In this narrative, I explore humanity's driving motivations in various aspects of life, and offer my perspectives of the human condition through the illustration of personal anecdotes. My hope is to invite healthy debate, as well as self-introspection in my readers (virtually everyone, of any age). The great Maya Angelou (1928-2014) once said, "when you learn, teach." Life has been a great teacher for me, demonstrating its rollercoaster twists and turns in myriad ways. Now, looking back on my past and forward to a future of greater enlightenment and heightened consciousness about my self and the world around me, I acknowledge the importance of arriving at TRUTH - the essence of what every life should be about. It is my hope that in journeying with me, my readers will find their way back home - to TRUE SELFHOOD.
