Journeying involves time and place, people and space. Any journey is linked closely to relationships, and we must make sure to remember that "People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you'll know exactly what to do" (Michelle Ventor).

I choose to express my life's journey through Shades of Purple. In this volume, you will experience the soul of relationships. This leg of my seven decades of living color journey and extraordinary hues has been overflowing with adventure. The carousel picture on the front cover, taken by my daughter while we cruised, captures the idea of the ups and downs and rounds and rounds of life. You will move with me through laughter and tears, learning principles of initiating and maintaining relationships, as well as releasing some of them.

Volume 1 walked us through decades one and two, while Volume 2 will drive us through my third decade of life. This decade flourishes with life. Our first three children were born, and we relocated several times between the Caribbean and the mainland United States. Our vocations are a part of the added dimensional life, and we begin to face challenges before unheard of, including the death of our twin boys.

I share my journey in several volumes and have tentatively scheduled the release of Volume 3 in July '22. This love project is my way of inspiring you to share your journey. Each of us has a unique one. Share in song, art, dance, and word (written or spoken) and most of all, in a life lived strategically and intentionally. Journeys are life-changing, and I am ecstatic to offer my life's excursion to the world.

Some places and faces will seem familiar. However, you are the only person who 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. You are a unique piece of life's puzzle and each of us makes the entire whole more meaningful. Let us travel and engage the voyage!
