Hi Katherine,

You have a beautiful way of expressing gratitude that hits home for me. And this is what Medium taught me, too. Being grateful for the experience, the incredible writing we get to read out here, the courage we need to open our hearts, and the joy that returns when we meet like-minded souls.

My writing journey began 3.5 years ago, and I had no idea it would mean so much to me. It's a rail in times of trouble and pain. Because there’s always someone out there having your back.

Let’s fill this gigantic book with whatever heals our bruised hearts. So that we can return to peace and grace—the way we’re meant to coexist.

A hug is on its way to you,

Kerstin
