“You are helping heal many hearts.” Ashley Massey
“I read the manuscript and then the published copy you gave June. My strength has been renewed….an absolutely amazing piece of work. I have also been a caregiver for years. I will treasure this book and learn how to plan for the future — mine and theirs.”
Having finished Exit Strategy last night I urge everyone to read it! Warm, informative, entertaining and just good common, caring sense are just a few adjectives to describe Kelsey’s wonderful tribute to all of life and to dear Bee. What’s your Exit Strategy?

Kelsey, You are a FORCE of NATURE. An honor to be in your whirlwind of benevolence this week at Life Wide Open. Thank you for including me and good luck with your book tour and all your endeavors. You take very good care, Kelsey, thanks again and thanks for your note on the CBS morning show. – Susan Werner
“WOW! WOW! What a profound impact the last two days of “Life Wide Open” is having on me. I certainly wish I could fully tell you all that is swirling around in my heart and spirit right now. I’m just trying to get my mind wrapped around it all right now. For the first time ever, I was clearly hearing my heart speak to me through everything that was being shared. Many times, I just sat there weeping as it was touching me in the depths of my heart and soul. I’ve been so lost for a very long time but the most challenging thing that has been before me forever it seems like is the fear of letting others fully know me or even trusting my heart enough to step out without fear of being rejected by others. I even was having a major panic attack leading up to last night’s gathering, but I knew I had to listen to my heart and show up. Not only show up, but I had to be present in the whole thing. I’ve spent much of my life rejecting and punishing myself. Until last night, I didn’t realize that my heart was challenging me to believe differently and to trust what it said about me. A trail of sabotage is long in my past because I couldn’t trust my heart in letting others into my life. I just felt that if they truly knew me, they wouldn’t want me. I took the step of trusting my heart in showing up last night and keeping my heart open at all times. Truly last night was a gift sent from God to me. Thank you for listening and for making a way for me to be there. So much to continue pondering, but I wanted you to know how grateful I am for all of you! Sending you all much love!” – Guest, Life Wide Open, Bend Oregon

“Just wanted to let you know, for what it might be worth, I’ve subscribed to all your blogs. Keep them coming if you would. We all need and enjoy them in our own way. For me, for example, knowing the sun will rise everyday– offers a certain certainty as well as puts lots of things in perspective. Things can’t be all bad if the sun will rise tomorrow.” - John

“I just watched your video on the Life of Bee and was reminded of my mom before she left this realm. She passed in March and lived in an assisted living facility her last 4 years. She suffered a mini stroke while there in her last 2 years. Your video gives me a glimpse of what her dementia must have felt like. Thank you.” – Illana
“Wow, what a profound message. Many things have changed in my life in the last few years. I fought tooth and nail against some of them but I am just now learning to embrace them. I am more than my physical body, my energy level, my kind and compassionate heart, my inner warrior, my inner poet and dreamer. I am 61 and just starting to embrace this. What a journey.” – Louiza
