Lifestyle

It’s time to acknowledge the most special people in my life, for without them the column, “Suzanne’s Corner” would never have existed. In 2019 being somewhat settled in East Texas, I had an opportunity to take a breather from the many construction projects that were taking place on my newly acquired property. It was at that time that YouTube was becoming my goto entertainment and trainer for just about everything. A friend urged me to start listening on YouTube to a brilliant woman to bring my knowledge up to a realistic level pertaining to all things financial. She was such an unbelievable brain stimulant to my new financial interests that I attended her ITM Trading seminar, or as they called it, “The Event”, in Phoenix, Arizona. My “community thinking” was borne from that trip and spending quality time with Lynette Zang. She didn’t disappoint for one second with her incredible knowledge in the field of precious metals, bankers, brokers, history of currency, fiat dollars, economy and “gardening for survival”… of all things. She spoke, without notes or hesitation for the entire day, imparting her valuable wisdom, and opened my eyes relative to our changing world. She completely altered my life, outlook and no doubt made me a much better more caring person relative to community and looking out for my fellowman and neighbors. A huge THANK YOU goes to Lynette for being such an important part in shaping my new philosophy toward life. She was the inspiration for the very first published “Suzanne’s Corner” titled, “It’s All About… Community”.

We all know someone that we cannot believe anything they say, and there are others we take what they say with a grain of salt, but there are some we know that when they say something, we can take their word to be true.

The Atlanta Public Library recently joined the E-Read Texas program.
