The Audacity of Veracity


Book Description

In her captivating narrative, The Audacity of Veracity - iDARE, author Nicky Dare chronicles her deeply personal reflections and life experiences. Aside from being a poignant tribute to her parents and upbringing in western traditions, the book is a celebration of life's joys and struggles, certain to resonate with all readers, particularly women. iDARE - Integrity of Diversity, Adaptation, Resilience, and Empowerment is a powerful credo that can be adapted and applied to any aspect of daily life. Its philosophies were born of one woman's challenges in transcending cultural divides, confronting tragic loss, relationship issues, sustaining an entrepreneurship, and juggling all of these demands at once.In a literal and metaphoric sense, the book is a travelogue, which takes the reader to different places in the world; and it is also an internal contemplative journey on which the author dares to take her readers, in the hope of sharing profoundly wise insights. Happiness is a choice. Dare to dream, to savour the moment, and to live authentically-iDare way!

Random Thoughts


Book Description

I titled this book Random Thoughts overtly tongue-in-cheek because, as I have argued in the introduction and preface, I do not believe in anything random about why and how we exist in a nonrandom universe. I strongly believe in creationism, one that does not deny the factuality of evolution in that creative process. The way I see it, the universe and our existence was schemed, designed, and finely-tuned by a transcendent supremely sentient impulse""God""who is not into acts of futility. The essay titled "It's All about God" specifically argues the idea that God's creation of sentient beings""us""was His act of utmost utility because if we are not here to perceive, experience, and witness the universe in all its glory, it would just be cold, dead space out here, there, and everywhere with neither usefulness nor timeliness.
