Shades of Purple: DECADES of My Life, Volume 1 (paperback)
A journey is usually an experience to remember. The mode of transportation and the surrounding scenery paints pictures that define the travel. We sometimes fly, drive, walk, skip, run, hop, and even crawl from one point to the other, carrying with us the experience of that movement through time and space. I have chosen to express my life’s journey through Shades of Purple. This journey is almost seven decades of living color and extraordinary hues. You will travel with me through the “lilac” of my life when innocence prevailed, and I felt the sense of dictating my surroundings. The decade depicted by Açai, a deep, dark shade, follows. The Açai decade is when it seemed as if the sun would not shine again. Decade three, represented by the African Violet, springs forward. With this, it brings love, hope, commitment, and fulfillment unimaginable. Each of us is a unique creation bursting into the world with purpose and destiny. Let the world hear your journey.
I share this journey in three volumes. Sharing my journey is my way of inspiring you to share yours, in word (written or spoken), song, art, dance, etc., and most of all, in a life lived intentionally and strategically. I decided to make mother and daughter cruises with our three daughters, beginning with the eldest. In 2015, on returning from my second journey, our eldest son (second child) died. This exodus marked my understanding of deliberate relational strategies. My 2016 cruise fulfilled this special cruising schedule. The front cover of this book is a picture captured on that cruise. Journeys are life-changing, and I am so excited to offer my life’s excursion to the world. You will see familiar places and faces, experience familiar words and spaces. You are the only person that can live your unique experience and build a legacy for those who travel behind you and with you. Your journey will give credence to those who came before you as well. As a unique piece of life’s puzzle, each of us will make the entire whole more meaningful. Let us travel and enjoy the voyage.
