Gr8reader's story began when she was born the youngest of 3 with the greenest of eyes, fairest of skin, reddest of hair & deepest of dimples. (Nurses paraded her up & down the floor to show her off.) Early on Gr8reader showed a sincere & compassionate soul being thoughtful, giving & quite loyal. Caring about others she developed a keen ability to give benefit of doubt, looking at "both sides of the coin" in all situations. This gave Gr8reader great perspective & insight. Others seek her out as she is easy to talk to, a good listener & quite insightful. G8reader's garden has had some thorns among its roses. However, she has used the cuts from them to grow stronger. Others have admired her strength as well as her ability to come out of the darkest storm with her dimples showing. Gr8reader also cultivated her natural ability to work with children. It has taken her into her professional life. To this day, Gr8reader spends her workdays helping children with special needs to develop their communication skills. Gr8reader enjoys her work & finds that she gets as much from "her kids" as she gives them. Life has shown Gr8reader to blossom into a unique individual who possesses all the qualities she showed in her youth along with a clever (sometimes sarcastic) wit & a sense of humor (including the ability to laugh at herself). She has learned to appreciate all that life brings and to enjoy things both large & small. Gr8reader enjoys music, going to the theater, movies, the beach (off season), long walks and more.......hanging with friends and is an avid reader with eclectic tastes in what she reads. Alas and alac, she is still in search of a leading man to help her finish writing her own story. :)
