Changing Tides

Changing Tides is an inspirational testament through poetry- how your faith in yourself, your faith in something bigger and more powerful than you, and the choice to grieve and to live brought healing to the darkest of days, to your shattered heart.

I cherish your words and your journey for they inspire me in the work I do. I look forward to the book version, the photos are perfect!

Katy has given me, what I believe to be, enormous insight into the journey of grief, psychologically and spiritually. Her vulnerable and transparent stories invite us to bring our own woundedness into the light. The beauty of her poetry settles deep into the recesses of the heart and is a resource I will gladly read again and again as well as recommend often - not only to those who are trudging through the loss of a loved one, but to those who also walk beside them.

"As a society we tend to put limits on the grieving process. Katy reminds and reassures me that grief comes in waves. It goes in and out like the tides and it is ok to be where I am right now. It is real, it is all important and it will change."  One'

"Some people think of grief as a 5 step process. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. The truth is, it's a little bit of everything and a lot of "in between". This collection feeds into the raw and unexpected places of grief that leave you in the "in between" of who you were and who you will be."

"Breathtaking Ocean images amplify the internal tides of emotion and perspective."

"Shock, heartbreak, laughter and treasure.... it is all here."
