      WOW! You are far too kind Sherley. Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words.

      I had such an amazing time with you and Jackie. I cannot wait to have you both back on the podcast again!

      It’s so great that not only do we have amazing discussions, but we meet and get to know such great people in the process. That’s one of the things I love most about podcasting.

      You have an outstanding show and network too! I pray that you and Clove have tremendous success with it!

      Thank you for your continued support and for being in my corner. It truly means a lot Sherley!

    You’re right Don! “Me Time” is so important. I can’t even lie, if a woman doesn’t understand my need for time to myself…that’s likely to be a deal breaker.

    Thank you so much for listening to the podcast Don. I truly appreciate that and you taking the time to answer the question and share your thoughts. Thanks!
