I am so looking forward as I pre-ordered my copy from my local bookstore. Unfortunately I haven't been around to pick it up yet! But I know it's here and I'll have it by Saturday. April 16 is my mom's birthday. She was 89 on your books' 'birth' day. She doesn't run but raised two runners. I can't wait to read it! I see flashings all the time. Mostly when I run, but so many other times too. Sometimes I think the flashings are telling me something, sometimes I know it is too appreciate what I just experienced. Thank you for your writing and sharing.

I have pre ordered my copy of your book and looking forward to its arrival. I am sitting here avoiding my long run because its grey skies and pouring rain, I am going to use this as a reminder to be aware of brief flashings today

Thank you Katie for this reminder to look for the brief flashings. It’s so easy to miss them in the bustle of life, and I agree that taking the time to see them is a powerful act. Looking forward to the book!

Photos showing people looking at the eclipse was maybe a collection of brief flashings. Everyone looked happy and in awe of what was happening! I felt good seeing so many people taking time to see this event and knowing we shared how it felt.

“In truth, the flashings are actually very ordinary and beautiful—beautiful because they are so ordinary. Moments when you catch your breath, look again, and understand that you are alive, here in this moment, that you are part of everything and everything is part of you.”

I love this sentiment and look forward to reading your new book!
