Since I was in junior high, I have been frequently told that I have a good since of humor. Yet, my fears, anxiety s d long term depression have stopped me from doing public speaking (which I did in my 30s as part of a past work requirement). Good Luck!

Kathy Ireland helping me find measuring cups in the local kitchenware shop, while I help her find the ramekins. Just two regular, busy gals shopping on a Saturday morning. Ta!)
