Forrest Gump may have seen life as a box of chocolates, but Libby Simon views it more like a pot of soup…elements that mix and simmer slowly over the years, which result in a complex and unique labyrinth of characteristics that make us who we are. In Life is Like a Pot of Soup, a collection of Libby’s new and previously published works, you’ll find a mixture of flavours – joy, sorrow, fear, courage, and love. The author begins with a fundamental stock (nature and nurture), adds an assortment of ingredients (childhood friends, new family, career choices), and stirs the pot with life’s experiences. The theme is universal and timeless.
