    About this ebook

    We are all travellers in our own lives
    Discovering parts of ourselves like
    Nurtured seedsturned tropical forest.

    No two people have the same journey
    Although our paths may intertwine
    We are faced with challenges
    Specifically tailored to us.

    This is a book of journeys
    Not of one person, but of many, compiled
    This is a book of finding ourselves
    Among the rubble, the hurt
    And picking ourselves back up
    Dusting off the dirt.

    This is a book of the rainbow after the rain
    The laughter after the pain
    The healing after the break.
