This book might just cause you to step out and do something that you’ve never done before for the benefit of someone else.”

She is inspiring, relatable, and has a very important story to share about choices, “composing” our own lives. Kathy shares her story in a way that is transparent and eminently honest. We laughed, we cried, and, perhaps most importantly, we gained insight and energy for our own spiritual paths.”

If you’re considering a speaker on the topic of God’s marvelous grace to change us as individuals and to change our communities, then Kathy Izard is a perfect choice. People in our community are still talking about her and her message. The inspiration has extended far beyond just that Friday evening in March.”

I have received numerous compliments regarding both the event and the way that her message has become a “whisper” for some. The accolades continue to come in!”
