Hi, Kat. Have you ever considered doing more homeless advocacy? What exactly about Reggie's story drew you to his plight?

Reggie: you have great artistic skills! How do you feel about the potential exposure from all this?

I gotta say, as a homeless guy just down the road in Tucson, your friendship is certainly inspiring!

This is very true. I used to run a shelter for homeless veterans, many of whom were battling substance abuse and mental health issues (depression, anxiety, PTSD). One of our policies was giving residents jobs; keeping busy would help them with addiction problems and PTSD.

The worst thing for me is when my head begins to wobble. Hands/arms you can interlink, or hide under a table or in your lap, but when you're trying to appear to be still and your head is shaking....frustrating, scary, irritating.

Thanks for answering! It sounds like you've got a solid endgame in sight! :)
