    I found your “About” and your blog theme. Leadership and Life Coach is interesting, two life coach I know here just joined my Toastmasters club. There might be club near you (toastmasters.org) to investigate, especially if you do large events where you give keynotes.

      Aw…thanks for the lovely feedback about the blog. And LOL. Nope…I’m not sure I know who Patti Boyd is. I’ll need to do some research, but you know how profile pics are. We catch ourselves on a good hair day! 😉

        Ha-ha, me, I have no shame, there are plenty of bad hair pictures of me. I rarely have “good hair.” I have this hair that is fine, but a LOT of hair. It doesn’t know if it wants to be wavy or straight.
        Patti Boyd was a model in the 1960s. She married George Harrison and he wrote “Something” for her. Then she was with Eric Clapton and he wrote “Layla” and “Wonderful Tonight” for her. So, she’s a great person to look like! 😉

          Oh good grief! THAT Patti Boyd?!? You’re too kind. LOL! And I’m with you – I’ve got a ton of fine hair that has a wild mind of its own. 😜
