Congratulations!!!! And i loved reading your bullet point list today. I smiled whenever I got to one that “I saw myself” in, because that also meant that I am not alone…because YOU wrote that, and you don’t know me, so that means that you or someone you do know has been in my same shoes…I am not alone, and that makes me smile…versus in those triggered moments when I felt alone…unlovable, alone, triggered…time to dig in to The Road Less Triggered!!! Here we go!!!
I'm so sorry I haven't read the e-book yet, Kelly, but I have a lot of trouble with digital copies. My eyesight is not good. I promise I will be reading the physical copy once it arrives, and I received a notification that it has shipped. :)
I read the book. It's wonderful. I could especially relate to the couple Henry and Sarah in the book. I cried when they cried several times myself. It reminded me of the times I cried in the other books from Kelly and the more wonderful part about that was how I could see what was happening to me before more clearly. I can see what is going on in me now with a level of understanding that I've not had in my life to this point. It does not feel less challenging or even less insurmountable, but I do feel like I have a way to accept just what it is I feel and can understand it better when I'm ready to try. Great stuff.
JC, I was just thinking this morning that not much mention was made of Henry and Sarah in our launch team meetings. A little voice in the back of my head was having second thoughts about that approach. You just silenced it. Thank you, my friend. 🙏
Kelly, your "characters" are literally the crux of what makes your writing so great. In your blogs it's about you, your experiences and your vulnerability. In the books its the people going through those journeys you send them on. They are significant. I don't relate to your science or the technical stuff. I like to hear it to assuage my curiosity and logical consideration of economic value for the time I might spend on using your techniques, but what convinces me of the value of what you say is all inside the dialogue of the people in your books. I like you, so your blogs mean something to me. I like your characters, so your books mean something to me. Think of the Bible my friend. That is some old, weird language and has a lot of stuff that just doesn't really make sense to most of us, especially among believers who tend to struggle with faith at times. Atheists have it easy because it's just made up, not of interest to them. For the rest of us it's the people. The men and women who have experiences and who we can relate to as they interact with God. We feel their pain. We see their challenges and vulnerabilities. I know many Christians rely on "evidence" to claim they know things are true but not one good Christian anywhere really cared so much about the evidence of some grammatical structure or geographical find. What if all that went away? I believed when I was a child and it wasn't some fantastical thing to me then either. I knew Jesus loved me then just like I know it now. It's the personal connection to God the people of God have felt for themselves from Him that pulls them to keep reading their dusty old book over and over again. It is the love they feel emanating from the words on the pages, relayed by real people with real experiences that we just know are true with no real evidence to prove anything. The value is in our hearts...our open hearts that allow Jesus to be in us and to be one with us....the great At-One-Ment is the ultimate open hearted thing to experience for each of us. The Perfection of Jesus is that He never once closed His heart. He felt His pain thoroughly and then He took on all the pain from everyone else around Him too. I never had to to meet Him to feel it. I read about it and then I reached out for myself in prayer to understand it. When I'm sincere and open my heart I get confirmation of truth on His redeeming love.
Yes, you did write it for me! (thank you, ha). What a feat. I know how much you poured into this book, and I pray that it gets into the hands of every single person who needs it. Wait..that would be everyone! Congratulations and kudos...I love imagining how many relationships this will help. Praying for that!

Indeed, you are not alone, Mary, and thank you for naming that for the rest of us! I'm so excited for you to dig in!
Congratulations Kelly. Well done..You’re an inspiration!
Thank you, Don, and the feeling is entirely mutual!
I started reading the book on Sunday and I'm excited to keep going!
Yay! I'm glad you already got it, Caitlyn. Let us know what you think when you're finished!

No worries, Jeannie, anticipation is half the fun! 😊 Can't wait to hear your thoughts once you've had a chance to read the paperback.

Congratulations!! I can’t wait to get my hands on this today and start reading! It is coming at a perfect time and I am excited to dive in!
I'm so glad the timing is right, Noelle, looking forward to hearing how it lands for you!

From your lips to God's ears, Donna. Here's to the ripple effects from this day!
Such an exciting day! Just downloaded 5 hours and 50 minutes of wisdom and hope onto my phone. Thrilled for you, Kelly. 🧡
Thank you, Erin! You'll hear it before I do, I'm still too nervous to listen to the audio! 😂
Congratulations! So excited for you and for all of us who are bringing more openheartedness into the world!
That's it, Susan, it's not about a single book, it's about a communal effort. Thank you for naming that!
Beautiful email I am so glad you sent it to remind us all that everyone is human. Everyone struggles.
