Public Speaking, Educations, Writing, Communications, World Travel

I have always been a magnet for meeting new people so I suppose you can say that I just became good at speaking to people, within 2001 I took a public speaking class that confirmed I had the skill. Writing on the other hand was my God given gift and outlet. I have written and published may books. World Travel is something that is still on my list to do with the people I love the most, my kids my family.
