The Lady Has Spoken: Sprinkles of Wisdom, with a Dash of Humor!

By LeNora Millen

This book is the result of seasoned wit and humor. The words are not intended as an appetizer, but a tantalizing serving of creative thought. The intent of the author is to savor the moment, and marinate the readers mind with word and prose. Although distinct by the uniqueness of the authors flair for penning quotes, the quick wit and sharp tongue of the writer adds spice to the occasion. The "Lady has Spoken," is suggestive, and perhaps inviting to those who prefer a dash of humor with sprinkles of wisdom by virtue of an appreciation for the spoken word flowing with creativity.

However, the concept of peace would only be intrinsic to that person, as my defining of peace in comparison or contrast would be unique unto me. As author of this text peace conjures up a multiplicity of mental images, sensations, and visualizations. I suppose many of the images are tucked away deep within the psyche, and brought to the forefront dependent upon the moment or what has or is transpiring at the time. Thoughts of travel, evoke peaceful images of walks along the beach while sipping lemonade—a surreal and relaxing moment, in which anxiety and daily stresses are oftentimes released. Perhaps this
