“ There are people who wonder in superlatives but tragically don't care for the stories inside.”

This was the first of so many jewels of this offering. I am already excited to read it again...and all the words that wander home from your spirit. I love you friend. I want to hear more the meaningfulness of the spices on the chicken and the toy soldier in the music box breaks my heart open. Wow.

Once again, your writing takes my breath away. “Wondering what people want to hear when they ask, ‘how was your trip?’”made me stop in my tracks, knowing I’ve asked the same question while knowing this is so much more complex than this simple question.

Your writing takes me with you and makes me want to ask all of the questions that you want to answer.

Your bravery and your raw honesty in how you live, how you love and how you write continues to amaze me♥️

Thank you for your courage. The way you continue to show up for yourself and others is magic and it is so important. The way you pay such exquisite attention and integrate what you notice is astonishing and I hope to learn from it. I am so grateful you are sharing this with us.

Kari, thank you for sharing this with me. I love to do this exploring in community rather than isolation – especially with those who know the stories beneath the story. Thanks for being here, the feelings are mutual! 🖤
