A special thanks to Nancy Lynch, who supported the vision of this book and encouraged me in the months of labor to bring it to birth.
To Kim Cook, who mentored me in the work and creativity of becoming a writer, I express my deep appreciation for her humor and drive.
I would like to thank my clients, students and colleagues, who cheered me on through the high and low times, keeping the vision bright.
I offer a most sincere thank you to Rusty Broderick, whose devotion, support and hard work, mixed with his refreshing humor, gave me constant encouragement and inspiration during the writing of this book.
