[Nfbc-info] Suggestions please.

[Lisa Irving]

Hi Marie,


My name is Lisa Irving. At one a number of professionals deemed that I was incapable  of learning  of mastering technology. I am living  life on my terms; not according  to the nets ayers. Three people  in this organization  have tapped into  my learning  style  and now I'm  learning. To use a variety of technology  toys. 

My point is  his: do what you what love; not what others deem. 

Best,
Lisa Irving
