In a time of real life heaviness and a world that seems to be hanging by a terrifyingly thin thread: Kassie, Sloan, and I (Kari) present to you the wisdom and guidance of Kassie’s mind in 2006. You’ll find solace in the depth of her 12-year-old life experience as we explore her journal and the heaviness of her life at the time. She never ceases to amaze us though, as she prevails in the face of the heaviest life trials with an endlessly positive mindset and “everything happens for a reason” mentality.
We hope you create space to join us on this weekly journey.
