The Odds of Becoming Ourselves ... These "odds" are that we will, each of us, become ourselves, our individual selves. Our odds, also, are opportunities; choices. As the life-span increases for many of us, we have more of a selection. And as this life becomes real, we can create a recipe, a map, and then live it to the best odds we can muster. This book about becoming ourselves follows life experiences of Carol Shelton March.She re-lives this life in poetry and prose. Influenced by her life experiences from childhood, her teens, and through adulthood to maturity ... Carol says, "I am still learning". Her hope is to take the reader through these experiences in a way that conveys a story, provokes thought and is an enjoyment to read.
