Rainbows & Tears

Rainbows & Tears was inspired by the old Indian saying, "Your soul would have no rainbow if your eyes had no tears." It is too easy to let our losses and sorrows overshadow the true gifts in our lives. Though you may be in a dark place, the stars will shine and the sun will rise if you let it. Happiness comes from within and from the love and laughter of friends and family for they are your rainbows and will share your tears. The words and emotions are universal and all will relate to the losses and the joys expressed in Rainbows & Tears.
