My dear Cathy, your voice cannot be stilled. Writing IS your lifeblood. Thank you for sharing all you do and all the help you provide others with your information and inspiration! Transitions and challenges just provide that much more fodder for your pen (or keyboard)! Blessings to you!

Oh Cathy, moving and leaving behind memories and spaces is so hard...but we don't know what blessings will happen in new places. My husband really wanted to move 5 years ago. I thought he was crazy. I went along with it -- what else could I do?! It truly was a blessing - and taught me lessons about things, about my identity, and what made me happy. I love your writing and the mission and focus you have. You are a wonderful leader and educator. Peace and blessings on you in this time of transition. <3

Love your writing, Cathy! Love the way you help and empower others through your gift. A move, even if you are excited about it is so exhausting and such hard work. Sorry this is a difficult transition for you. Blessings!

Keep writing, my friend. I know your plate is very full right now and this is such a challenging time but I hope you'll find comfort in the fact that your words mean so much to so many. And, by the way, there are lots of nice places available in San Diego. xoxo

Cathy, to continue your writing is a mitzvah. Everything you have to say has meaning to all sorts of people. I'm sorry you are leaving your home, but perhaps something wonderful is waiting! You deserve the very best.

Dear Cathy...as you know, we too are feeling the "plethora" of emotions that comes when you leave a place of comfort you have called "home" for many years. NOT necessarily fun or filled with JOY.....BUT (here it comes) whether you are in your 80's , 20's or anywhere in between, all wordage aside, shedding old skin is actually freeing. Prayers as you continue this journey we call "moving". Love you so much. "Mom" P.

Change is so hard, I know. I've moved so many times in my life I can't keep count and the one takeaway I can share with you is, every move is an adventure full of opportunities for growth. Thinking of it that way may help you turn the sadness around and replace it with optimism. In any case, please don't stop writing. b

Cathy, I know what it feels like to get blindsided by life events. Balance is a tricky thing, made trickier when the ground shifts beneath our feet in ways we can't control. I know why the hell you keep writing, and I think your friends and supporters do too. This is an impressive body of work--you're doing all you can and then some. I say: You go, girl!
