Hei Dumpet bare innom fordi jeg søkte på navnet mitt. Det ble treff både på fornavn og etternavn. Ville bare si at hele siden gjorde inntrykk, og jeg føler med deg i sorgen etter din bror. Min bror prøvde det samme, men ble fanget i livet. Han lever et godt liv nå, heldigvis. Fantastiske bilder! Jeg har noen gode venner, skulptører som jeg har laget hjemmesider for. http://home.no.net/tonyand1 og http://home.no.net/eyvikorn Vennlig hilsen Vigdis

Hei igjen, tatt nok en kikk paa maleriene dine, vet ikke hvilke kunstnere du liker, eller inspireres av, men jeg synes du har enkelte elementer av Gustav Klimt og Alfonse Mucha i flere av bildene dine. Har du sansen for de? Liker Mucha veldig godt selv, i tillegg til mange andre. Ikke undervurder kunsten din. Kunst skal vaere personlig, du skal ha noe aa si og uttrykke, og det har du. Bare se paa Munch og Vigeland, kunsten deres va basert paa deres liv og opplevelser. Naar det gjelder det personlige synes jeg det er godt aa se en annen kunstner som tenker litt slik som meg, vi har litt til felles der. klem fra inga

I had a lumpectomy 4/12/02. I was supposed to start radiation, but the new medical oncologist read the pathology report wrong and was staging the cancer according to the tissue taken (4cm.) instead of the tumor, which was only .5 centimeters, and was saying I had to have chemo. It's all very stupid and I just want to get the radiation over with and the radiation oncologist won't get it started till she sees the pathology slides and the slides seem to have gotten misplaced. I am sick of it all and just want to get on with the radiation and get it over with, so I appreciate your message very much. Thank you.

I saw your picture "Exaulte Jubilate," which our marketing director Jill Prince has talked to you about using on our poster. Today we say the "rough draft" of this poster in our rehearsal, and everyone thought it was stunning. Thank you so much for allowing us to use this picture. It expresses so well the feeling of what it is to sing. Gordon Thomas President Idaho-Washington Concert Chorale U.S.A.

Want to congratulate you on the gorgeous and perfect painting that we are using on our poster for the Idaho-Wahington Concert Chorale. I feel the woman portrays well the beauty of singing. Thank you for letting us use it. By the way, are you of Danish descent? Langeland is also the name of a southern Danish island. My father came from Denmark and my maternal grandmother from Norway. All in all, it's great to have a Norweigian's creation on our poster. Mange takk.

I liked very much your picture about Exultate, Jubilate.I like singing, and lately it is one of my favourite songs.I like also dancing, and I try to do a little every day, although my eight hours work in the office as a technician. I like also the way you look at the life. I feel the same. I will sing again Exultate, Jubilate thinking on your picture. Thanks, Nuria, Barcelona

I was truly moved by this site. I found your art (and your life!) inspiring. I am only 20 yrs old, so I cannot truly begin to comprehend all of the trials and tribulations life has given you, but I extend my deepest sympathy and respect. There is often a very special bond between twins, and I am sorry for your loss. You are a very strong person. I was very impressed with your art. Particularly the ones titled "Kurdish children", "I wanted to paint Galadriel but...", and "And then you begin to arrange the blows to fall". I hope you don't mind but I have added a link to your site on my personal gallery page in the "other recommended artistic sites" section. You can view the gallery at http://www.angelfire.com/clone/rsitterly/index.html Please write me if you would like the link removed for any reason. Since you also take a liking to portraiture, you may like some of the drawings on my site. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing so much of yourself with everyone. I wish you the best of luck. - Richard

wow. it's amazing to me that you could open yourself up the way you have on this site...these things are not easy to do, but the strength you posess because of your life exudes from your words. your brother, tore, is with you every day. do you know that? he still loves you. he continues to live through you. because you share his life through this medium with the world, the world, in turn, acknowledges his life. and his passing. i, too, believe in God. i believe in the spirit world, and i believe we are still living after we pass. and it seems to me that tore is the spirit that gives you the faith to fight cancer, the faith to live on. your website almost does you justice...still, i think you are an amazing person. peace, friend. ali

I was just surfing the web and came across your web site and since you have an interest in art I decided to look further. My avocation is collecting antique and contemporary art, framing it and selling it to private clients. My oldest son and I are also amateur photographers. I use a digital camera and he uses both. We use the images to produce computer manipulated images which I creatively mat, frame and sell. I have recently set-up a web site where you can view some of what I am talking about and we also sell our wares on eBay.

I’m clearly a small-minded person, with my own petty grievances. Hopefully, my work transcends my own petty grievances and small-minded nature. It’s best for me to remain small-minded on an emotional level and broad-minded on a conceptual level. It doesn’t matter whatever it is that makes me do my work. Neurosis, obsession, wanting people to like me, wanting my parents to feel bad for underrating me, making a lot of money, power, social status, wanting girls to like me or just to meet one girl on a job. All of this doesn’t matter as long as the work that I do to achieve these small-minded needs is a lot more interesting than me and my reasons for making it.

Beautiful site! I found it by searching for information about "Exultate Jubilate" by Mozart and found your wonderful paintings. I understood some of your paintings better after having read your pages about your disease and for the loss of your twin. Let me say you are a talented artist, and a talented writer too. Although I was so lucky not to experience such tragedies, I think to have been able to understand what you felt in those situations. Best regards, Maurizio Tomasi.

I ran across "The Violinist" during a GOOGLE search for something quite different...and forgot what I was looking for. The the design, the colors and the flow are very moving and make me glad I can see. It also made me want to hear a violin or even better, two violins making love in a double concerto. Thank you.

Kjære Kirsti, rart å plutselig oppdage hjemmesiden din mens jeg søkte på kvasir etter et firma som heter Home Art. Jeg glemte alt annet og ble sittende og se på dine utrolig vakre bilder. Jeg leste historien din og ble rørt. Jeg er en kvinne på 51 år (journalist, skribent, mor, kone - mange forskjellige roller). Selv om jeg ikke har opplevd det samme som deg, har jeg opplevd sorg og smerte. Som deg tror jeg at det å skape er det mest helbredende som finnes. Jeg "falt for" bildene dine. Kombinasjonen av akvarell og blyanttegning. Ornamentikken sammen med de følsomme ansiktene. Arwen Aftenstjernen var skjønn, de andre også. Jeg så på fotografiene fra Frankrike. For en vakker utsikt å hvile blikket på. Du er et modig og rikt menneske. Jeg er glad jeg kom innom. med vennlig hilsen Anne Kari

Hi Kirstie, I've just looked at your website. I think your pictures are lovely. But then, when you come to my house in Pexiora, you'll see that I'm a big Klimt fan, and I can see how many of your pictures are derivative. I look forward to seeing you again next time I'm over in France - and working together next year! Will be in touch. Moira

Hello Kirsti, Linda from Vancouver Island, Canada. It's been awhile. Fighting breast cancer is very all consuming. I'm almost finished my chemo treatments, which was the strongest cocktail. I get a month off and then 25 sessions of radiation. Then it's back to my life...look out! My 50th is coming up on June 6th so I'm jumping off a mountainside to go paragliding down to the ocean! Your two paintings "after breast cancer surgery" and the one you titled Linda Main's picture have given me alot of strength when I needed it.I'll always find it amazing how I stumbled upon your website when I most needed, life is amazing at times! So, I'm feeling strong and positive and looking forward to getting my paints out again...we'll keep in touch...Love Linda

Hi Kirsti - I found your website when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer - last October, and sent you a note then. I've since had surgery, and completed 6-months of chemo-therapy, but am going back in (in the next few weeks) for a bi-lateral mastectomy - there are some questionable cells still lurking, and I'm not taking any chances! BUT - I didn't want to send you a note to go on about me - but to THANK YOU for your wonderful art!!! Everytime I think of my pending surgery, I bring up the piece that you did titled "After Breast Cancer Surgery" and it makes me feel strong and hopeful. You have no idea how much your art continues to inspire me. Bless You Dear Lady!

Dear Ms. Langeland I came across your evocative paintings while searching for pictures to illustrate a talk I am giving to oncology nurses. I am a psychologist who works in oncology and I am giving a training about the psychological side of the cancer patients experience. I was wondering if I may have your permission to use some of your beautiful paintings. I find that art often conveys more than words can. Sincerely Randi Greenwald Jerusalem, Israel

Managed to get Gunnar off the golf course and onto the beach half an hour south of Oslo. Very lovely little beach. We drank solo and ate troika very civilised . Am thinking a lot of you. xxxxxx. I did a painting the other day of a bright red amaryllis, my first painting in years.....but I enjoyed it and should try another one soon. Have been in and out of hospital too in last 3 months having lots of tranfusions as lots of problems "in there" so having a hysterectomy in 2 weeks.

May God Bless You and see you through to good health. You are a brave woman. I also had invasive lobular carcinoma diagnosed two years ago. I am 57 now and cancer free. (fingers crossed) I've been on Tamoxifen for two years now after the mastectomy and 4 months of chemotherapy ( C & A ) I am a mother of three wonderful grown sons. And I can't wait to see my grandchildren some day (when they finally arrive) I pray every day that God will give me that blessing as he has blessed me so much already by walking with me through this whole ordeal. He's walking with you as well. I met a woman from your site 3 years ago also with lobular and even though we are in different states, we have become very close. She is so impressed by your courage as I am. Thank you, Carol

Hei Kirsti! Åse Tundal tipset meg om dine sider, og nå har jeg vært innom å lest din dagbok for juni og juli i år. Du har hatt oppturer og nedturer, og det er med glede og sorg jeg leser dagboken din. Jeg hører stemmen din når jeg leser den, og det i seg selv er en glede. På tross av at du har fått kreft, så er det beundringsverdig at du klarer å holde motet oppe. Jeg lo og gråt om en annen da jeg leste boken din. først med den skjønne hunden din og deretter om sykdommen. Det er litt av et hus du har, det må være herlig med slike rom. Det er bare noe jeg kan drømme om. Jeg har vært i Hellas i to uker nå, og skal dra oppover til Øra, og hytta på Neslandet på tirsdag. Da får jeg nok besøk av Kirsten B. Vi skal drikke vin og prate sammen og ikke minst le. Jeg ler alltid mye sammen med Kirsten, og det er noe av den beste livskvaliteten jeg kan ha. Latter for meg er livets viktigste egenskap. Det er bot for sjelen. (Snakker om sola , Kirsten ringte meg akkurat nå.) Kirsti, jeg ønsker deg en fortsatt god sommer og ikke minst god bedring. Jeg skal sende deg noen varne tanker, og Kirsten og jeg skal skåle for deg i sommer. Ha det god. Klem fra Gerd

Hello Kirsti, I found your web page because I did a search on invasive lobular carcinoma. I am part of a USA study on breast cancer called the "Sister Study." This 10-year study involves sisters of women who have/had breast cancer. It studies their lives, health histories, diet, etc. Anyway, I don't really know what ILC means, and the study is asking what type of cancer my sister had. Her name was Jan and she also developed cancer in 1994. She lived until March 2003 with advanced, stage 4-5, beginning in her right breast. I will tell you her story if you are interested. I will pray for you and hope you will enjoy your life, pain-free. God bless your fight. Keep fighting it! Wine makes you hurt, lovely lady. Best regards, Kay Crehore

Dear Kirsti, I'm so very sorry that your ILC has progressed and so sorry you lost your dog as well. Like you, I have Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, Stage II, diagnosed and treated in December, 2002. My husband and I have two dogs we dearly love. We live in New Jersey, USA. I found your site long ago when I looked up my cancer via Google. You've been an inspiration to me. So glad to see you're fighting the good fight though it's far from easy. When you finish chemo, you may find that the hormonal drugs do you a world of good as you are ER positive. There are women who live for many years at Stage IV. I know this as I use a breast cancer message board online. Your art is lovely and you look better bald than most of us look with hair. Take good care. Love, Lynn

Kirsti, Your artwork is beautiful and very moving. I was saddened by your story and know this must be a strange and difficult time for you. One of my graphic designers (a young woman from Germany) found your site while searching for possible images to use for our annual Guide to Breast Cancer Resources. I am editor and publisher of a small regional publication for women in the States called The Women's Times; we publish two editions in Western Massachusetts and surrounds (west of Boston and two hours north of New York City) with distribution of 32,000 copies monthly. Our Guide -- started after several women connected with our magazine were diagnosed with breast cancer -- won a New England-wide award for excellence in journalism relating to cancer from the American Cancer Society. We would love to use your image "I dream black butterflies" as the cover of our 2005 guide, if that is possible. I do not know if you are well enough to consider this request, but if so, please reply to me by email (esills@thewomenstimes.com). We would be so honored. Our thoughts are with you. Warm regards, Eugenie Sills

I hope this is possible and you can let me know how I can pay for these. Hang in there, I'm the eternal optimist.

My dear friend, I've missed you. I came across an old email that a mutual friend shared w/us (poem below) and just had to come here to visit your art again. You're never far from my thoughts. I'll write soon. Having just passed the fifth year since we lost Jeff, I find this poem (author unknown) so profound. I'm still working on it, waiting for the day to come. TEARS OF REMEMBRANCE "There will come a day when the tears or sorrow will softly flow into tears of remembrance... and your heart will begin to heal itself...and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy...and you will hear the whisper of hope. There will come a day when you will welcome the tears of rememberance... as a sun shower of the soul... a turning of the tide... a promise of peace. There will come a day when you will... risk loving... go on believing... and treasure the tears of remembering."

I was diagnosed in May with invasive lobular (I'm 54)and had a prophylactic bilateral mastctomy. Also unusual here in the States, "what? You don't want to preserve your breasts??!!" No, I dont, get rid of them, get rid of the cancer. I am hoping to get back into some sort of art therapy, I was an art teacher before all this. Now I have no energy.

At this particular moment, I can't excatly say how I am feeling about my situation, but I can tell you that I am terrified. I meet with the surgeon on Friday, to get more details, so until then, I have sleepless nights, crying moments and hours of no appeitite.

Dear Kirstio, an invasive lobular carcinoma on my right breast was diagnosed in june 2005. I was operated (just lumphectomy) on the 1st of July an the final biopsy shows similar results as yours: 3 focus of invasive lobular carcinoma, 3 or 4 foci of lobular carcinoma in situ and... surely still more cancer left in the breast. But my lymph nodes are also cancer free. I should also take Tamoxifen for 5 years and undergo a second operation next week; before this second operation I should decide if I prefer a radical mastectomy or a partial mastectomy to determine if some souspicious regions in the upper part of the same breast are "positiv" or not and to remove more cancer that the surgeon might have "left" in the breast in the first surgery. This happened because the biopsy that they make during the operation was... WRONG!!! I really do not know what to choose! Thank you for your report! It is as if I would be reading my own story, told by a sensitive, special woman. I have learned a lot reading your words. Norma

Hello Kirsti, hope your doing well..think of you often. My 60 kil. walk was such an amazing experience. There was 1800 people and we raised 5.4 million dollars for Breast Cancer research, that was just Vancouver, Brithish Columbia. There will be walks in 5 more cities, I believe there will be over 12 million raised! My friend and I are going to have several benifit concerts over the next year to raise money for next years walk...yes we love the blisters on our feet! Well I have finally moved into our new place. We are on top of a small mountain with incredible views of the ocean and mountains. My focus is now putting a painting studio together and MAKE time for creating! I hope your creating new canvases. This would so theraputic for you. I would still love some of your work, it really touches me...your design and colors. Please keep in touch, love from your friend Linda

Hello Kirsti, I found your website and read it after looking for information for my Mom who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Your story moved me and your art work is absolutely stunning with so much emotion spilling forth. I was wondering if during this entire ordeal, you have changed your diet. There are ways through diet and supplementation to help cure cancer, even in the mestastis stages. We helped my Mother-in-law who had lung cancer and less than 2 months to live. We used a machine called The Rife machine, which helped her become cancer free after a long year of hard work, this included changing her diet and adding supplements. She smoked during this entire process and still beat the cancer. There are miracles out there, so stay strong. My prayers are with you! I will be passing your story on to my Mother. Thank you. Debra

I was surfing the web to find some info on invasive lobular breast cancer, and I came across your site. The way you tell your story is not in a pitiful way....but uplifting and enlightening. My best friend of 31yrs told me today she has breast cancer. It's ironic, but she found it while taking a shower on 9/24/05 - which is also my birthday. Too weird!! She is calm about it and I am out of control. It's all I can think about!! I just start crying uncontrollably. I think it's the shock of it all. Please feel free to write if you are feeling up to it.

I was told last Friday that I have stage iiia breast cancer. I am only 38 years old and it is very scary. I appreciate your honesty when describing what you have been going through. I hope you do beat it...and I think you should go visit your family and friends to get your spirits back up once treatment allows it. I am going for a modified radical mastectomy this Friday morning and am praying it has not spread. Please let me know if there is anything you can think for me to ask or to help with follow-up. I do not meet the high risk categories and the lump they removed last Friday was over 5cm. Thanks for posting your story. good luck.

Hei Kirsti! Takk for sist. Jeg leser at du har hatt det ekstra tøft etter jeg reiste. Men du står på likevel, jeg beundrer deg for akkurat det. Ja, jeg beundrer bildene dine også. Som jeg sa til deg, jeg kan drukne meg i dem, de rommer så mange følelser og har så mange fasetter. Jeg skal være med å arrangere en utstilling her i Lillesand til helgen. Det er ikke så mange bilder jeg har laget i år, men hadde jeg sittet oppe i natten hadde det kanskje vært flere. Akkurat nå passer jeg en 6 mnd eventyrblanding av en hannvalp for Dyrebeskyttelsen. Jeg er for gammel til å ha barn 24 timer i døgnet. Forresten, natten går greit, da ligger vi å purker og sover i senga mi. Da vet jeg i allefall at han ikke tygger på noe, og vi har det veldig koselig. Når jeg får litt inspirasjon igjen nå, så må jeg få oppdatert hjemmesiden min skikkelig. Det kan hende jeg kan gjøre den litt sofistikert hvis jeg virkelig tar i. Kanskje du kan fortelle meg hva du synes om designen osv.? Det kan være greit å få litt konstruktiv tilbakemelding av og til. De fleste jeg spør skal på død og liv være så hyggelige at jeg tror ikke helt på dem. Ha det godt så lenge, Kirsti Elisabeth

I appreciated reading your story. I lost my Mom to Lobular Invasive Breast Cancer, in a short three weeks after she was diagnosed. Praise GOD in your pain and suffering that HE has allowed you one more day. HE will never ask you to bare more than HE is willing to bring you through. Pray that HIS will be done in your life; thank HIM for every minute of every day; and ask HIM to forgive and save you when HE desides that you have suffered enough. Know that GOD is in control!

Hi Kirsti - found your website, whilst researching invasive lobular carcinoma - once again! I am a 17 year survivor of ILC - had a modified radical mastectomy in May of 1988, at the age of 45. Several problems over the years, but I'm still here!! However,I'm not the only one in the family to have it. My younger sister called me a month ago from England ( I live in Ontario, Canada ) to tell me that she had just been diagnosed with ILC. She had surgery 3 days ago - a lumpectomy and removal of 3 lymph nodes. Everything seems to have gone OK, but we won't know the final results for a couple of weeks. My thoughts and prayers go with you. Lynda

I was just diagnozed with lobular carcinoma of the breast. Will be having bone scan, liver scan and chest X-ray tomorrow and then see what to do. If anything suspicious shows up as a result of those tests, they will do a brain scan. Of course (old joke)they'll find nothing there!)If all is clear I'll have a lumpectomy. The article is of much interest to me and I will keep it in mind as I progress through this. I know God goes with me and has never left me stranded. I will be looking for the continuation of your story. vkb

I share in your pain. I to was diagnosed with Lobular Breast Cancer stage 4. For almost a year going back to the summer of 2004, I noticed that I was experiencing some minor changes in my body. My diet was not as big as usual, I was loosing a little weight, but I was also trying the Atkins diet. Sometimes I would have diahrrhea and get bloated for days at a time. I went to the DR. in March for an eye infection and I mentioned to him I was having digetive issues. He examed my eye, it was an eye infection, then he had me lay down on the table so he could feel my belly. He said I was 100% gasy and I was tender to the touch. I told him it was the 5th day of being bloated and was starting to go down. He was very concerned and thought I has a bowel obstruction. In 4 days I went for a CT and MRI. The results was abdominal fluid, dialated kidneys and a 2.5cm mass by my rt. ovary. He sent me to the top Gynocological oncoligist in California, right here in my home town of Palm Springs. He repeated the CT and sent me for an ultra sound. They showed the same thing. At first he thought a functioning cyst, he suggested waiting 2 weeks and repeat all again. I did and it was the same. He scheduled me for exploratory abdominal surgery. But before that I was sent to a Urologist for the dialated kidneys. I had to have stents put in both my uterers (sp)to open them up all the way so they could dump properly. In surgery my oncologist consulted with another Dr., he was confused by what he saw. Everything was sooooooo swollen and fluid everywhere. He did not find a mass, it was a swollen cystic ovary. He removed both ovaries and both fallopian tubes. He could not take the uterus, to much swelling and he feared to much blood loss. He did biopsy snips on all he took out, my small bowel too. Then he closed me up. 4 days later while still in the hospital the lab came back positive for Lobular Breast Cancer, very slow growing. No lump has ever been found. I hand mamograms and pap smears religiously every year all negative. I was then sent to the top in her field (breast cancer specialist Dr. Cynthia Leichman). Her and her husband (colon cancer specialist) have been in reseach for years, and are supposed to be top in their field. I love her, she is wonderful and a great Dr. At our first meeeting we went over everything and she had a plan. I started 2 kinds of chemo 2 weeks later. Taxol and doxol. I got the taxol every week and the Doxol every other week. I did that for 9 weeks with no side affects. I was re scanned and it was in remission. There were some tiny spots on my lower spin that were not picked up on the original scan and the chemo did not work for that. I also had a Pet Scan was came back negative (full body). Her next plan was for me to try the hormone blocker Arimidex. Because my cancer is hormone receptor positve, she felt this would work to clear up the spots on my spine and keep the rest in remission. I've been on one pill a day for 9 weeks, with very few side affects. Some muscle and bone pain, but not enough to take any pain killers. Today I was re scanned and I will get the results on Friday. My blood work has been great through the whole thing, I think in some ways I have been lucky that nothing has slowed me down, I've been working all along, taking care or 4 children, my husband and 13 dogs. I breed labs, Pugs and Chihuahua's. I pray to the Lord everyday and thank him for giving me the strength to fight this and keep going for my family. I know it is in Gods hands, I believe his plan for me is to fight and get healthy for myself and my family. This to will be continued if you do not mind. Tina Fountain

Kjæreste Kirsti For et par dager siden fikk jeg en veldig trist melding; snakket med Gerd Skjærvø som fortalte at du hadde fått kreft - igjen. Jeg har hatt deg i tankene hele tiden siden jeg fikk høre dette. Tidligere (da du var nyflyttet til Frankrike) var jeg inne på hjemmesiden din med jevne mellomrom. Etter hvert ble det sjeldnere, og det siste året har jeg helt uteblitt. Jeg beundret deg for valget du (og Nils) tok, og var så glad på dine vegne. Følte alt arbeidet dere la i huset, og hvor glad du var når dere lyktes. Derfor var det et sjokk å se hvor syk du har vært. Nå går jeg inn på din side hver dag, er så spent og gleder meg med deg når du får positiv tilbakemelding. Å finne ord i denne forbinelse er vanskelig, vet ikke hva jeg skal si. Bortsett fra at jeg beundrer deg veldig for din åpenhet og måten du formidler dine følelser. Det står veldig respekt av hvordan du kjemper og deler dine sorger og gleder med andre. Du er STOR Kirsti, på alle måter! Nå er du snart underveis til Sunndalsøra, og håper inderlig du får gode dager hjemme sammen med din nærmeste familie. Tenker på deg og ønsker deg alt godt. Stor klem fra Tove PS Maleriene dine er så vakre, men samtidig vemodige. Jeg er ofte inne for å se og dvele ved de. Selger du noen?

Hei Kirsti! Har vært på siden deres og lest om dere og livet her i frankrike. Fikk bare lyst til å si at jeg ønsker deg friskhet!! Ellers ble jeg veldig imponert av dine bilder og kalligrafi. Ble helt betatt av dem! Jeg kom inn på hjemmesiden deres på grunn av at Jan, min samboer og jeg skulle reise til Frankrike for å bo der. Da søkte jeg på ¤Flytte til Frankrike¤ på internett, og der stod dere øverst på siden. Syntes det var modig gjort å kjøpe hus og flytte hit, for selv om det er mange som drømmer om å gjøre det er det vel få som gjennomfører drømmen. Jan flyttet hit i april i år og jeg litt senere. Vi bor nå i en leilighet i Chantilly, litt nord for Paris og har bodd her i ca. 1 mnd. Jan jobber som tekniker på flyplassen Gharles de Gaulle. Ingen av oss kan fransk, men vi klarer oss allikevel. Synes folk er veldig greie og vi liker det vi har sett av Frankrike. Ha det godt! Mange hilsener fra Marit

Kjæreste Kirsti Takk for din tilbakemelding som jeg ble så glad for. Forventet slett ikke at du tok deg tid og hadde krefter til å svare. Desto hyggeligere var det! Vil bare si takk fordi du er den du er. Daglig er jeg nå inne på din dagbokside. Bildene dine gir meg så mye, de rommer så mye følelse og er så vakre, det samme som du er! Håper reisen gikk fint. Ønsker deg gode dager med dine i Norge. Tenker det er godt å være med familien. Utlandet er bra, men det er nå liksom i gamlelandet med familie, kjent kultur og ikke minst språk at en virkelig er "hjemme-hjemme". Det tror jeg gjelder for oss alle, samme hvor en kommer fra. Ønsker deg alt godt og riktig god bedring. Du er alltid i mine tanke. Stor klæm te dæ fra mæ. Tove SP

Heather and I have opened a forum for people who live in the greater Carcassonne area. I hope you don't mind but we discovered your website a few months ago and were struck by its strength and honesty, so upon developing our own site we have added a link to your site under Blogs. I hope that this is ok! Please advise. Also please feel free to join the Forum which I hope will become popular. Best wishes Alan Heather Gabriel and Raphael

So, how are you feeling? It must take all your energy to live without feeling your mortality. Just wanted to let you kmow I never forget you and now, people at my workplace know you through your art, too. Hope the money finally arrived. I am truly sorry for the delays. I did not know about them. I would never do anything to hurt you or take advantage of you. Still much love, always... Charles Peter

I've just been enjoying your galleries! Your work is beautiful. The patterns -wonderful, and you have a great sense of colour. I am a graphic designer and calligrapher in British Columbia, Canada. I wondered if you were aware of the international calligraphy magazine, Letter Arts Review? (available thru www.johnnealbooks.com) They have a yearly international competition, and I could imagine your work on the pages. It is wonderful seeing someone do a modern take on illumination. I also wonder if you have heard of Sheila Waters - the lovely detail in your work reminds me of her work. (http://www.calligraphersguild.org/aboutthe.html Anyway, my complements on your beautiful work - don't stop making art! Alice Young

Hello again, Kirsti - I have explored even more of your pages and I am so impressed with your art. My favorite: Portrait of a lady ... sublime! And the breast cancer images - reach out and touch the viewer... you have a strong feminine voice. I wish you all the strength and courage you need in your battle with breast cancer, and I hope for all the best for you. I will watch your pages - again, I love your work. All the best, always, Alice

Kjæreste Kirsti. Leser din dagbok daglig og skjønner du har det vondt, både fysisk og psykisk. Ønsker inderlig det var noe jeg kunne gjøre for deg. Kanskje det hjelper bare bitte litt at du vet at jeg (og mange, mange andre)tenker på deg, - ofte, ofte. Beundrer deg kolosalt for ditt pågangsmot. Håper du beholder det og også har krefter og lyst til å fortsette med dine fantastiske bilder. Håper at jeg på nyåret kan få kjøpe et bilde du har laget? Likeså er du så flink til å formidle dine tanker og følelser gjennom din dagbok. Er sikker på at det du gjennomlever er til hjelp for andre i en lignende situasjon. Du gjør det beste ut fra ditt nåværende ståsted og ser framover. Slik skal det være, Kirstimora! Jeg vil ønske deg og din mann en riktig god jul og at du under treet finner mye fred og lykke og at det nye året kommer fullt av gode nyheter og forblir alltid fullt av store gleder, tilfredsstillelser og ikke minst helse. STOR OG VARM JULEKLEM FRA TOVE S.P.
