I have been blessed with an understanding of math and science and the ability to make complex problems seem simple. I know this is a blessing from God and try to use these talents to assist others. I seek for opportunities to tutor (for free) students in need of help and to answer life's questions as they relate to science and God.

One of the things that I truly believe is a gift, because I don't know how I do it, and don't understand why others can't, it being able to write poetry. Many, many people have told me that I write what they feel, and cannot put into words. One of the most enjoyable things I do is write about other people I know. It is one of the lovliest ways I know to give a compliment. I try to write about my experiences and my beliefs, through the Mormon lens. Here's an example about Mary, the mother of the Savior. Mary Mary – As you held your baby, Did you marvel At His tiny perfection? Did His fingers curl around yours In a tender grip? And did you cup the back of His small head With your hands, Cradling His dark curls, As mothers always do? When His newly opened eyes looked into yours, Did you see what mothers always see? Wisdom and light and….something else? I’ve always thought you knew Exactly who He was and what He’d do. But what a tender mercy That first He was your baby. His entrance into life was different, And full of stars. From the very first, Even from the day of His birth When shepherds, With the songs of angels still ringing in their ears, Slipped into the stable to pay homage To the Son of God, Was there always someone to come to see To look, to touch? History does not record, but somehow I sense That His life made your life Different. And yet, As a mother, I rejoice That it was for you He learned to crawl, to walk, to talk. And I thank you for your protecting love That allowed Him to grow To be what He needed to be For me. Everyone needs a mother.

 Everyone has something to share and everyone has something to learn! When I see others shine in sharing their talents it inspires me to want to share too or to improve myself. Also, when we give of ourselves - it helps make things better and joy to both those sharing and those receiving. For example, when you meet someone who has a talent of smiling - it brightens both your day and their day to see their smile. But if they kept that smile to themselves and didn't share it can even lead to sadness for both others as well as themselves. Or, if you had the talent of teaching and knowing how to listen and engage your class - it blesses everyone when you share that. We can all grow together and find joy in sharing our talents!
