I had no idea that you went through this. It made my heart ache, not only because you went through it but also because I wish that every time I thought: Niki, is so brave, YES Girl! I totally Agree, or said to a friend, "you have to read what Nicole just said, it's dead on" - that instead I also sent you a message saying those things to you too. I bet that like me, there are more people who also are grateful for your courage, for giving words to our thoughts and feelings, for making us feel regulated and saine in some really insane situations. Your courage has given me courage. You have a unique and special ministry and myself and my family are behind you 100%. Whatever you get going, I join, support, etc not just out of being a huge fan of you but because I believe in what you believe in. I know that if you are behind it, it is trustworthy and true. My stance takes much less courage than to be the one who is blazing the path that others can jump on with you. But maybe just by knowing you're not alone, you are supported, even if it is years late, my support will still surround you and buffer you. If opposition comes again, I hope my voice echoes in the back of your mind and that you know I'm in the background cheering you on (and my mom and sister too). I am challenged to be more vocal with my complete adoration of you. That has never changed in all these many years. Kathy
What a breath of fresh air you are. Thank you so much for your kind words and your support. I wish we could talk this all out over a cup of coffee. Miss you. ❤️
Yeeees. Oh, my goodness, yes please! I'm emailing back to the email address I'm subscribed to for you, where I get your updates on your favorite things, new books, etc. Is that the best spot to reach you? I'm going to reach out to all known email addresses :)
My son sent me a series of questions to write about. One of them was about a time I was brave. I thought about it for some time and then wrote to him about the most cowardly moment of my life. But I’m not a coward, nor am I a hero. I am flawed and learning as I go, whether my acts are perceived as brave or cowardly, they are human, but only if I learn from them. Otherwise I am simply one more animal on an overpopulated planet of animals. Acts of cowardice, like mone, abound. Acts of bravery result from what we learn from our cowardice.
Dear Nicole,

That sounds like a piece of Heaven. We need to make that happen some day. I miss you too. 💗
Let's Zoom.

I think that's very profound: acts of bravery result from what we learn from our cowardice. Well said and true. Thanks for sharing.
