Creating and Connecting
Kathryn Costa (also known as the Collage Diva) knows transformation and has experienced for herself the deepest meanings of personal connection.
From chubby to chic
From sad to sassy
From lost to found
From hurt to loved…
Kathryn knows the power of forgiveness and the art of loving kindness. She’s found peace and wants to share the transformative practice of journal keeping with the world to help others live a harmonious life. Kathryn writes on topics from love and gratitude to letting go, forgiveness, and courage.
Her creativity and joyful spirit inspires readers from more than 75 countries who visit her blogs truenortharts.com and collagediva.com.
She’s a writer and artist who captures the beauty and grace in everyday living. She resides in New England with her Brazilian husband Fernando Costa.
