Faces of the Human Race

    The Zentrification of Kristen KS

    The Zentrification of Kristen KS

    written by Kristen Koester-Smith

    creation-handsThis blog used to be about travel. Me going from place to place. Now, it’s about something different–time travel, head travel, heart travel. My head and heart are in way different places than they were before I left the states and then returned. I’m a happier, more grounded person who can process emotions and situations with awareness and gentleness (most times at least, I’m still human!). It’s easier for me to see my own truth and not be swayed by others. I can see the ways my thoughts and beliefs affect my life directly.

About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Kristen

I write stories, essays, and poems. Sometimes I perform. Sometimes I have conversations with interesting people. I share what I learn because I believe there's no healing in hiding, our lesson's are not our own, and we are all one.
