Top 12 communication pet-peeves
I do my best to offer grace and understanding to folks — no matter where they are, what they’re doing or how they’re doing it.

Robert/Richard Gaines – who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence

“You should do what did when you were 5, because that’s what you really enjoy – that’s what you’re really passionate about.”
I twittered it yesterday, and got some fun responses on Facebook…
