Intro. Have you ever done those management tests where they look at your work style ….. well I’m always equally balanced on everything. So I’m not one thing more than another. I am a BALANCED person. Equally balanced in my mind, heart and soul. I think it’s because I’ve read so much in my life. My mission in life is to “make people think!” I believe in the power of the right idea at the right time. I have a gift for telling stories.
