Congratulations, Geri. The essence of your book could not have come at a more appropriate time. The cover is stunning!
I join Steve Kaffen in congratulating Geri on this inspiring work. I have mailed it to some members of my original Peace Corps Group [Colombia II] to help reflect on our Peace Corps experience.
This book intertwines personal narratives with universal truths. It seeks to understand how we find purpose and significance in our life’s ever-changing tapestry. Foundational to the book’s message is experience in the Peace Corps, spanning six decades.. From the terrains of Bolivia to the shores of Puerto Rico, introspection of the unknown reveals insights into life, including the essence of daily existence, the compass that guides our care-giving, and the myriad emotions that punctuate our lives. The book’s chapters provides a reflection worksheet that allows one to assess the ebb and flow of one’s life’s transitions through contemplation of presence, echoing Frankl’s conviction that we find our most authentic selves in seeking meaning.
Congratulations Geri! “Yet To Be Revealed “ is such an amazing gift . A book about discovery, love, adventure and enduring friendships. This is a roadmap on how to be present while navigating the peaks and valleys of life with grace and purpose.
