Featured Episode
It's not very often that you have third graders who I think are like eight and nine year olds who are in the same exhibit as adults who have made art their profession. And so it's that piece that I think side by side helps bring to the world is that we all have a special gift, and if we're leaving out that creativity piece in education, then we're missing something.
I think for me, I tried to keep it a part of my life and it's, it hasn't always worked out, but I try my best to keep that balance.
I had several women that had lost their husbands. Their husbands handled all their financial matters, and so it was new to them. Being there to support them through that process was very, it was rewarding to me because I felt that I could be a support, I could be there as a resource and help them through what usually for some people is a very scary situation when it comes to taxes.
