    About this ebook

    "Your poem HER lured me in like a Siren. It read like swirl with light touches of alliteration, “The universe is but a jewel in her trinket box, Galaxy-studded, swirling arrays of mystical matter” I STILL have no idea what or who Her is. But I know the allegory is marvelous."

    "Bird of Paradise was one of my favorite poems from 36. It reminded me of a Phoenix soaring after rising from its ashes. It reminded me of all the things the caged me in (including my self-limiting beliefs) and how felt so free walking away from it all to new beginnings."

    RACHEL BANDARA, the #1 Best Selling author of Unleash Your Greatness, takes you on an intimate journey of exploring life in its intricacies, through its shadows and ecstacy, expressed through the power of an inspired collection of poetry.

    This collection of poems, has been curated in her 36th year, and her work continues to inspire through her keen observation of humanity in its kaleidoscope of experience, raw honesty and love for life.
