About the Author

C.K. Collins, aka Kelly, writes about her five-year journey back to empowerment, joy, happiness and love. In gratitude and recognition of the gifts of love she has received, Kelly unfolds her ongoing journey to wholeness through storytelling and shares the lessons she learned from her friends all over the world.

Believing that travel feeds the soul and grows the heart and mind, Kelly embarked on a two-year travel sabbatical which so far has included trips to Utah, Grand Canyon in Arizona, Buenos Aires, Patagonia, Portugal, Spain, Italy and a 30-day sailing rally from Los Angeles to La Paz, Mexico.

Her inner healing has been a grassroots effort, surrounded by supportive friends and family, who held her hand, shared her pain and hugged her through a lot of tough moments following a traumatic divorce.

Kelly is diving into writing books that empower people walking the tough path of loss. She believes that gratitude, empathy and love are the recipe for a fruitful and joyful life.

Kelly originally hails from Tennessee where she was an award-winning news publisher and owner of her own hyperlocal news company. She left the news business in 2021 after selling her company to a larger publisher. She has been traveling the world as often as possible.

Her next books will include stories and lessons from her adventures and the amazing shifts in perspective acquired through solo travel.

With her three beloved daughters is where she feels most wholly loved and seen.
