Every problem is a gift—without problems we would not grow.

I love to read and help others.

I love to read Mysteries, Romance, Biographies and Autobiographies. I also like to try out new authors.

I like helping people meet their personal goals through problem solving. I keep trying until we both have come up with one or more solutions.
