Kind Words

In Loving Memory

of my Dear Friend Kathryn…This Is For You.

We all have those women in our lives who are Soul Sisters ~ it’s like we’ve known each other multiple lifetimes. Kathryn was one of my Soul Sisters. I knew when she left this world, after her battle with breast cancer, that it was time for me to use the memory of her spirit and friendship to truly step into the vision I had shared with her so often… but ‘never got round to it’.

Kathryn, I got round to it.
Much love and I know you’re with us all the way…
