie, Travis and David

My name is Janet Ford. I am a 40 yr old woman living in Northern Michigan. I have been happily married to John for 13 yrs and the mother of three wonderful sons; Travis (22), David (20) and Brian (18). I am also a grandma to McKenna, who is fast approaching her first birthday.

Along with my husband, I raise and train coonhounds under the kennel name of Ironwood Coonhounds. I am the National Coonhound Examiner. I am also an author and freelance writer for other online publications. My largest writing portfolio can be found on ehow.com.

My Health

My journey to bariatric surgery is not for vanity. I have no delusions of reliving my days as a varsity cheerleader or having the body of a 20 yr old. I am choosing this path in my life because I want to live … and I want to be alive while I’m doing it.
