I am not sure there are any concrete solutions to this problem, you know, no step 1, step 2, Bang! resolution. It sure would be nice to have some suggestions about dealing with it. Do you have any idea if it will be included as a topic? If not, are there good Q & A opportunities with most of the speakers? Thanks again, as always you are a wealth of information and compassion, Love Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
