About Max:

 

I love helping others and I have worked a good portion of my career as a Director of Social Work/Counselor in nursing homes/assisted living helping both residents and employees daily.  I love writing and am a published author of 7 books to date...And, I am a poet, and have published a Christian poetry book.  To help one person is better than none at all...I love my husband, animals, and laughing...Laughing is what makes things make sense...Even in the darkest of times...So smile, because a smile and laughter can encourage the mind and the heart to act accordingly...And, most of all I love God, and all that he is, I am nothing without God-Praise you Lord!  Amen.
