About the author

Kim was born in Akron, Ohio, where she spent most of her life, except for the five and a half years she lived in Kennesaw, GA. She met her husband of 32 years in high school. While raising two children, she pursued a successful career in risk management and quality control, and later left the corporate world to start a small business with her husband. Together, they operate Two Old Souls, Inc., a licensed, full-service online auction firm specializing in downsizing and estate sale auctions. They also operate a vintage collectibles store called Reinventing Secondhand Vintage Treasures. The environment is important to them, and their passion is to keep as many vintage treasures as possible from reaching the landfill.

Kim is a voracious reader and has always had a penchant for writing and editing. She especially enjoys helping others share their stories with the world, offering ghostwriting and editing services, as well as general remote office support to small businesses, authors, and entrepreneurs. She often writes about how examining the past is crucial to understanding our present, and that reinvention is an inherent part of being human. Staying true to the core of who you were meant to be is most important, she believes. We all have a unique brand of wisdom that comes with being "vintage," which must be treasured.

Kim is passionate about her family, her dachshunds, writing and nature. She advocates for better diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain, illness, and rare diseases, having survived a rare spinal tumor in 2017. She appreciates all who read her work and welcomes feedback!
