Reading, Gardening, My pets, Learning new skills, Listening to my client's stories about their lives

I love reading about history.  I come from Canada but have always had a love of reading about the Old South.  I also like reading about nature, plants, and animals.

Gardening is a release for me.  I love my flowers and love to put my hands in the dirt. I enjoy growing vegetables as this gives me a sense of providing something for my family, friends, and neighbors.  

I love my 3 cats and have had many pets throughout the years.  I love animals. They give me a great sense of love and joy! I feel the need to protect and care for all of our creation.

My clients come from all areas of life.  I have great communication with all of them.  I like listening about their lives, past and present as I feel that I have so much to learn from them.  And who doesn't love a great story right?
