Speaker I'm the sole Author and Speaker on "The Effect of Alcoholism on the Whole Family." It's an hour talk, not as a professional counselor, but as an ordinary woman who lost a husband and daughter to alcohol addiction. I can speak privately at alcoholic rehabs and halfway homes or publicly to businesses or organizations. I also offer an hour speaking engagements on "My Spiritual Renewal" to Christian locations. It's how and why I left the Church. My turning back after a ten day pilgrimage to Medjugorje, a small, remote village in Bosnia. Coming in 2011, I'll have a program called "The Employee Support Service" for companies or any organization needing someone to help the alcoholic abuser to see how the disease effects the whole family. It'll be four week program, once a week, to reach out to them. I've written A Healing Heart; A Spiritual Renewal, which won the "Reviewer Choice Award 2008 Semi-Finalist from Reviewers Choice Award of Texas. I speak about my Spiritual Renewal from this memoir. The books: Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round; An Alcoholic Family in Crisis (2009 was nominated for the Editor's Choice Award by Allbook Review of Canada ), and the sequel, Please, God, Not Two; This Killer Called Alcoholism (2010 is up for the Editor's Choice Award by Allbook Review; Winners announced 1/1/2011). These are both memoirs about the confusion, fear, and abuse in my early marriage, and coming to learn my daughter was following the same path as her father.
