Conscious Mass

About the Book

The title Conscious Mass derives from my thoughts, opinions and life experiences I feel others can relate to and understand. It is a point of view written with compassion,simplicity and open mind. This book of poems is what reality is to me and sharing it with others is a fulfillment of my dream. I hope it encourages others to go after their dreams and not let them die.

About the Author

My name is Rachel Diane Ford, born in Greenville, South Carolina on September 7, 1953. My parents moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when I was 2 years old. I am the third of seven children and a proud single parent of a son and daughter. I graduated in 1971 from William Penn High School and attended Community College. In 1998, I took a course at Temple University for creative writing. I realized my love for writing in 1999. I began sharing my thoughts and my motivation accelerated, but working full time hindered me. However, to my amazement in 2003, I did a name writing for a very dear friend and realized my blessings extended. Doing name writings is also a passion of mine that I intend to pursue. My family and friends continually encourage and support me and my dream to publish a book of Poetry.
