Taking pen to paper has been a journey of misspelled words, uneven margins, thoughts and rethought of how I wanted my book or my story to be told.  And what I’ve discovered is while giving voice to the most inner parts of myself; there amongst the letters and margins was a process. So,(like life)  I tried and tried again to make crooked lines straight and correct misspelled letters and while changing the image of the cover of the book (so you the reader will be intrigued enough to read my words) I discovered that the process and the content of the book was even more important than an image.  And while asking the question; “what kind of legacy do we want to leave behind?”

My answer, the kind that had challenged me to act (which was the process) and the kind that fearlessly challenged me to articulate how it all came to be (which became the product).  On the shore of my life came the waves upon waves of life experiences.  Sometimes the thoughts were deep as the ocean floors that came like the opening and closing of a revolving door. 

While the waves brushed along the long salty shore it brought with it treasures of the ocean of shells, and particles of shining sand and wrapped up in the motion, a story could be told.  Although my Great grandfather’s picture is still in the book You Should’ve Been I have changed the cover to reflect how while writing the book, I remembered that the ocean and all of it’s happening better reflects my life experiences.    The book is available on Amazon.com under the same title but look for a different picture.
