Kim and Rikki look back at 2022. They talk about Covid, policies, and challenges with family, the system and the institutions.

Kim talks about a personal situation that has hit close to home when her 2 year old grandson was shot in October.  How her thought process changed regarding the criminal justice system and what should happen to those involved.  Listen to the heartfelt story and her reaction to it.  

We all need to remember that words can be both helpful and hurtful.  When they hurt us “they cut like a knife”.  Even if that is not what we meant for them to do!  

Kim talks to Deacon Tom in this final section about helping families, how to help, and what he thinks is needed for the future.  When a person is sentenced the whole family is sentenced.  When the come home, the whole family needs help with re-entry not just the incarcerated person!  Take a listen

Kim talks to Deacon Tom about his Support Group.  He tells us why he started it and the families involved.  We discuss how society judges them about their love ones, what they go through and what they really need.

Kim talks with Deacon Tom about working with individuals in custody. Listen to his thoughts on how things are, and could possibly be better. 

Kim talks about how one thing leads to the next and then to the next.  It starts to define us and gives people an image of who they think we are.  Is it really you?  Or are you just not watching?  

Kim talks about letting life go by and not living it to the fullest. We often make decisions on the basis of others, the future, and not the here and now. We all need to live in the moment!

Kim gives a Post It Note reminder of what we need to remember.  She breaks it down so specify that you can actually post it on a Post It Note and place them on your mirror or refrigerator!  Take a listen ….. we ALL need these reminders!

It is amazing the support there is on Facebook for women supporting loved ones in the system.  The knowledge and love in these groups with no judgment or disrespect is what everyone needs!
