CHICAGO -- Recently I had the privilege of meeting Maria Shriver at a conference. I told Shriver that her book, Ten Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out into the Real World, served as inspiration for my upcoming book and consulting business, Chasing Hope.
Why Chasing Hope? Because as any parent of a childliving with a challenge knows too well, effort, energy, time and money spent seeking treatment can feel as though you are chasinghope.
