You can’t let it slide—you pick up the phone, you show up, you remember.”“No is a complete sentence.”“Everybody needs to feel seen and beautiful, no matter their age.”Kathy is a fearless adventurer and gifted photographer who has spent her life embracing challenge, cultivating lifelong friendships, and encouraging others to live boldly.
