Based on a lifetime of experiences in business, marriage, travel, community service and spirituality, the author presents a collection of words that have inspired him to lead a positive and productive life. Each of words included in this unique collection is accompanied by a short presonal essay that's illustrates how the word postively influenced him and kept him motivated to become a better person. Explaining the true meaning of the words through the prism of his experiences, he reveals how they changed his life with humor and personal anecdotes that everyone can relate to.

"Oasis" is a refuge of comfort and safety, a plunge into beauty, a respite from toil. It can offer a pause for reflection on the journey; perhaps a time for Memories of "Ice cream on a hot sidewalk where childhood skipped..." This precious resource, Laura Williams-Chassot reveals is within. It is not kind, not necessarily gentle, with Memories of "Healing pain that can't be fixed;" but is nurturing. It is not always accessible. But it is there-or here. Even when the worst confronts us, our individual paths can lead us to an oasis of sustaining energy and insight. This volume of poetry forms a loosely sketched narrative, each work a way station on an autobiographical pilgrimage. Each element stands alone with its particular subject matter, structure, and vocabulary-not a series but a metaphorical possibility. The poet is a painter. The ­painting is a poem. But essentially Laura is the elusive trickster who engages simple ­observation as a mirror of paradoxical truths. A poet who enlists the reader as an ally while -­reserving facets and riddles of understanding to be ­revealed in future encounters.
