If you could tamper with your memories and rewrite them in your favour, would you? It's actually a rather easy thing to do.Memories aren't made purely from our interactions in the physical world. When we muse with our imaginations, we're creating memories, too. When reality and fantasy intermixes over time, how can you draw the line between what's real and what isn't?

Webster defines a poem as: A piece of writing that has rhythm and often rhymes, usually in language that shows more imagination and feeling than ordinary speech. People are made up of pieces. Some of those pieces are bright and appealing to us, some are dark and shadowy. Although people are composed of many pieces, they cannot be accepted only in part. When you assemble the pieces of writing written by any one author, and delve into the depth expressed within them, the assembled pieces reveal a picture of the heart that lies beneath. Each of us has pieces of ourselves that in normal society we would not venture to share, but those are the pieces, which compose the masterpiece of our life.My poetry is more than cleverly arranged wordsI invite you to meet me by reading my books. Perhaps in our meeting you will find pieces of yourself reflected within the pages. When people connect, it is often because they see pieces of themselves in each other. Dare to accept people as masterpiece.I, Gail A. Veilleux, am a Christian. My greatest joy in life has been my family. I am a mother of three, a daughter, a sister, and a grandmother. I worked in a variety of fields before becoming disabled, and I have lived many places before settling in Maine. The various places I lived, and the relationships I have had have broadened my perspective. My poetry springs from my experiences. Writing has been an avenue of expression available to me in any circumstances; it is a comforting friend. Published word can be unforgiving, but writing is freeing.

It has been disseminated by individuals with knowledge gained from university studies and books or by individuals in the political fieldnone from having experience in the business field.These individuals want to solve the problems which they see prominent in the business field. They think workers are being mistreated, not being paid the way they should for the work they do, while the owners and managers of businesses are prospering. They say the rich are getting richer; the poor are getting poorer. Politicians have noted these problems and they feel an obvious solution would be to increase the minimum wage.The latter solution does only one thing: it makes it harder for some beginners to get a job. It helps no one. And no one, without experience in a particular technical field, can solve problems that might arise in that field. The United States of America: The Most Successful Nation and People of All explains why that is true.The book explains how the United States of America has become the most successful nation and people in the world.

The book provides facts and details that explains the reasons why the United States surpassed all other nations in economic successits free market, how it was born, when it was born, and what government did to sustain it.
