Do not let yourselves be anyone else's translation, adaptation or interpretation. Find out and be who you were originally created to be....exceptionally designed and wonderfully made, no matter what any societal mores may say.

About the Book
These are reflections about the use of words and how they impact our lives. When I was in college, I had a very gifted professor who stated that you can say what you want to say in a sentence with the least amount of words and have it make a world of sense. You can feel and understand the meaning without a lot of verbiage. She wrote her exact words on one of my long-winded, many-paged papers: “Trop touffu”—too dense, too many trees in the forest, too many leaves on the tree, or . . . you get the gist. I could have said and written in sentences of five words or less. Well, I used a few more words than five in a sentence. These are my thoughts and experiences; some, not so original, I suspect, but just as they came through me to share.
