Welcome to Transformation Talk. Every Thursday for a year, starting in September 2012, I’ll post an interview with someone who is a force for good in the world. These men and women have either deepened their passion or found their calling after experiencing a loss, trauma or diagnosis.

I want to broaden the conversation around grief and its transformative power. My hope is that in their words you’ll find echoes of your story. In their inspired actions, you’ll see yourself and your immense possibility.

This week I’m talking with Kristin Noelle, a writer and artist whose passion is to help us all live into an ever deepening trust. I was first drawn to Kristin’s beautiful work several years ago and found in her a kindred spirit. I gave her artwork to the participants at my Picking Up the Pieces retreat in 2011 and am thrilled to share her with you here.
