HOW CAN THIS BOOK BE USED? Here are just a few creative ways you can have fun with “Pass It On” • You can start a book club. Each person can write inside the other person’s book. • You can complete the book and hand the book to a love one as a gift or have them read later in life when you feel the time is appropriate. • You can exchange books with a sibling, spouse, or friend. • You can give one or several books to those who you would want to know better when they returned the book for you to read. • You can use it as a new way to journal your personal thoughts. Especially if you’ve never written a journal before. And you probably can come up with several other ways to use this unique form of communication. Ideally, the book was meant for you to “Pass It On” for someone else to read and to have them write their thoughts and ideas on the same page as yours or others. If nothing else-to let someone else learn more about you and then create conversations about what you have written. “Pass It On” can be used to increase bonds between people. The book can be as sensitive or general about a topic as you would like it to be. Some questions may be easy to answer. While other questions-might be difficult to find the right words to answer and write down. Though the book can be used for most age groups-some poems and questions maybe too difficult for a younger person to understand or know how to answer. But I encourage parents to coach answers from their young ones and have them write their answers in your book or their own (even if you may not like what they have to say). How cool would it be to have them review what they thought about years later when they are adults with children of their own? This book was written to be therapeutic and fun. Hopefully the book can bring about better clarity on who you are. Try to find more ways to use this beyond the list posted already. Let your creative spirit have fun with this book! Enjoy your journey then PASS IT ON!

About the Author
I grew up in Oak Ridge, TN. when Kennedy was President, Martin Luther King was alive, gas was cheap, you got 3 channels on TV, and a vinyl record wasn’t a collectable item. I was extremely shy in my youth and most people saw me as being a “quiet, funny and likeable kid”. I have always had a love for the arts and can’t remember not drawing or being creative. I remember my kindergarten teacher from Scarboro Elementary School being amazed by my ability to draw even before I could really write. But it was my English teacher from Jefferson Jr. High (Ms. Nolan) who thought I had a talent for writing. She wrote me a note back in 1969 expressing her view on my writing abilities and planted a seed that stayed with me about writing a book of poetry. Since then, I have written 2 children’s book called “My Little Red Book” and “My Little Green Book” (both written and illustrated by me), and took part in a book project of 39 other writers called “Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Lives: Defining Moments”. I have always had a great love for people and understanding human behavior. I love connecting with people. My sense of humor and how I see life has always made me different from those around me, which I know I got from my mom. She was well-known for being a person who really lived, loved, and laughed no matter how bad the situation was in life. I, too, tend to be the same way. I am the CEO and founder of UNDERCONSTRUCTION: Life Coaching For Men (www.underconstructionlifecoaching.com). Underconstruction is a life coaching tool to help men discover and increase their own creative nature. I really hope you’ll enjoy your journey with PASS IT ON!
