Bio
Hey, All! I'm Rayni. I would describe myself as an "Optimistic Realist" and someone who can have a conversation with anyone I meet. I'm genuinely interested in people's well-being and what they've got to say.  I believe that laughter is powerful; failure is necessary; and life is a beautiful, bitter-sweet journey.  I am an empath and strongly believe in the power of communication- I find myself drawn into conversations and opportunities to heal daily, and this trust is beyond gratifying.

Random Information/Interests: ((WAY more than my attention span can handle!)) I am a 32 year-old, Bi (I know this information will be important/useful to some individuals) Gemini. I've gotten my Bachelor's degree and am a multi-functional employee at my daily job. I've spent most of my adult life working multiple jobs at the same time- bartending was always my constant- the energy, the music and the people!  As someone who can safely say that I "know a little about a lot", learning any and everything I can and deep discussion are passions of mine that have also given me necessary tools to figure out a way to talk to most people. My list of interests is long and varied, a few things include: movies (All decades/All genres, especially Dark Comedies- satisfies my sarcasm), music (just about everything...stump me), drawing/learning new mediums (currently: pinstriping/airbrushing), reading/writing, learning new languages (yes --"s" and trying to brush back up on my Spanish), cars and motorcycles (prefer classic/muscle cars and motorcycles) , family and friends (my world), etc. I am currently interested in learning/ or advancing some skill sets, like welding/fabrication (frames) and electrical certification, that will get me to my next goal set- independence and expanding creativity.

Along with the topics covered in the initial checklist, I am a pretty open book and am looking forward to listening to you about any subject you need to discuss. I can provide support for some additional subjects including, but not limited to: Grief Support, PTSD, Family Dynamics, Alternative Lifestyle (various sub-categories of this), and Family and Caregiver Support.

I keep odd hours, so please, if you would like to talk, message me even if it says "Offline". I will never leave someone unanswered and will respond within 48 hrs (to be safe...I'd say sooner :D). We can have a quick chat if that is what you would like or we can plan a block of time that would be perfect for your schedule, as well. This is personal for me to make a difference for you...

I am here for YOU. I can maintain a professional demeanor during our communication or we can talk like old friends. I cannot offer my advice- I can share with you my  experiences if they will be helpful, but I do not want to over-shadow your feelings, experiences and healing journey. I am here to be your support system, your friend, your ear. I look forward to listening to your thoughts as someone to vent to; to hearing you work through different perspectives and options as a supporter; and, most importantly, to seeing healing, happiness, and relief as someone who believes you deserve, can have, and will have these things.

Some Ways to Illicit Smiles and Good Vibes:
***Tell a good joke :)
***Be the person if the group still listening
***Look at the stars on a cloud-free night
***Give at least one un-prompted compliment a day (Can change someone's entire day!)
***Let a car over in traffic (Who knows when the next opportunity will come along...)
***Back roads, windows down, music up!
