But what would that be? Write a book? Get a motorcycle and ride across the country? Tune in to find out what was the biggest, wildest thing Dianne could think of to do, and learn how she's progressing toward that goal today. Dianne has been writing magazine articles for twenty years with more than 275 published in more than fifty print and online magazines and contributions to 17 books. Her work has appeared in print in Great Britain, Bulgaria, Poland, Canada, and Korea. Dianne is also the author of two books.

Liz Furman is an author, artist, encourager, mentor, teacher, and speaker. Her most important job, however, is mothering her three teen-aged sons and supporting her husband, an Appelate Court Judge. All of whom give her much fodder for her amusing speaking topics—with their permission, of course. Liz speaks at women's retreats, Mothers of Preschoolers, and other women's events. She also teaches at writing conferences and caregiver conferences. She wrote her first book, Traditions & Recipes That Say WELCOME HOME All Year 'Round, to encourage families to start traditions and to celebrate with each other the seasons of the year. How to Plan a Funeral: and Other Things You Need to Know When a Loved One Dies came about when her husband's father passed away, and Liz took on the task of planning the memorial service for the family. She found no books to aid her at the bookstore. Liz believes everyone should have help for such an arduous task. She spent much of the last two years researching the topic and compiled the information into her latest book. While the topic is sad, the book is not. Encouragement and hope abound in this book. Liz Furman and her family live in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Her mother-in-law shares their mountain home with them. 00:32:00Hope for the JourneynoYvonne Ortega,breast cancer,death from cancer,planning a funeral,information needed when a loved one passes awayNational bilingual speaker, breast cancer survivor, and author of Finding Hope for Your Journey through Breast Cancer, Yvonne Ortega will interview Liz Furman.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hope-for-the-journey/2011/05/03/interview-51-dorothy-erlanger-may-3-2011Womenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hope-for-the-journey/2011/05/03/interview-51-dorothy-erlanger-may-3-2011/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hope-for-the-journey/2011/05/03/interview-51-dorothy-erlanger-may-3-2011Tue, 03 May 2011 14:00:00 GMTInterview #51 Dorothy Erlanger May 3, 2011 Dorothy Erlanger inspires others to take charge of their health and life decisions.

Jan's motto is "Healthy Breasts Don't Get Cancer." With a woman dying needlessly of breast cancer every twelve minutes, Jan's belief is that if women were aware and implemented the 21 medically-proven secrets she has outlined in her book, no woman would need to suffer with breast cancer. Jan is provocative, controversial and passionate as she empowers women to take their breasts off the sacrificial altar of greed. 00:31:00Hope for the JourneynoYvonne Ortega,breast cancer,breast cancer treatment,breast cancer prevention,breast health revolutionNational speaker and author of Finding Hope for Your Journey through Breast Cancer, Yvonne Ortega will interview Jan Janzen.

Karen and Annetta are nationally known for their encouragement to caregivers. There are more than 65 million family caregivers caring for a family member or friend today. In 30 years, the number of people needing care is expected to double. We are a nation in crisis, and we haven't even recognized it yet. Karen Boerger and Annetta Dellinger have been caregivers more than 8 times. The exhaustion, frustration and feelings of being overwhelmed can engulf the caregiver to the point where the caregiver has difficulty handling the challenging tasks at hand. Annetta and Karen have published two books, Joy-spirations for Caregivers and Blessings and Prayers for Caregivers. These books provide support and encouragement for the emotional health of the caregiver. Annetta and Karen speak around the country to bring awareness of the emotional needs of caregivers. They will be speaking on a chartered Royal Caribbean cruise ship in February 2011—Buckeye Cruise for Cancer.00:32:00Hope for the JourneynoYvonne Ortega,breast cancer,cancer caregivers,Buckeye Cruise for Cancer,caregivers support groupNational speaker and author of Finding Hope for Your Journey through Breast Cancer, Yvonne Ortega will interview Karen Boerger and Annetta Dellinger.

Rhonda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. She relied on her faith and humor to get her through her year-long treatment for breast cancer. She and her husband agreed to be open and honest with their three daughters' questions or concerns and to reassure them God would take care of them. Their youngest daughter was four years old at the time, and she asked the questions that many family members and friends wanted to ask but didn't dare. Those question and the answers from Rhonda and her husband developed into a book called Mommy's Hats. In simple terms the book helps families understand what lies ahead of them when someone they love is diagnosed with breast cancer. Rhonda also shows a lighter side of cancer. The heart-warming photos throughout the book show Rhonda and her family in their everyday lives laughing and enjoying life.
