Can loan pave way for 4-lane SR 56?

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

The money isn’t in anyone’s bank account yet, but a state loan program might be the solution to fund the widening of State Road 56 to four lanes from Wesley Chapel to Zephyrhills, according to a press release from State Rep. Danny Burgess and State Sen. John Legg.

The lawmakers, in consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation staffers, including Secretary Jim Boxold, are looking to the State Infrastructure Bank as a potential source for a low-interest loan.

The loan could be made to Pasco County for the cost of building additional traffic lanes.

The infrastructure bank provides loans and other assistance to public or private entities for projects that qualify for aid under federal and state law.

To start the process moving, a letter of interest must be submitted by May 29 for the loan to be included in the bank’s 2016 cycle.

“This is a much needed project,” said Burgess. “It’s important for economic growth to our area, a benefit that affects all

of Pasco and all of the region.”

County officials plan to meet with state officials on April 16 to get details on how the loan would work.

“We’re still in early stages of exploring this,” said David Goldstein, Pasco’s assistant county attorney.

To many, the four-lane extension is a decade-long unfulfilled promise.

“I’m afraid if we let this go by now, it will be another decade,” said Charles Proctor, president of the Zephyrhills City Council and a long-time Zephyrhills’ business owner.

Current plans are to extend State Road 56 from Meadow Pointe Boulevard in Wiregrass Ranch to U.S. 301 in Zephyrhills, as a two-lane road. Even for this two-lane See SR 56, page 9A

Hospital CEO details expansion plans

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

It’s less than three years old, but Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel is already experiencing growing pains.

Denyse Bales-Chubb, president/CEO of Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel shared details of the hospital’s $78 million expansion plans at the April 7 breakfast of the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Wesley Chapel’s growth is fueling the need for the hospital’s expansion, BalesChubb told the gathering at the conference center at Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch. About 90 people were registered for the breakfast.

The hospital executive cited six new housing developments going in, totaling more than 5,000 houses.

“I’m hearing that Raymond James is going to be building here,” she added.

She continued ticking down the list.

“We had the Super Walmart that went in,

“We need to make sure that we are growing and meeting the needs of this community,” Bales-Chubb added.

To prepare for increased demand, the hospital began last November to start developing plans for expansion.

The project that is set to begin construction in August will add 62 new private patient rooms, 17 emergency rooms, four surgical suites, 16 prep and observation rooms, and ancillary services to support patient care.

The hospital’s current three-story center wing will grow taller — becoming a sixfloor building when the expansion work is done. A new three-story building will be See EXPANSION, page 9A

leged that Reed built additional tracks that didn't have county approval.

The commission voted on April 8 to approve a new permit as well as a settlement agreement to end the litigation. A special magistrate will have authority to mediate future disputes between Reed and his neighbors.

“We think this is a great solution, so we won’t keep having these problems,” said attorney Barbara Wilhite, who represents Reed and his wife Ellie Jo Reed. The Reeds are trustees for the Reed Children Trust, the property’s owner of record.

The total property is about 63 acres, with about 24 acres developed as a racing compound. All tracks are outdoors but include two replicas of indoor tracks as well as two buildings and a go-kart track.

Not every neighbor is happy with the outcome.

Karol Klein brought a petition with 150 signatures of people asking commissioners to deny the permit. He said about 40 of those people lived in proximity to the Reed's property.

Daniel Cox, the attorney for Klein and his wife, told commissioners the tracks are not compatible with the “little gentleman farms” within the rural setting.

Duck Lake Canal resident Ken Keith is among those who opposed the permit. “He (Reed) just comes there to cause a loud disturbance with his motorcycles,” he said.

But Darwin Croft said he lives within 800 feet of the Reeds and has no problem with the couple. A property owner should be able to do most anything he wants on his property, Croft said.

“If I stop and think about motorcycles…I can hear them,” he said. “It’s not an obnoxious sound. It’s motorcycles.”

Zephyrhills author is a natural at telling stories Free hearing screenings available for infants

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Some readers like religious stories.

Others enjoy a good mystery.

Still others might be drawn to a tale of light romance.

All of them would find something in Dede Hammond's newest book.

The Zephyrhills’ resident published "Open the Door to One Short Story After Another" late last year.

The book is a collection of diverse stories. Instead of picking one genre and filling the pages with a collection of similar stories, she has allowed different types of tales to be part of her latest work.

For Hammond, 76, writing has been a way to be creative since she was 10 years old.

"My dad said I had a vast imagination, so I figured I'd better use it," she said.

That imagination led to her short story collection, as well as her first book, 2013's "With the Best of Intentions."

Neither book was done to fill a need to be a published author. Hammond was a feature writer for a newspaper in New York, before she retired to Florida.

She wrote the book because she wanted to put her stories in one place for her children, rather than them having to dig through her filing cabinets to read them.

"Julie (her daughter) always wanted to have the stories, and she thought I'd just put it on a disk," Hammond explained. "I thought, she doesn't want that file in there full of stories when I pass on. And so I thought I'd just put them in a book."

As a result, she self-published "With the Best of Intentions" on Amazon, where it's available as a physical book and in their Kindle e-book format. "Open the Door" is also available on Amazon in physical book format. And, there's enough unpublished material for at least one more book.

And that’s even if she didn’t write anything else.

Sertoma Speech & Hearing Foundation of Florida Inc., is helping Florida children to get the hearing help they need through its Sertoma’s Children’s Hearing Help Fund.

The nonprofit hosts annual events to raise necessary funds to help families that cannot afford to have hearing screenings done for their children.

Children can be saved from a world of isolation through contributions that support Sertoma’s effort. The organization will pay for infant hearing screenings throughout the state, according to a news release from the organization.

Sertoma encourages parents to bring their child in for a screening, even if they have just a concern about the child’s ability to hear.

Hearing loss affects three out of 1,000 newborns and is the No. 1 birth defect in the state.

Hearing loss affects language development, academic performance and cognitive development, according to Sertoma’s release.

Loaner hearing aids will allow these children the opportunity to hear the voice of their loved ones.

The easiest way to support this program is to donate $1 on your driver’s license and motor vehicle registration renewal. Just “check the box” and support Sertoma’s Children’s Hearing Help Fund (CHHF).

Early detection and intervention is vital for an infant to have the opportunity to access speech and other sounds for learning and brain development.

If an infant is not startled by a loud noise, or doesn’t respond to his or her name, that may be a sign of hearing loss. If they don’t seem to hear a dog barking, that may be another sign.

The mission of the Sertoma Speech & Hearing Foundation of Florida is to “enhance individual potential and quality of life through improved hearing.”

Dede Hammond has filing cabinets full of stories, but many of them can now be found in her books, including ‘Open the Door to One Short Story After Another,’ which came out last December.

But she’s still writing.

In fact, Hammond runs a regular writing group that includes people who are working on biographies and other types of stories.

One of the regulars is her husband of 28 years, Gordon. He's published his own collection of essays that blend humor and political views. He's a fan of his wife's stories, and prefers one genre in particular.

"I like the mystery stories that she writes. They have an 'O. Henry' ending," he said, referring to the turn-of-the-century author known for his surprise endings.

Although "Open the Door" contains different types of stories, they do have some things in common: None of them have cursing or explicit adult content. Hammond likes to create what she calls "safe" stories that keep the reader engaged with interesting plots and perhaps an unexpected twist

at the end, but are safe for just about anyone to read.

Many of the stories were originally printed in magazines, and many are a testament to the author’s persistence.

"I sent 23 to Woman's World before the 24th one was accepted," she recalls.

Now there are plenty of "safe" stories for the Hammonds and their four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren to enjoy. And with a growing collection of stories and several still unpublished, there should be more to come.

"I like to share the stories with people, to tell you the truth," Hammond said. "I never thought about making money. That wasn't the point."

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

Industry audit proves our papers are well-read

By Diane Kortus Publisher

When you look down your street every Wednesday and see The Laker/Lutz News in its blue newspaper bag, our hope is that you’ll pick it up to find useful information, compelling photographs and interesting stories.

At the same time, we aim to deliver advertising that helps readers find out about local goods and services that help businesses in our community to thrive.

So, every year we look forward to the results of a report produced by the Circulation Verification Council, known in the industry as the CVC, to see how we’re doing.

This year’s results show that nearly four out of five households receiving our newspaper read it, and 78 percent of readers use the advertising to help plan their purchasing decisions.

Those findings are based on a statistically valid survey that CVC conducts to find out if The Laker/Lutz News is being delivered, what people think about their community paper, and how readers use it.

The CVC is an independent, third-party reporting firm that verifies the number of papers we print and deliver each quarter, and breaks down our circulation by zip code. It also calculates the number of papers we deliver to homes compared to the number that are distributed via newspaper racks and businesses.

We do not pay for this audit — CVC is hired by newspaper associations to audit the circulation of their 3,000 member newspapers in the U.S. and Canada.

The audit covers printing, distribution, circulation, websites, digital editions, mobile, email, social media and readership studies to give an accurate picture of a publication’s reach and market penetration.

“We run our business the same way as financial auditors and auditors of all other media,” said CVC founder and president Tim Bingaman. “There’s no power of influence because publishers do not pay us directly for our services — we are totally impartial and just report the facts.”

So what did CVC report from this year’s audit of The Laker/Lutz News?

The report found that: • 80 percent of those responding said that they, or someone in their home, regularly read or look through our paper (compared to the CVC average of 74 percent).

• Our average number of readers per paper (pass-along rate) is 1.95 (compared to the CVC average of 1.75).

• 78 percent said they frequently pur-

chase products or services from local business ads seen in our papers (compared to the CVC average of 74 percent).

• 85 percent of our distribution is home delivery, and 15 percent is through news boxes and business outlets.

Our average circulation in 2014 was 42,600 divided among our four editions in Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel and East Pasco.

CVC’s Tim Bingaman said the most impressive aspect of our audit is that we’ve achieved these above-average results yearafter-year in a highly competitive suburban market.

“Typically, when a newspaper scores so well, it’s in a rural market where it is the only paper in town. For your newspapers to be doing so well puts you at the elite status among all the papers we audit,” said Bingaman.

Bingaman also gave us kudos for increasing our readership scores every year since 2010. Back then, our readership score was 72 percent; today it is 80 percent.

“To increase your readership by 8 percent in such a short time frame is truly remarkable and indicative that you are doing a very good job listening to your readers and giving them the content they want to read,” said Bingaman.

These are impressive numbers, especially today when so many people falsely believe that nobody reads newspapers anymore. In fact, we know that they do, and are proud to be one of the best-read community papers in the country.

I know this column may seem boastful and self-serving, and I suppose in some ways it is. But I want you to know how good it feels to head up a business whose industry report card is far above average. I am incredibly proud of my staff and want you to know that.

I’m also very proud of our community, which consists of thousands of people just like you, who care so much about their neighbors and neighborhoods that they read their community paper every week.

Not all communities are so engaged, and it is gratifying to produce newspapers that so many of you rely on to help our local organizations and businesses to thrive.

These facts for The Laker/Lutz News that were unveiled by our audit are something our entire community can be proud of. After all, without the community supporting us through their readership and advertising dollars, there would not be a community newspaper in your driveway every Wednesday.

The words “thank you” do not suffice to express our gratitude for your continued readership and support, but I hope you realize that our appreciation is heartfelt.

be Centennial Road.

Both cities rely on multiple public wells to supply residents and businesses with drinking water drawn from the Floridan aquifer system. Zephyrhills draws most of its water supply from wells permitted within the Hillsborough River Groundwater Basin, with some water also from a small portion within the Withlacoochee River Basin.

The Southwest Florida Management District is the state agency that issues water use permits. Currently the Hillsborough River basin is on the agency’s list of “areas of water resource concern.”

Dade City’s permitted wells are within the Withlacoochee basin.

“Hillsborough is definitely more restricted,” said Gordon Onderdonk, Dade City’s utilities director.

The long-range strategy of a unified water system traces back to the East Pasco

Water Coalition, which was founded in 2009 through an interlocal agreement with Zephyrhills, Dade City, St. Leo and San Antonio. Onderdonk said the group meets about twice a year.

Predictions then were for demand to exceed water supply within 20 years.

Swiftmud records show demand is high, but municipalities have reduced overall water usage in the last five to 10 years. Water restrictions, including limited lawn watering, and reclaimed water programs are among reasons for the decrease.

But as the economy recovers, developers are eyeing new projects that could add to water demand.

“There’s a lot of talk about (development) along U.S. 301,” Bostic said.

If it materializes, Zephyrhills and Dade City officials say linking their water systems will be a good backup.

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Plans in Pinellas are to reopen and rebrand former Apsco Appliance Centers, which were acquired in a bankruptcy.

Famous Tate of New Tampa Inc., purchased the 1.5-acre vacant lot by Walmart in March from Tarpon Springs-based Hagman Properties for slightly more than $1 million, according to Pasco County records.

The company, which was founded in 1954, has nine current locations including stores in Pasco at 5419 Village Market in Wesley Chapel, and at 8010 Grand Blvd., in

Port Richey. There are about 250 employees.

Walmart and the County Line Commons shopping plaza are located in a pie-shaped plat of land between U.S. 41 and North Dale Mabry Highway, with entrances off both roadways. Horst said a vacant lot on the North Dale Mabry side was considered, but the entry from U.S. 41 seemed the better option.

“It seemed easier to get in and out,” Horst said. “It’s busier and has more local traffic.”

Cellphone donations aim to help kids The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

When children are removed from their homes by the state of Florida because of neglect or abuse, they are assigned a Guardian ad Litem.

Children who are wards of the state are unlikely to have cellphones, which can cast them into the role of being a social leper because they are unable to connect to their peers through texting, Facebook and other social media.

That’s where a program called E C Call Home comes in.

This program provides cellphones to children who have become guardians of the state.

The Perfect 10 Charity created E C Call Home to give these kids the opportunity to stay connected with their peers through their cellphones.

The charity is asking local groups, clubs, churches and charities to collect used cellphones or smartphones and chargers.

The donated phones will be scrubbed clean of personal data by Computers Etc., in Dade City.

The refurbished phones will be distributed by your local Guardian ad Litem to the children as needed.

PHSC provides disabled students ‘Access to Success’

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

College students who are disabled often require special accommodations in order to get through their coursework in the pursuit of a degree. It seems like a given that they’d receive those accommodations.

And they do, if they have the proper documentation. Normally that means assessment testing from a specialist in the field of their disability, which can be an expensive process.

“It’s very rarely covered by insurance. It’s a big chunk of change for students going to school,” said Sarah Brunet, assistant coordinator of disability services at Pasco-Hernando State College. That chunk of change can run several hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

That’s why PHSC established Access to Success, a grant program that provides assistance to students with disabilities who have trouble paying for their assessment testing, which is required under the Americans With Disabilities Act. And with a growing disabled student population, the department is trying a new fundraiser to provide resources for that grant.

Their Run, Walk, Roll 5K will take place April 26 at the college’s Porter Campus, 2727 Mansfield Blvd., in Wesley Chapel.

They’re hoping for 100 participants in its first year, and the money raised will make a big difference to disabled students trying to further their college career.

“This gives them those accommodations to kind of level the playing field, to be as successful as their peers would be,” Brunet explained. The accommodations are specific to the disability, such as large-print course

to do their best without them and hope it’s enough.

One of the frustrating parts of her job, Brunet explained, is not being able to help everyone, knowing it can have an effect on their future.

“It makes you wonder, what happens to that student? I wonder if they were able to get through that class or finish up,” she said.

The Office of Disabilities Services hopes to make the 5K an annual event, and keep funds in the grant’s coffers. The college already has hundreds of students with disabilities on its rolls, and will add PHOTO COURTESY OF PASCO-HERNANDO STATE COLLEGE more as enrollment continStudents with disabilities can participate in study groups and succeed in their classes, but they might need ues to grow.

As recently as mid-March, all five Zephyrhills’ council members, Mayor Gene Whitfield and City Manager Steve Spina project, money is an issue because land headed to Tallahassee to lobby for four lanes from adjacent landowners must be pur- as a priority for State Road 56. chased for right-of-way.

Department of Transportation. “She ran

with it,” he said.

Since then the county has had ongoing discussions with developers and property owners whose land could bring thousands more homes as well as retail and industrial development to the area. Among the largest land tracts is the Two Rivers Ranch with about 3,500 acres. About half of the 6.7mile extension would cut through the ranch.

“The county is not interested in putting a lot of money into this. It’s a state road,” Goldstein said. “There are a lot of other priorities. If there is a loan, we expect developers to pay it back. We might be a conduit.”

Before the Pasco commission can sign off on anything, Goldstein said there are a lot of details that must be worked out including how much money would be needed, terms of the loan and, most impor-

tantly, who would be responsible for the payback.

Spina applauded the new effort to find a solution.

“I think it’s pretty inventive of them to come up with an idea like this to find the money,” he said.

It makes more sense, Spina said, to do four lanes now and not wait five or more years when the project likely would be more costly.

Proctor envisions a major economic boost to the area’s commercial development if the four-lane road is built. He has heard from business owners who would like to locate in Zephyrhills and surrounding areas and from owners who would consider expanding operations, if there was an improved road for getting in and out of the city.

“I see nothing but positive,” Proctor said.

cause not everybody checks out at 11 o’clock, like you do at a hotel. It is a constant moving of patients, in and out,” she said.

The hospital’s emergency room is busy, too.

The emergency room has 18 beds, and as of December, year to date, each of those beds had 1,880 visits.

“So, that’s busy,” Bales-Chubb said. “We have a lot of patients going through our ED.” Stan Giannet, provost at the Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch, said the college already enjoys a solid relationship with the hospital, and the expansion will likely provide even more opportunities for students at his campus.

The hospital donates to the college’s scholarship fund for students in health oc-

cupations, he said. It also provides opportunities for clinical placements.

“Clinical placements are incredibly important for our students to apply the theoretical classroom knowledge to the real world,” Giannet said. “Having clinical placements already at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel has been very fruitful for students, and we’re grateful for that.”

The hospital’s expansion bodes well for graduates from Porter Campus, Giannet added, because it creates more employment opportunities for students graduating from its nursing, surgical technology and pharmacy technician programs.

Rodriguez pitches into PHSC’s record books

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco-Hernando State College pitcher Danny Rodriguez now has the most wins in school history after pitching PHSC’s first nohitter last year.

The pitcher is excited to talk about some big accomplishments.

“It was the best thing I’ve ever experienced in baseball,” Rodriguez said.

But he’s not describing his personal accomplishments, such as the no-hitter or setting the school wins record. He’s talking about a team accomplishment: The school’s trip to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II World Series last year, where they finished fourth in the nation.

Rodriguez is known as a team player, so that’s his focus.

But when asked about his own personal records, he’s more subdued.

“It’s nice. It doesn’t concern me as much as winning regionals and getting to the World Series,” he said.

While setting the record isn’t that big of a deal to Rodriguez, the Conquistadors have used those victories to full advantage, reaching a spot in last year’s World Series during his 10-win season. His current 8-2 record also has helped the team to qualify for their regional tournament next month.

Steve Winterling, who coaches Rodriguez, said the pitcher doesn’t rely on just one kind of pitch to get out of tough situations.

“Anybody can throw a fastball, but you’ve got to have the other pitches,” Winterling said. “He has those, and he throws them with confidence.”

That confidence didn’t come from his senior season in high school. He was a middle infielder and had just one pitching start, with 10 innings of work, in his final year at Steinbrenner High School. Though he had pitched more the year before, and got in more work with his travel ball team, Rodriguez never took pitching lessons.

Instead, he would teach himself pitches, going over them until they felt right. He

learned his curveball when he was young and added the slider in high school. He just got his change-up working last year.

That steady progress has made him a versatile weapon for Winterling, and one he used in different situations last year.

He became a regular starter about halfway through that season, yet still racked

up 10 victories and developed a reputation for being calm and collected on the mound.

“I never really stress about the outcome.

I just try to do my thing each pitch and with each batter,” Rodriguez said.

While he’s serene on the baseball field, he admits that’s not always the case when he’s off it.

He’s more of an animated guy, and lets his enthusiasm show.

On the pitching mound, though, he displays a calm presence, and doesn’t let the pressure of a tough situation rattle him.

“I like being in control and taking the pressure,” he said.

Other schools are taking notice of his control as well.

Rodriguez will have plenty of opportunities to continue his collegiate baseball career, and is already fielding offers from schools both in and out of Florida. He hasn’t made a decision yet, but said that the University of West Florida in Pensacola is a front-runner.

Beyond, there’s the possibility of a professional career.

If Rodriguez keeps the momentum going through his senior season, his numbers will be tough for scouts to ignore, Winterling said. It wouldn’t be much of a risk for a team to take a chance on a proven winner.

“The guy throws strikes and gets outs.

What more can you ask for?” Winterling said.

Rodriguez said he’d try his hand at professional baseball “in a heartbeat,” but he’s not counting on that career path.

He’s studying business, and wants to make sure he has a useful degree to continue his winning ways, even if it’s not with a baseball in his hand.

For now, Rodriguez is focused on finishing the season strong and winning the regional tournament to take another crack at World Series play.

The team has fixed some of its weaknesses from last year and should be able to compete in the postseason, he said.

“As a team, we have more pitching, and defensively we’re better,” he said. “That’s really the two that we needed.”

While the coach also puts team goals over individual ones, he’s glad to see the school’s win record go to a deserving player like Rodriguez.

“He’s a team guy,” Winterling said. “You can’t ask for a better person to be a rep (for the team) on the baseball field.”

Chillin’ with some old time music The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

I

FRED BELLET/PHOTOS

Fifty-three year old John Shannon, of Arcadia, played ‘I’ll Fly Away’ and ‘Old Folks Music-Suwanee River’ amidst a web of microphones on the front porch of the Overstreet House at the Florida Pioneer Museum & Village. The porch of the home built in the 1860s was an appropriate setting for the festival’s stage.

Although registered to sing in the men’s vocal competition, Steve McClure, of Tampa, was ready to sit in with any musician who wanted accompaniment at the Old Time Music Competition.

f you enjoy music, especially the old-fashioned kind, the Florida Old Time Music Championship at the Florida Pioneer Museum & Village in Dade City was the place to be last week.

About 200 people turned out for the annual competition, which features the kind of music that would have been played during Florida’s early days.

Old time music is a genre of North American folk music that contains elements from the European countries from which the settlers came.

The music is created with such instruments as the fiddle, guitar and banjo.

Jeff Miller, right, of Hudson warms up before he, Ed Yelle of Brooksville and 92-year old Harold Thomas take the stage at the Florida Old Time Music Championship. The festival was at the Florida Pioneer Museum & Village in Dade City.

Waiting to go on stage was Dade City’s own, 92-year-old Harold Thomas, on the right. Along with Thomas are Linda Yelle, seated on the bench, and in the back standing are Jeff Miller, of Hudson, and Ed Yelle, of Brooksville.

The staircase of the 1860s Overstreet House frames Don Polly, of Tavares, who played his rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ and the William Tell Overture on his harmonica. Polly, 77, has been playing harmonica since he was 8. Prize ribbons were nearby for the first night of the competition. Judges for the festival were handpicked.

The Overstreet House was the appropriate stage for the first night of the Old Time Music Championship at the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village in Dade City.

LOCAL WILDLIFE

Look twice when visiting Lettuce Lake Park

Helena Dolk Tucker, of Lutz, took these photos at Lettuce Lake Park, off Fletcher Avenue in Tampa. Tucker said it’s an interesting place to visit, with lots of wildlife and vegetation, and even if you are looking at twisted tree limbs, it may be a while before you realize that what looks like an old tire is actually an alligator. The white ibis usually stands out among the trees.

Sweet and cuddly Ashton is a 7-year-old mixed breed. He is very mellow and sweet. If you’re looking for a dog that loves cuddles and kisses, Ashton is your boy.

I am a holistic wellness facilitator, using my gifts of discernment, intuition and the Japanese form of healing energy called Reiki, to create accelerated results of healing without drugs.

Treating my clients holistically means treating the whole person. As a certified Life Coach, I help you discover what your dreams and goals are and create a doorway in which you can achieve the joy filled life and abundance that you long for and deserve.
