SHIFT:
Change Your Words, Change Your World
by Janet Smith Warfield

On rare occasions, life-altering experiences result in great works of art and literature. Thirty-five years ago, Janet Smith Warfield, had such an experience. This experience became the driving force behind her unique and noteworthy book, Shift: Change Your Words, Change Your World.

For 35 years, Janet's artistic challenge was how to use words to communicate her wisdom. She knew that words were part of the human dilemma. Because of their constantly shifting meanings, words miscommunicate. Shift plays with word sculptures, using ordinary words in extraordinary ways to trigger readers' minds so that their own unique wisdom and truth can emerge.

Reading Shift is not an ordinary read. It's an interactive experience. Janet gently guides, sometimes jolts her readers into increased awareness, consciousness expansion, and living in the present moment. Using word tapestries of poetry, stories, quotations, and questions, enriched with illustrations and unexpected word juxtapositions, Janet helps readers of all backgrounds and faiths to understand and internalize timeless wisdom.

The word sculpture experience provides deep insight into personal, vital questions. It helps manifest previously untapped strengths, helping produce win/win outcomes by transforming personal chaos into comfortable harmony. The word sculpture experience provides clues to solving the "Human Truth Puzzle." The author exposes startling new meanings to Friedrich Nietzsche's writings, which, when properly understood, supply a major piece for solving the "Human Truth Puzzle."

Unlike mathematical problems, the "Human Truth Puzzle" cannot be solved logically using words and symbols. Knowing that the "Human Truth Puzzle" requires going deep into one's consciousness to know one's own mind and emotions, Janet Smith Warfield provides a road map for readers so they can experience their own higher awareness and truth.

The author is a poet, mediator, grandmother, retired attorney, graduate of Swarthmore College , and cum laude graduate of Rutgers School of Law. Her unique, powerful word sculpture experience is unlike any other self-help, body, mind and spirit work.
