Weaves'' is a collection of exquisite poems knitted from significant life experiences— Childhood adolescence marriage parenthood and career. Life experiences most often create an emotional web in which a person may feel overwhelmed! Through poetry the author traces her growth from a shy naïve girl to a confident woman who sees through life. By sharing personal experiences from her perspective she offers a parallel to the reader to consider and appreciate the opportunities for emotional growth and self-awareness their own encounters provide. This anthology transforms everyday interactions into powerful possibilities of liberation and empowerment in the art of living.
