There are times in our lives when we deal with circumstances that seem overwhelming; when all we need is a hug, a smile, or just a kind word. The Reason God Made Rainbows and Ribbons is about implementing the strength of poetry as a connection to faith and healing when we deal with life's challenging moments. It is a personal glimpse into the meaning behind each ribbon. Awareness ribbons are representations meant to show support or to raise our consciousness. We equate the different colors and patterns with different situations. They have come to symbolize unity, compassion, hope, and love. They are the ties that bind us.
