“Kristin, I knew your interest in nature and the outdoors would make you the perfect advocate for the film. This is a fantastic framing of the film, and very eloquent. It’s funny, I hadn’t really made the link to Campbell’s (Hero’s) Journey, but of course that makes perfect sense… I very much wanted this film to have a strong narrative dramatic arc (I studied narrative film at AFI), so I’m very glad that you emphasize the arc of the story. Bravo! Thank you for all your hard work on this.”

“How do you do it? You really nailed the story and theme – every word of your description of SARAH SQUARED sparkles! Your choice of images is mind-blowingly good! I wish I could wake up every morning to an email that sings like this.”

“I think you are a genius. Thank you for doing such a great job intuiting/interpreting the message and heart behind the film so beautifully! I love the way you articulate the vision!!”

“I think the series will be very, very successful. And with you behind it, well…!!!”

“Bill Baker (General Manager, WNET New York) called today about his upcoming project, “Picturing Mary.” He wants you on it, says you’re the best, and I agree.”

“It seems like yesterday that we were having tacos … and dreaming about what could be in store for Roadtrip Nation. You’ve built this together with us shoulder to shoulder for so many years now, and it is safe to say Roadtrip Nation would not be what it is today without you. I hope you know what a difference you’ve made to us personally, and all the people out there who’ve experienced it. Many of them would never even have known about Roadtrip Nation if it weren’t for you. THANK YOU for dedicating a part of your own journey to making RTN what it is today. We certainly would not be here without you. With much love and appreciation.”

“My Dear Friend and Former Colleague, I love reading about your adventures and occasional mis-adventures during your relocation efforts. If anyone can make this happen, it’s you.

“Kristin, I really love your writing, and this new little snippet of life finally pushed me out of my shell to reach out and tell you how much this , as well as your other posts, touch my heart and fill me with joy. FYI, my village’s bells ring three minutes early, and here, I get to hear the local goat herder’ flock’s bells jingle as they walk out of the village and then return again to go home in the evening. It’s the most beautiful, calming sound. Thank you for sharing your words.”
