One Embrace

Kevin E. expressed gratitude for Ben Collver

Thank you, Ben, for driving me to Little Wings Farm to pick up my CSA box two weeks ago. I enjoyed sharing tea with you and experiencing meaningful communication through our continued friendship over the years. I'm particularly grateful for your kindness, generosity, and authenticity.

Kevin E. expressed gratitude for lilly crowheart

Lilly, thank you so much for making phone calls on my behalf and setting up appointments for me when I couldn't do it myself. Thank you for going to medical and health-related appointments with me and being a sacred witness to my healing journey. Thank you for your sweet, lovely presence. I appreciate you. Blessings on your day!

Kevin E. expressed gratitude for charlotte taylor

Charlie, thank you for showing up for me. I appreciated when you brought groceries and other delicious foods for me when I was in my early recovery last December. Thanks for the seafood chowder, fish and chips, and sandwich. Thanks for sharing tea with me last time you came over. I look forward to sharing tea and space again (we can do it socially distanced, too!). Thank you for blessing me with your sound healing work in all the ways you do that in person and remotely. I appreciate you! Blessings on your day! :-)

Tea Poem
Willow branches graze the grass,
As I sit in the shade drinking tea.
A note from a flute blows clearly,
Mingling with the sound of rain.
I could sit here alone forever,
And still I'd never feel lonely.

Anonymous poem inscribed on an
old Yi Hsing tea pot

Kevin E. expressed gratitude for James Bartik

James, thank you for driving me to Urgent Care last December and helping me get home when I couldn't do that for myself. Thank you for coming over to visit me during my early recovery. Thank you for offering your kindness, care and concern for me. I appreciate you. Enjoy your day!

Larry Kaplowitz expressed gratitude for Benjamin Crandall

I am feeling extreme gratitude for Benjamin Crandall for the tireless dedication and endless hours of coding and creative problem solving he has dedicated to creating this Facebook interface for Kindista. I have no doubt this will be a great boon towards facilitating the sharing of resources and gifts in our communities.

Katherine Sloan expressed gratitude for Hannah Torres

Hannah Torres Massage Therapy & Bodytalk has improved my life immensely, and I just had to share. I had a free session through Kindista, and I gained so much insight into my health and my body stepped up to heal itself immediately. More to work on, much more, but looking forward to it, with my body as partner instead of enemy. Thank so much Hannah, and if you'd like more info please contact me or Hannah Torres.

Hannah Torres expressed gratitude for Katherine Sloan

I want to express gratitude for Kat for going out of her way to bring food to me when I was sick. Kat has a huge heart and does so much for other people without expectations. Thank you for sharing your space with me at the fair. I'm blown away by your generosity and kindness.

Carly Giesen expressed gratitude for marie c

Thank you for gifting me with the lovely cuttings. :)

Becca C. expressed gratitude for Margot Rawlinson

I got to spend 30 minutes with her during an entry, exploratory reiki session this week. I've received reiki before and to compare, Margot was incredibly intuitive- also fun and light. Her studio is a peaceful, no-frills space. After the healing we spoke for a bit and Margot offered a few free samples as well. Over all, the experience felt professional. It was a self reset.

Beatrice Dohrn expressed gratitude for Hannah Torres

Thanks so much Hannah for filling this need by sharing! I love this community.

Kali Beck expressed gratitude for Thomas Price

Thomas introduced me to this site and has shown me nothing but kindness and love. It gives me hope when I've been worn down.

Julie Lambert expressed gratitude for Jason Lieberman

Jason took care of me when I had a traumatic brain injury. He even fed my cats, and I was not a very nice person because of the injury. I will love him always for caring for me.

Benjamin Crandall expressed gratitude for Jason Lieberman

Thank you for filming my recent talk on gift economy at Oregon Country Fair. I really appreciate your help in spreading the word about Kindista and the growing culture of sharing we are creating.
