@Heather225 Hi I joined 25 December.

Wanted to gain new skills, the course looks interesting and I am training as a mentor for the quality listening program so thought it might help.

I guess I am stuck for what to say about a fun fact about myself.  I was told once that I have signs of a strong sixth sense that needs developing.  I often feel people, where they are or what is happening to them and what they need. Sometimes people say only with me we finish each others sentences.  Maybe it is due to being highly sensitive
