Kathy Wright is not only a worldwide traveler but a scientific researcher from the University of Illinois, who studied the effects of antibiotic use in animal feed. After the powerful impact of the birth of her first child, she changed careers in her thirties. She became a certified nurse-midwife, delivering more than a thousand babies. In her search for more of life’s meaning, like Elizabeth Gilbert in “Eat Pray Love”, she traveled and studied meditation, yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, aroma therapy and other philosophies that drew her in. As she explored these in her travels and studies of other cultures, she learned more about herself and what was truly important. By doing this she honed the qualities she considered essential to her healing from the frightening diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Her passion for life’s spiritual meanings and recognition of the sacred moments that abound in our lives is evident in her writing. She weaves the stories of her travels both within ourselves and within the world into a book rich with imagery.
