In fact, many hobbyists have referred them to me, and I've always helped whenever possible...
My time has become increasingly limited lately, between balancing my hobby & personal life, traveling, & growing extended family...
I will still gladly offer assistance to new providers who need help; however, I will now be charging (regular hobby rates) for my mentoring services.
It's become nearly impossible for me to dedicate my free time to anything but hobbying & family... And do I believe that I provide a valuable service. Well worth it IMO, especially when you consider the alternatives.

This is just an fyi for ladies interested, and those of you that send new ladies my way. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this. I would love outside perspectives & input.
