Author Description

Joyce Digby Nelson is a licensed registered occupational therapist and educator. She had a desire to be of service to others at a young age and now has more than 25 years of professionally meeting the needs of others via health care services and public education. It wasn't until Joyce found herself repeating the sayings idioms, axioms, and cliches in this book to her daughter and friends that she decided to start writing them down. Some of the sayings were coined from scripture to prompt critical thinking; others were to motivate and inspire, and a few were not so nice but raised a few eyebrows with a request to repeat. Dr. Nelson has a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy from Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California, master's degree of health science in administration and supervision from the University of Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana, and a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois. She reveres herself as an inspirational and transformational leader, developing and inspiring others to succeed at their highest potential. She aims to inspire people to achieve more than they may ever have dreamed possible. She believes that children do their best when inspired by their mother and hopes you will _ nd joy in this book as well as a desire to share your family's verbal heritage- and hers-with your loved ones. Wisdom never goes out of style, after all.
