"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, and find your eternity in each moment. Wealth is the ability to fully experience life. Goodness is the only investment that never fails. Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake." —
What a delightful treat to read when I find myself awake at 2:46am! I am
O B S E S S E D. So invested. You truly have such a gift Jess. I love hearing details about your life that make us feel more connected to you. Funny how tragedy and trauma do that, right? I love that you share community responses that are similar to how me and mine interact over your delicious journalism! I also love that you have brought others along the way that we aka I become just as enamored and invested in (Denise, JBB & Emilie-whom I already had adored🤩). It’s refreshing to hear all the enthusiasm you encounter over RFK Jr. it’s refreshing and makes me excited and hopeful! So far I think this is my fave series you have shared to date!!!! AND THAT is saying something because everything you write becomes my favorite!
What a gift it is to discover similar humans of the female sort. You are a rare thing; perceptive, curious to borderline voyeur, kind but spicy. The child who refused to be plonked down intellectually speaking at the children’s table, but has Algonquin aspirations. A small old person in the best way!
In the 70’s living in Singapore as an expat kid- my little 5th grade bestie and I did not think it odd to lie to our mothers by using our movie money to take taxis to The Shangri La Hotel. We would order 1 sm Orange Juice and a tall Cola with lime and position ourselves. A few hours taking notes, with illustrations of course, of the Euro businessmen meeting up with young Asian beauties in the lobby. Then we would discuss, as we hid behind enormous copies of Hello! Magazines to throw them off our stakeout. My mom had no idea! Ahh the 70s. So I appreciate you more than words can say here. Have always loved the Kennedy family. You have more divine appointments ahead.
This was one of my all time favourite reads and I’m dying for the next chapter. Your story telling is sublime and your new sense of confidence is shining through. This story had everything. I am heartbroken to read about your dad, and grateful you shared in such a beautiful and raw way.
Six month synopsis. Well done! Peeks inside your life are almost sacred spaces that i, as a reader, feel honored that you share. It’s not gratuitous fodder to establish authenticity, it’s just the journey of your life. We could all learn a bit from you about sharing those things.
I am so excited to read more about this visit. And yes, everyone’s home tells more about them than they realize so bring it on!
Scrambling in the dark to find my glasses, it instantly becomes a true blessing to wake up to such a remarkable treasure. I have played this twice and listening intensely, I have concluded that the second time surpasses the initial experience. There are numerous depths and astounding revelations about both you, Jessica, and the extraordinary often magical individuals you are depicting in your writing.
Your style of writing lay’s out for us, a visual picture of what you are doing and what is out in front of you. Speaking for myself, I want to know everything you mentioned!
I want to know what skincare products Melania uses and what she eats. What perfume does she wear? It all says so much about a woman. She’s such a mystery! Very rare these days.
I sobbed reading this. What an inspiration. Is it possible that Hope and Humor are still alive. I’m riveted and waiting for more per usual with you.....
Wow, I am honestly speechless. The way that you paint the picture and really create a setting that we can all feel like we are a part of is truly special. I felt like I got to know you in this and feel drawn to you more knowing that you have gone through so much in life. I had an idea that you may have faced some extreme adversity due to the fact that I, like you, seem to float toward people who have gone through extreme tragedy, trauma, etc. because it usually makes for better people. That being said, I am sorry for all the struggles you have faced in this life, but these struggles made you one hell of a woman and you should be so proud of yourself. That psychic reading sounds intense for both of you. It's amazing how people can be so tuned in!
You are a beautiful writer. You got me hooked right away. I am hopeful that since there is a year until the election, people will see Bobby for what he is. Who in the world would want to go through all of the turmoil he has to endure? Without sounding woo-woo, and also because of the tarot portion of your post, I think he has a calling. I was fortunate to meet him in Austin when he was here and he's just a special human. Please keep writing about him. I am going to include him in my posts in one way or another, from now on. I don't have a big following like you, but the more people we get to at least have an unbiased view of the man, the better it will be for all of us. Rock on Jessica! I think you too have a calling! ♥️ PS My newsletter is sabrinalabow.substack.com
Thanks again! Another captivating installment on all things RFKJr ... but you brought us in to your own story too and we are here for it. You have quite a way, Jessica Reed Kraus. Can’t wait for the next one. Your writing makes me feel a little like I’m dreaming about my childhood in the 70s... it’s timeless and refreshing and just what we need. 🙏🏼💫♥️💥

Stahp it! :-) This article was pure pleasure to read! I’m reading it now on the east coast, coffee in hand - absolutely riveted, enjoying every paragraph. Looking forward to more! This style of writing is art.
Absolutely enthralling - am loving this intimate view of someone who could very well change the future. Being on the other side of the world I’m only minimally affected by US politics, but I’m so very committed to history and the Kennedys are royalty! I don’t think even you see the connection you are showing between the UK royals and these US ‘royals’ - it’s always about families, secrets, aspirations and homes. It’s absolute magic what you are bringing us Jess, thank you.

Are we all reading at 2:46 am? Just wondering. Also, it’s amazing that your words to Jess expressed perfectly how many of us feel.
HAHAH! Bonus points for you!

You took the words out of my fingers. I am teared up and needing (not "wantnig," but NEEDING more!)

Kate YES! ALL OF THIS🤩
I want to know what skincare products Melania uses and what she eats. What perfume does she wear? It all says so much about a woman. She’s such a mystery! Very rare these days.
oh, trust me. Me too!
Omg Elena, YES. I second this!
I’m so sorry about the loss of your baby and your father. With each story on others, you always give up pieces of yourself. God bless you.
I sobbed reading this. What an inspiration. Is it possible that Hope and Humor are still alive. I’m riveted and waiting for more per usual with you.....
Anyone else looking at Real Estate in San Clemente and hoping they snag a spot in those driveway hang sessions? 🤣🤍 loving this series the most.
It was the best and worst of times lol
I’d be lying if I didn’t have the same idea😜
This read like a novel that I could not put down. Superb. ✨
What a great read! I’ll be over here non patiently waiting for Part 5. 🤣
Please write a book. I don’t care what it’s about but I will read every word. The way you write is intriguing to me.
One day! Perhaps.
lol! Perhaps for a Scorpio means maybe never. 🤣
