It’s amazing how much she remembers about your life. Most of the time she’s ask me how something was going and I’d say, dang I forgot about that but it’s good thanks. Also very flexible which is helpful because I’ve got a crazy work schedule. Had to pause due to financial issues but when I can afford it again, I’m coming back to here for sure
