  <about><![CDATA[For over seventeen years I have been speaking on topics of self-esteem, stress, and relationships based on my book, MAKING OUR LIVES WORK, a book which is partly a personal testimony about how I had to change in order to cope with a difficult family situation.  Workshops I have developed have been presented in England and in the United States.  Besides helping others, and myself, find more peace in their lives, I love to travel, to read, obviously, to spend time chatting with friends, and especially I am always seeking new experiences and things to learn.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Chicago</hometown>
