Very few people have interests in only one thing. We have multiple talents, hobbies, and interests… Why not share knowledge in a new and fun way? Why not let my own loud laughing light shine?… Information, advice, and a laugh. I am well trained in medicine, as well as the School of Hard Knocks when it comes to relationships and parenting. If I don’t have the answer, I know where to get it. Bonus: I have a song for every occasion and can make an imaginary microphone out of just about anything.
