About the Author

RJ Macck has been writing in personal journals for over 40 years . . . And continues to do so today. His heartfelt self-expression, styles of observation and vantage point are unique and typically reserved for a precious few. "Somewhere early on I made the choice to be true to "Me" and in how I would express myself" "My journals travelled with me over my lifetime . . . and are trusted companions. They listened well (smile) and, provided me a means to reflect on life, my personal experiences and loved ones through space and time. RJ communicates in a creative, touching way that is refreshingly real and honest. The search for his own self-awareness and expression provide deep insight into a man and his motivations over the course of a lifetime. You gain a bird's eye view and first-hand read of key experiences and questions that helped to shape RJ into the driven, sometimes deeply complex and dedicated person & professional he is today. His journal entries are filled with energy, intense caring and sometimes troubled introspective. RJ's observations subtly invite us to constructively challenge how we might express ourselves. The poetic verses also inspire the reader to see and feel "the familiar in new ways" . . . to remember how it was, and is, to define the world around us using our own words. He shares all of this using a very unassuming, easy to read and nonjudgmental writing style. This is an enjoyable and must read for adults and young adults alike.
