Saturday, September 30th, time TBA
Panel talk at the WomanSage Conference (Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort, 1855 S. Harbor Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92802).

WomanSage is a nonprofit for women in midlife, run by a totally awesome and dynamic woman named Jane Glenn Haas. Jane's syndicated column in the Orange County Register is one of the best-read anywhere on the subject of midlife womanhood and more. Last year, Jane lost her son, Tom Haas, and then later her husband. I interviewed her for my book, in which I wrote about Tom's funeral. Anyway, check out her conference on her fantastic and useful web site, and if you're in the area, do sign on! ...not for me but for Erin Brockovich, the keynote speaker.
