Expressions and Truisms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500717131)

"Why, that's exactly what I needed to know " Helena Powell's Expressions & Truisms is a literary treat bursting with wise anecdotes and humorous witticisms gleaned from her long and fascinating life in the US and abroad. The wife of a globetrotting businessman-husband, when Helena wasn't busy raising their two children, she presided over a Brazilian PTA, or volunteered at a local hospital. In the midst of her busyness, she kept her antennae up, ready to capture vignettes from the most unusual sources. She preserved these gems of thought over the years, hoping to publish them someday. Well, here they are Whether you're in the mood for a literary break from the mundane, in need a dose of offbeat humour (that's 'humor' written in British), or thirst for inspiring truth, you'll find a plethora of treasures between these covers. You may recognize a few sage utterances penned by well-known philosophers or comedians. Their eternal wisdom should be told again and again. But mostly, you'll find original thought that begs one to consider, or perhaps apply, to one's own life. Brought to you by the author of the award-winning Glimpses and Reflections and Rabbits to Lita - A Hop Down Memory Lane, this refreshing immersion into timeless witticisms, lyrics, and good old down-to-earth advice, will lift your spirits and bring literary satisfaction to your day.
