Hi Everyone!  Thank you so much for your interest in my work.  Here it is 2011 and yes, I am still working on my book.  It turns out that it is more complex than I had previously thought. A publication on Amazon is still out in the future. However, because I've had so many requests to repost the excerpts, I will do so in the next few months, along with new material.

My new working title is The Fulfilled Empath--How to Enjoy Wonderful Relationships and a Life of Creativity.  I'm excited!!

.

Thanks so much!

Elaine
