Subject(s): Summary: "In her new memoir, Vignettes on Life: Reflections of a Septuagenarian, Carol Harkavy has combined her love of writing, her journal entries spanning forty-five years, and her timeless wisdom to create a book of reflections and life lessons. She invites readers to take a peek into her humor, hopes, dreams, frustrations, fears, and anxieties that are openly revealed in this no-holds-barred, coming-of-old-age memoir. The author's goal is to impress upon younger readers the importance of not being late for the dance and to encourage older readers to realize that it is never too late to follow your heart. Nelson Mandela's quote, "It always seems impossible until it's done" is a constant reminder of what we can achieve if we are determined and motivated to persevere. Self-doubt, uncertainty, and negativity are our own self-imposed enemies and must be recognized and overcome before they paralyze us in such a way that prevents us from following our passion. Vignettes on Life will not only inspire readers of all ages to follow their dreams but will also share ageless wisdom with them to help guide them through this complicated maze we call "life."
