Taking Care of the Person You See in the Mirror
Luncheon Keynote: Sr. Anne Smollin, CSJ, Ph.D.

We live in a lonely, stressful world. We must take care of ourselves and keep a sense of balance in our lives. We will look at blocks that prevent us from taking care of ourselves and find practical ways to keep the joy and laughter in our daily lives.

Anne Smollin, PhD, is a Sister of St. Joseph, a therapist, group facilitator, lecturer, and consultant. She is an international speaker on topics such as humor, laughter, joy, stress, interpersonal relationships, communication, and motivation. She is presently executive director of Counseling for Laity in Albany, New York
