Darlene Ford Wofford, aka 'The Spirited Southerner,' author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember." The multi-award winning author, recently named 'Author of the Year' by Books-And-Authors.Net, will share from personal experience how to "embrace life with spirit and keep moving forward.'" She was recently a featured guest on TV Fox 5's Good Day Atlanta, where she discussed the events which led to writing her novel based on true events in her life. Her story is an inspired tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and of triumph over tragedy to recover from wounds life can inflict upon us without warning. An Atlanta native, whose work resonates with the enduring theme of healing and unconditional love, Darlene will guide us to clear our cluttered minds, focus on what really matters, and reduce that ever present stress that seems to affect people from all walks of life.

Carolyn O'Neil, author of "The Dish." A familiar face to locals, the former CNN correspondent, AJC food critic, and registered dietician will explore how to eat well while still savoring a superb meal plan. Intriguing recipes, general weight management, and fitness tips will also be discussed.

Patrice Dickey, author of "Back to the Garden: From Shadow to Joy." Leading workshops on spiritual growth and life transitions is a top priority for this multi-award winning author. Join the journey as Patrice helps you discover how to maximize your goals and achieve your most desired results for 2008.
