Kelly, you’re an amazing writer and I’m so moved by your video/speech that I’m sharing it with everyone in that circle you described so well. An interesting lesson learned for the love of guess jeans too huh? (I watched a few videos besides this one)
Thank you for sharing, I’ll be getting your book and watching for your works.

I also love the colors and design of this website!
