ABSTRACT

First and foremost, I would like to thank my family and friends whose support and faith in me were instrumental in bringing me to this place and in shaping me into the woman I am. I extend a very special thanks to my brother James Tsioumanis, whose clever judgement and natural creativity inspired the cover for the two books and the CD Rom in this series. I am deeply appreciative of my friends Tarah Leigh and Brian and Sandra Massey for their unwavering support and guidance. I also wish to thank my beautiful and talented god-daughter Georgina Kalaritis, for her warmhearted encouragement.
