About the Book

ENDLESS VISIONS is a modern-day book of poetry, focused on different aspects of life. The author has written poems which she hope will be motivational to readers, a source of encouragement to those experiencing personal tragedies in their lives, and to share personal feelings of the author. The poems are based on simple everday situations faced by many of us in the society.

 

Poetry is an art, an expression of built-up emotions, sometimes hard to express in a regular conversation with others. This gives us the opportunity to acknowledge and face the issues that confront us in our daily lives.

 

ENDLESS VISIONS also included several poems written about famous Jamaican cultural tourist destinations. It also included poems about Jamaicans who were considered legends in their own right, and who were very influential in promoting Jamaica worldwide.    


About the Author

The Author, is a Jamaican by birth. She worked with National Commercial Bank Jamaica Ltd for 18 years. In 1996, she migrated to the United States with her family, and has resided in Florida ever since.

 

She earned both her Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice (2008), and Masters in Business Administration (MBA) majoring in International Business (2009), at Keiser University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 

One of her many goals in life was to become an author, and in May 2005, motivated by her English Literature experience, decided to "try her hand" at poetry. She has now achieved her first goal in the publication of this book, an experience she finds very rewarding. Writing poetry allows her to express her inner most thoughts, which she would not necessarily disclose in personal conversations. It allows her to draw on her personal experiences, and that of others, both good and bad, and expresses them in words.

 

Her philosphy since 2004, has been "you cannot win a race, unless you get started" and she has witnessed this in her daily life. She does not believe failure is and option, and considers obstacles as challenges,  requiring her to work harder to achieve her goals. She believes she is the master of her own destiny, and is determined to succeed.
