What else ...
You will understand this when you meet me.
I have been told by my friends that I have been given a special gift. That gift is the ability to unite people and communities. I am able to build relationships very rapidly. I have friends all over the world from my traveling experiences. These are not just "social media" friends. Rather, people who I talk to regularly. People who I have connected with and we have care and respect for each other.
I can bring that gift to your community!
