* The most useful part of the conference was laughing, laughing, laughing! Each session gave me gems to use in my personal life. I laughed ’til I cried at the keynotes– all of them! I was especially touched by Lucie Arnaz– she sparkled and so did everyone else! (Sharon Alley, Loudonville, New York)
