Through her speaking and writing, Kelsey’s book, Exit Strategy | Leaving this Life with Grace and Gratitude, is now in its fully revised second edition, Kelsey’s “no holds barred” manner forces us to recognize we are not only all in this together, but we are also all going to exit at some point, and perhaps our own exit strategies will help to live each day we have here more fully, genuinely and lovingly.
Near her Sisters, Oregon home, Kelsey speaks regularly at the Spiritual Awareness Center at the Old Stone Church in Bend, Oregon on a series entitled “What are We Waiting For?” and at Wholistic Compass Workshops with Partners in Care in Bend on coping with and overcoming illness and life changes.
