Port Author, TX - The birthplace of Janis Lyn Joplin, American singer, song writer and music arranger who was born on January 19, 1943 to Seth Joplin (1910-87), an engineer at Texaco, and Dorothy Joplin (1913-98), a registrar at a business college.

Marjorie Geiser, professional speaker states, that if alive today, Janis Joplin would be 67 years old and among the ranks of Willie Nelson or Mick Jaggar, still struttin' her stuff.

If you're not familiar with Janis Joplin, she was a popular rock singer in the late 1960s. She started as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company and eventually went off on her own. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Janis #46 of the 100 greatest artists of all time, and in 2008, they listed her as 28 of the 100 greatest singers of all time.

What was it about Janis that helped her gain this status? Was it her singing talent? Although Marjorie Geiser states that she is a HUGE fan, she would have to say no and that it was her passion! Marjorie quotes, "I'm not kidding when I say it was like watching lightening flash when she sang. She put everything she had into her performances".

If you have ever seen or heard Janis sing, you know she's unlike anyone else before or after her. She was an original. She was HERSELF. The message? Marjorie states, "Be yourself! Live big, risk big! The rewards generally are as big as the risk. If we don't risk in our lives, we won't see the results we dream of seeing".

What must YOU risk in order to live the life you imagine? If you are living that life right now, what's next??
