No matter our age, the world changes and challenges us every day. Life is a voyage of discovery; we learn as we go. As love grows in our hearts, we see the ironies and the coincidences, the struggles and the pitfalls, and we also see the silver linings. The human spirit is resilient, and during tough times, our ability to find balance and to laugh at ourselves is part of the journey.

Rhymes for a Reason: The Power of People, Positivity, and Play offers an assortment of writing reflecting everyday life, special occasions, observations, feelings, and philosophies, while navigating life's unexpected twists and turns. It celebrates life, with positivity, compassion, understanding, and laughter. Rhymes for a Reason is about the things we have in common, no matter who we are or where we are from. Mostly, it's about support, and if we stick together and take care of each other, we can get through anything.

This quirky collection of poetry and prose is evocative of the diversity of roles played, and experiences lived. The book is rendered in three parts-an emotionally rich, thoughtful, and engaging variety of poems, a delightful shorter section intended to bring out the kid in all of us, and a contemplative piece about living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Rhymes for a Reason is intended for adult readers who are both sensitive to the plights of others and capable of seeing humour through life's ups and downs. People looking for some positivity, or a new perspective, may find themselves reflected in these poems and stories.
