Thank you soooo much for being there for Stephanie and I this past year:) You truly helped to fill in the family gap of support for us with Kadupul Flower. As housebound as I have found myself to be at times and with Stephanie, myself and our dog Pollyanna, often feeling like an island floating about in a sometime rough sea…

your support of Kadupul Flower has truly blown my mind. She launches tomorrow everyone:) 🙂 Group project applause … I hope u don’t mind if I see her as partially belonging to all of us.. since you wonderful blogging family.. have so compassionately and generously joined Stephanie and i on this vision/ call. If you are of a mind to.. Please pray that the Lord will use KF however He intended when He called us to write.. that His anointing will accompany all who read it.

Please pray also, that the enemy will cease to attack.. and that those troubling us.. will be restrained from doing so.. this last attack was so severe so shocking and such a betrayal / that although I don’t want to.. i keep looking over my shoulder for the next blow.. such cold hearted hatred.. from another.. is truly astounding.. and has greatly exacerbated the severe debilitating muscle cramping.. and resultant insomnia I have been experiencing much of the last 3days..

But then of course … God’s blessing.. my publisher has my back, KF is in 8 libraries:) and Stephanie has sent the attacker a most serious cease and desist letter.. and KF launches tomorrow:)… and Stephanie’s support… it is so amazing to have her support which isn’t limited to just an astounding legal understanding of what is going on.. but additionally.. she has been jumping up from her bed the last couple days/ nights when she hears me writhing and moaning in pain to offer aspirin, back rubs, fluids, and even red light therapy. And that is much isn’t it? To suffer like this is quite honestly.. very hard for me… I miss being up and about in our beloved Meadow Arc, .. but to truly know how much my daughter loves me makes beauty outweigh the ugly. God is good:) She even ran out this Am to get me some easy to access and eat food and a stuffed Woodstock animal, all the while offering, to stay home since this isn’t life threatening , we decided that it would be best for her to head out to work..

Update on our end:

During this bout the cramps in my shoulders get so bad that I could/ can not for hours.. do anything at all.. even type.. but I am thankful for these moments where it is not too bad and I can..

Due to physical limitations.. UC Merced has kindly given us a raincheck:)

We were blessed to be able to participate at the Writing Summit.. ( Stephanie was briefly interviewed:) and we are planning to present at one of our local libraries in November.. ( Stephanie will do the introduction:)

The launch party is postponed.. buuut.. we do hope to order Italian in to celebrate tomorrow:)

When able I will get back to the joy of checking in on my blogging pals.. hopefully this cramping .. episode will pass soon.. so that I can get back on my feet again

I miss taking a shower lol.

Lots of love:)

Kimberly

Ps.. I have had a hard time editing this.. due to pain.. and I fear some of it may be redundant.. but honestly.. just felt the need to reach out during this time.. to feel less alone.. to remind myself that others ( humans ) do care.. that family comes in a multitude of packages.. that I am not the lies coming from those from whom it feels like.. want to destroy me..

Thanks..

Kimberly
