I am amazed by the reactions from my fans for “Hear” I Am!!  They have really felt inspired to make major changes in their lives.  I used introspective questioning to help people feel that they can change jobs, get through an illness, death or divorce or positive things such as getting married, graduating from college etc.

In turn/ I felt very supported by my fans when my husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and how he is a very strong person and conquered the cancer!  I feel blessed that I am able to reach out to people with and without disabilities to have self-growth! Also, our pets can bring a sense of humor and special touch in our lives as well. My Sheltie, Lightening and I, love to work on agility which helps my balance from the vertigo. He loves to give hugs and kisses to everyone he meets.  He will bark and alter me if someone is at the door or to help me hear sounds that I have missed.  He taught my friend who has cancer that dogs can give hugs to cheer people up as well! I also give thanks to my family and friends who are very supportive of my problems and goals! It is, so crucial to allow one to give and receive from others!
