"What
is most compelling to me about Laura's work is the wonderful balance
she coveys, both in person and in her writing, between being both a
teacher and an ongoing, active learner. She is completely credible as
she shares both her own and others' stories for the benefit of gaining
insights and mutual learning. This is a relief from the more "expert"
point of view, which has a way of making me feel small and disengaged.
"Laura is clear that she cannot help us feel better or solve someone
else's "problems." I like that honesty. But she delivers on what she
does have to offer. She sets a wonderful example. She exudes the faith,
hope and deep wisdom that come from her own experience and the sharing
of other people's stories. To me it seems like she has graduated from
the world of 'surviving' and is teaching us what she has learned about
real-world living and thriving.

�Our event tonight was just great. Laura was graceful, compassionate,
elegantly articulate, and touched the listeners deeply. We had about
200 people here and they were so still and quiet all the time she
spoke. Even passersby picked up on the focus and were quieter as they
passed through the store. It was a wonderful evening.�
