  Laura Duksta | Author of the Deeply Inspiring Book, 'I Love You More'

  At 3pm EST, we'll be joined by author, speaker and visionary Laura Duksta. The first thing most people notice about Laura is her head. At the age of 11, she lost all of her hair to a 'disease' called Alopecia Areata, a condition that affects about 5 million people in America. It's not been an easy journey, though it's one for which she is eternally grateful. After 19 long years of wearing wigs she finally learned the biggest lesson: the ability to love herself. After all that's what we're here for, right? To love and be loved. That's the message of her first book, 'I Love You More.' It captures the power and magic of unconditional love shared between a mother and child.

  Marie Howe | Winning Poet of the National Endowment for the Arts and Guggenheim Fellowships

  At 3pm EST, we'll be joined by award-winning poet, Marie Howe. 'Marie Howe's poetry doesn't fool around,' said Margaret Atwood about Howe's first collection, 'The Good Thief,' which received a National Poetry Series award in 1989. Howe's second book, 'What the Living Do,' is largely an elegy to her brother John, who died of AIDS in 1989. In addition to the feelings of loss that many of her poems reveal, hope and an appreciation of life are also important themes. Among her many honors, Howe has received the National Endowment for the Arts and Guggenheim fellowships. She teaches creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia, and New York University.

  Darren Littlejohn | Discover the Buddhist Approach to the 12-Step Program

  At 3pm EST, we'll be joined by Darren Littlejohn, author of 'The 12-Step Buddhist.' Darren is a recovering addict and a practitioner of Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, as well as a former mental health specialist. He has been a Buddhist practitioner since the mid '80s. A spiritual crisis led to a relapse in 1994 with 10 years of sobriety. After regaining sobriety in 1997, Darren worked on recovery with a new zeal, incorporating many years of psychotherapy, 12-Step work, Zen, and Tibetan Buddhist practices. Darren’s program, which became the basis for the book 'The12-Step Buddhist,' is an integrated approach that is hard won over a span of more than twenty years.
