I met Katie through a mutual dear friend from The Relational Center, Dan Fink. On first meeting we spent an uplifting night of getting to know each over dinner in Seattle. It was her birthday and my nephew was with me. No matter what is going on, Katie approaches life with joy. Her spiritual wisdom is profound and always inspiring.I am very grateful for our friendship. – Stephanie Michele
