About a month or so ago, I created a post in which I asked readers who need advice to send me their questions, either by commenting on the post or via private message.

Due to the overwhelming response, I wanted to submit another such post now welcoming all of you to reply to this post with any questions you may have or sending them in a private message (in case you'd like your story to remain anonymous). Don't be shy -- I'm all ears (or should I say, eyes) and excited at the opportunity to guide people through some of life's big challenges. Need advice or tips to help make your life better? Let me know and I'll be glad to help!
