Glad you found me, have you checked out Q-Alias? My pal Charles Fellingham developed it - Talk about WOW factor!

I'm in the Shipping Business. My business is to develop and nurture RelationShips, FriendShips and PartnerShips. And doing that adds up to LeaderShip.

My Mentor, John Milton Fogg  http://greatestnetworker.com/  taught me that.

He calls it his formula to "Get Rich Slow" and I gotta tell ya it just might be the quickest way of all.

So, come on in, sit down grab your favorite beverage, don't ya think something to drink, coffee, tea, water or wine just goes with getting to know someone? Works for me.

Now if we were face-to-face I'd be asking you a bunch of questions - just a curious child -

Where do you live now? Where are you from? Are you married? Do you have kids? Pets? What do you love about where you are living? What do you like to do for fun?

Oh and a lot more cause every one of your answers would inspire more questions.

 I was born and raised in Chicago, in the City, on the South Side, Bridgeport, Mayor Daley's (the old man!) neighborhood, home to Sox Park - http://www.chicago.com/neighborhoods/Bridgeport/

Once I was old enough to make decisions like where to live for myself I moved to the North Side. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Park,_Chicago

Married my husband 22 years ago in a Buddhist ceremony at Myogyoji Temple.

We have one child an amazing young woman soon to be 21 and a student at Life University in Marietta, Georgia.

She'll be a Chiropractor in a few years and we'll have free adjustments for life and it will only have cost us $200,000!

In addition to Chicago we have lived in Albuquerque, http://www.cabq.gov/

South Florida, Pembroke Pines, http://www.ppines.com/ 

North Florida, Jacksonville Beach, http://www.jacksonvillebeach.org/ 

and now Atlanta, http://www.atlanta.net/ 

right in the heart of the city http://www.inmanpark.org/ and we're loving it.

The most fun I've ever had was last summer, we took a 6 month, 15,000 mile road trip! 35 cities and dozens of wonderful people. The whole time we had to get a room (motel, b&b etc) only for ten nights, though we did get very good at bringing hostess gifts and picking up dinner checks.

We were able to do this thanks to my internet based greeting card business (please note although this is an online biz the cards are real greeting cards delivered by the PostOffice, not e-cards!)

Here's a YouTube about a card I sent to some little buddies of mine in New Zealand
