One of those was the chance to listen to you speak to our program about your journey and living with an ostomy. You were eloquent, positive, and realistic. You have helped shape some of us to be better nurses (and people) by having the courage to be real and share your story. I look forward to sharing your blog as a resource for my future patients. Thank you! Gina Shoreline Community College Nursing Karen-

I send sunshine from Hawaii!! I hope this message finds you well. I'm an ostomate of 8 years after suffering with UC for 18 years. My colostomy has given me a new and better life as I struggled to bring up two daughters on my own. I just started my new blog and happened upon yours. I love the idea of your sharing your thoughts and writing from your 'hospital days'. Earlier this evening I read some very negative comments to another site and in my anger posted a message in general response to it. I realize blogs and comments are an open field for any and all but it's sad that some use it to hurt others. I hope your sharing brings a lot of healing to all who read it. I would like to add a comment on my blog about your poem and add your link. May I have your permission to do so?? Looking forward to your response! Aloha! faith Aloha!

I've been living with my ostomy for almost 6 years now. Time flies! Your style tips are great on here too. I find that if I'm covered well with a cute top that has just the right cut, I have so much more confidence. Wouldn't it be great to have a tv show like "What Not to Wear," but call it something like, "What to Wear With an Ostomy." I love straight talk about our challenges. It's so refreshing. I can't imagine all the suffering you went through before you decided to have your surgery. Mine was due to cancer and I'm just happy to be alive. Who cares how I have to go to the bathroom! lol Hi Karen! I think what you’re doing is great too! I’ve been living with my ostomy for almost 6 years now. Time flies!

I still remember talking with you by phone before I took the plunge to surgery. I can almost hear your voice, "it's not a bed of roses" you said, then went on to tell me of your active life. It was very special to meet you in person and to read your words here. Thanks for continuing to inspire and encourage! I am now simply doing what you did for me then.
