Time and time again, we as the beautifully and wonderfully Intense women have a strong need for a supportive Community. It can be easy to feel like you’re doing this crazy life alone, especially if you are the parent of and Intense or Gifted kid. Where do you turn if you are isolated in your school system? How do you get help if your financial resources are limited? Enter Carolyn K, and the Hoagies’ Gifted Education Page.
