Please ask me if you have any concerns. * Please be kind and extend me the same courtesy and rate at your earliest convenience. * I'm not the kind to beg for acknowledgement but it would certainly be nice to know that you received your card or item. * I will never flake * I know it isn't required but please ask questions prior to a low rating. * I will do anything I can to rectify any issues there may be.

BOOKS I LIKE I don't have any favorite authors per se' because I don't normally read whole books. Don't get me wrong I read all the time, but I read articles online and I read excerpts of books because I have good intentions but I fall asleep and never seem to make it through them. :-) My favorite types of books would be Self Help, Entrepreneurial, Motivational and Travel.
