“The Traveler’s Book of Inspirations”

About the Book

Cliche´, a trite expression or idea. "The Traveler´s Book of Inspirations" is the Author´s ingenuity and a compilation of personal and others´ metaphors, expressions of thought, values and beliefs. The idea to write the book came forth, from the Author´s extensive dialoging in conversation over various topics, during her life´s travel. She discovered that many of the same cliches were expressed in diverse places, from north to south and east to west. Cliches were also a means of communication in her family home, growing up. Each of these warm, subtle cliches being shared are to provide a wide arena for thought and problem solving, as a conversation piece or just as a relaxing read. Like traditional foods and attire, dialects, religious practices; folklores, old wives tales, superstitions and cultural celebrations are passed down through generations, the same applies to cliches. But, for whatever reason you are reading this book, the Author is humbly grateful, and wishes you Devine blessings of peace and harmony.

About the Author

Characteristics of my “persona” are neither flamboyant, nor flashy, however, I have been called “The Trend Setter”. Anything that is original, innovative or non-faddy (short-lived) appeals to me. This may lend to the fact that I am a restless sole who likes constant change, be it in fashions, trends or other interests. The passion that I have for writing started as early as age nine, during my correspondence with a nine-year old pen pal from Romania (then Cheslosylvoklia). If memory serves me right, his name was Andre’! During that period, I knew that I would, one day, do something in the area of writing. My secondary schooling was in business management, with an emphasis in communication, and I have a love for language arts. My poem, “Still Blue” is dedicated to a child I almost bore, and Love. The emotion behind that was devastating, and started me on the journey to Expressive Word Art (January 1975). Words can tell stories, and, so, I write!
