What an changing one's life. My poems highlight the desire to be self-sufficient, autonomous, decisive, and creative. My essays enhance understanding. "This is what happened when I did it.

Section II focuses on spirit and determination. We decide who we are by self-knowledge. Section III outlines the impact of those who are closest to us on our well-being and future capacity to respond to our misfortunes and opportunities.
