A Poetic Blueprint

About the Book

As humans we encounter many situations, good and bad. We react based on our foundational principles and our surroundings. Our actions stem from the root of our upbringing, the lack and overflow thereof. Despite who we are, who we perceive ourselves to be, or how others perceive us, life happens. The book was inspired with the intent to look at life situations and apprehend the fact that we enter and depart from life as individuals and yet we share the same life experiences. This book addresses life occurrences using descriptive words, biblical meanings of numbers, poetry, and journaling. The book could be utilized as a tool of addressing life without the belief that the only option is failure.
