Everyone has people in their lives that challenge them to examine who they are and what matters. The words used to communicate thoughts and feelings can make or destroy not only someone's day but, over time, their sense of self and perception of self-worth. Words said, in a personal or professional context, can shape who we are, for better and unfortunately, also for worse.
Each poem in this book by Dr. Laura A. Hawryluck explores the more difficult, yet common, interactions we have to build an understanding of personal strengths and resilience when faced with some of the more difficult moments of everyday life.
For as we all get buffeted by people and events, the best coping strategy is to know who we are and remember the words that really matter.
