Overview

This literary work is the product of my personal activity in the effort of lifelong self-expression. Self-expression can be accomplished through a number of manners, including all forms of art, music and performance. My form of expression is through the written word. As I experience the varied performance arts of others, I appreciate the message and communication of the artist and ultimately experience self-growth. Some individuals are driven to self-identify and as Dale Carnegie stated, ""Self-expression is the dominant necessity of human nature."" I started writing when I was twelve years old. This work expresses the intellectual, emotional, and personal growth I have experienced over a period of fifty-five years. As stated by Oprah Winfrey, ""If we're really committed to growth, we never stop discovering new dimensions of self and self-expression"". My two previous literary works, Grinnin' Like a Jenny Eatin' Saw Briars and Let Me Tell You a Story, published by Austin Macauley involve the communication of events and experiences in my life. As stated by Pearl S. Buck, ""Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfilment"". For this reason, I have chosen to fulfil my literary work through the writing and publication of this book.
