EPISODE 13: Author/Creative Visionary/Superhero of Love Kathy Eldon Rocks Our World

Kathy Eldon lost her son, Reuters photojournalist, Dan Eldon, when he was stoned to death in Somalia at just 22 years old.  She and her daughter, Amy Eldon, began an extraordinary journey after that heartbreaking event.  They created a documentary entitled Dying to Tell the Story which premiered at the United Nations, and which asked journalists and journalists why they regularly risk their lives to tell the stories of tragedy.  This started them on a journey of telling Dan's and other stories through books, documentaries and feature films.  
Kathy's memoir In the Heart of Life chronicles how she has lived around the globe yet always nestled in her heart center.  She is the embodiment of open-hearted, but her greatest gift is being a spark for other's hearts to come alive in most powerful and creative ways.  She will likely spark yours.
