Check it out! Interviewy goodness! Your Birthdate: June 1 Your birthday suggests that are executive ability and leadership qualities in your makeup. A birthday on day 1 of any month gives a measure of will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You may be sensitive, but your feelings stay rather repressed.

I hang out at this online writer’s forum called Forward Motion. There’s an e-zine called Vision associated with this forum, and the theme for the May/June is “Openings”.
