WHAT TO DO - for everyone

So often, folks ask for advice on specific things. I wish to share any helpful knowledge gleaned from my experiences, such as Welfare Case Worker in Moosonee, Ontario; Social Services Administrator in Sarnia, Ontario; to Co-Ordinator of Business Development Services in downtown Truro, Nova Scotia. Although these written issues are personal, they have perhaps been experienced by others. And if this Collection can assist in dealing with, learning about, or overcoming situations, then it will be very pleasing to me. May all my readers be blessed! RLP

Note: Without a personal faith in my God, and the love of my wife, I would not have been able to properly handle serious situations in my life.
