Organized into five thematic sections centered on the topics of Love, Motherhood, Work, Family and Friends, and Balance, these poems will make you shake yourself, question your views, smile, yearn, revel ... be brave, be nostalgic ... challenge, accept ... kick up your heels, follow your own mind ... and find harmony and peace.
