Your comments about searching for scraggly cedar Christmas trees brought back memories. We didn't have store-bought trees until I was a teenager. I still have the habit of noting possible future candidates whenever I walk through the woods where I grew up. Your writing style reminds me of something by Donna Tartt - eloquent and unhurried. Thanks for sharing.
This compliment is golden to me -- I have loved Donna Tartt since A Secret History came out when I was at FAC reading words and writing them. When you're in the woods on your walks, send me photos of the tree candidates. Scraggly cedars are little works of art. Thank you for reading my words and letting me know what you think. I'm going to carry the Tartt reference with me always.
Again, yes! Your words on asking for what you want and fear of your own power… and allowing! We need a lot of encouragement to remember our true selves (not change ourselves). Thanks for keeping the light on.
That light has been pretty sturdy despite the hurricanes, earthquakes and all the other things. I thank YOU for keeping the light on and doing light work in this world. And thank YOU for reading my words and supporting my nonsense for a very, very long time.
As I kept waiting for you to introduce past love interests, I realized in late in the chapters that you said, ten times no to love, to Christopher.
Kimberly, your writing gave me new perspectives on life, your surroundings, and even inanimate objects like elastic bands!
This gave me a tear, “I want to be frustrated in airports with you. I don’t want to experience this alone anymore.”
You summed up Christopher as magical, grounded, life-giving, timeless and thoughtful. “He’s a changeling, a forest elemental, a gift of spring water, trees, and turkey feathers.”
Wishing you both the very best of marriages! I’m glad you finally discovered the comfort of true love. “…having spent a lifetime searching for something that was with me all along.” It’s a beautiful love story.

So beautiful and powerful I have no words.
I’m so grateful for you and for your work and for reading my words. And I thank you for this epic comment. ❤️
