My name is Kim Copeland. I am a yogi and a minister and I support a community of seekers who are open to drawing closer to God.
This blog documents my odyssey. On June 9, 2010 I found the man that I was going to marry dead in his home. His name was Kesner and he was wonderful.
Three months after he died I began to write and the journey evolved from there. If you’re reading, I think it makes sense to start at chapter 1.
Thank You Very Sweet.
My darling Kim you are amazing
Aunt Pepper
Thank you Aunt Pepper 🙂 Love you!
Kim, sweet Kim,
You have found an incredible way to help you heal, and more importantly, to aid others in whatever healing and learning phases they might be going through. As you may recall, Uncle Ralph and I experienced the unexpected death of our “then” only granddaughter, Ariana; so as I was reading with tears, punctuated a few times with laughter, I must say that some of my pain of that loss was revisited. The acceptance of the death of a loved one is a process and I am relieved and comforted to know that you are finding your road to recovery, healing and hope. You are and have always been an incredibly gifted young woman, blessed with resilience and the great gift of communication. Use these gifts through the sharing of “your stories” to help others in the process of helping yourself. I will now look forward to receiving what I am going to call “Kim’s Epistles” each Sunday. Know that your Richmond family, Aunt Judy and Uncle Ralph love you and look forward to giving you big hugs a couple of Sundays from now when you deliver what I know will be a beautiful and powerful message in your grand father’s church, Bethany.
Thank you Aunt Judy!!! I love you too!
You are a beautiful and a very strong young woman.
….lean not unto thine own understanding…in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path
I am praying for you.
Thank you for your prayers!
Your journey will enrich others!
I really hope so! Thank you!!

I read about your blog on Rutgers Today. It is a touching and beautiful tribute to Kesner, and to the power of love. God bless you and best wishes in all your future endeavors!
Thank you very much. God bless you also!
Kim,
I never met Kesner, but I remember watching him wrestle for Essex Catholic way back when. I don’t know why but his name popped into my head today, so I googled his name and to my surprise I found out he entered into heaven. I just read your entire blog and it really touched me. Keep his memory and he will live forever. Good luck to you. You seem like an extremely enlightened person
Wow thank you so much. And thank you for remembering Kesner after so many years :). God bless you…
Beautiful to share your journey to help others through your healing process.
I found your Blog through copying a picture from Bing for our church facebook page. Wow…you never know how the Lord puts people together. God bless.
I am sad that I am so late in finding your blog.I am so glad that we reconnected. Strangely, you often pop into my head (maybe it is the Pisces in me) I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and I find your word refreshing!
