INFORMATION ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Perhaps no one is better qualified to discuss
the intricate fabric of relationships than Rene Reid Yarnell, a
celebrated international speaker and writer. Formerly a Catholic nun,
with an
M.A. in theology, Rene brings a fresh perspective to the established view
of marriage. "Of all the people I know, certainly I…had every
reason to believe that I would grow up, get married, bear children, and
live with my husband 'til death do us part…" Having herself
entered into a multitude of relationships from religious community to
elected public office, from business associations to "relationship
marketing," from traditional marriage to spiritual partnerships,
Rene offers a new paradigm for the ending of relationships, which prepares
each person more fully for the next phase of new beginnings.
Rene's latest book, 'Til Death Do Us Part...
represents her debut as a personal-story writer set in the world of her
familiar environment of politics and network marketing.
Rene has dedicated much of her life to the field
of education, beginning in the classroom in the sixties and expanding
to include hosting both talk radioand television shows.
 Rene
is, also, a well-loved international speaker, a writer, and consultant
for the network marketing industry. Having built, with her partner,
a successful organization of more than 200,000 marketing representatives
worldwide crossing 28 countries, she has been heavily involved in helping
to shape the Network Marketing industry for well over a decade.
In her hometown of Reno, Nevada, Rene founded and serves on the local
board of Project Restart, a program committed to assisting the homeless
in Northern Nevada. Her commitment to the community even crossed over
into politics when, in 1988, she was elected County Commissioner. Now
living in Reno, her home of 20 years, Rene has two grown children: a son,
Chris Grove, and a daughter by marriage, Amy Yarnell.
