I found a great one by Sheila Bender - google her and you will find access
to her newsletters, books, workshops, courses, etc. I am working from one of
her books presently and really like her way of teaching.

> More recently, Lauren has had two books published. The first was "there's

> "there's more than one way to be okay: a blind woman's PURRspective on

> Of course the cats have their own chapter. Lauren is currently in the
