Epigraph
He who knows others is learned; He who knows himself is wise. - Lao-Tzu
Dedication
In gratitude to my children Jodi, Tami "Luna," and Dan, and to my friends who nurture, support and encourage my spiritual and emotional growth. And to Sadie, whose wisdom and clarity amaze and delight me.
First words
While I was growing up, every member of my family seemed so different from me.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Twenty years ago, when I read about my type, it started me on my path of self-acceptance and helped me to realize that it was all right to be me, an ENFP. I hope it has an equally powerful effect on you.
