Gratitude to my tribe

By katharinel | Mar 22, 2018 | Comments Off on Gratitude to my tribe

I’m becoming acutely aware of a pattern. It shows up in all areas of my life. It’s driven by certain fear based beliefs… I’m too intense. I’m too serious. I want too much. I feel too much. I think too much. I’m too much. Yes… I have a self-limiting belief that I’m too much… For most…

Living On Purpose

By katharinel | Mar 12, 2018 | Comments Off on Living On Purpose

I thought it was about a podcast. That was the initial idea I had. I wanted to create a podcast where I interviewed people who appeared to be living their own version of success AND using their own internal compass (values, intuition, purpose, etc.) to help guide them. I love interviewing people and learning what…

How Do You Be?

By katharinel | Mar 7, 2018 | Comments Off on How Do You Be?

STOP! This was the message I received last Friday afternoon. After weeks of what felt like nonstop activity, this was the message I received. It was loud and clear. Stop all the DOING and just BE. I seemed to be wired for activity. DOING seems to be my default. It takes effort to shift my…

Learning how to trust… thru falling

By katharinel | Mar 1, 2018 | Comments Off on Learning how to trust… thru falling

Indoor rock climbing is teaching me a lot. I’m learning how to work with fear. My fear of heights is slowly diminishing. I’m learning how to trust… thru falling. Falling off the climbing wall is teaching me to trust my equipment and belayer. Without the experience of falling… I don’t REALLY KNOW that I will…

Manifesting my deepest desires

By katharinel | Feb 21, 2018 | Comments Off on Manifesting my deepest desires

I’ve become really interested in the law of attraction. It fascinates me. I didn’t even know what it was until about a year and a half ago. I had heard of the concept, but didn’t really give it much thought. It wasn’t until I started experiencing it in my life, that I became curious. The…

A day I will always remember

By katharinel | Feb 14, 2018 | Comments Off on A day I will always remember

February 15, 2004. A day I think I will always remember. I hit rock bottom. Yes… I think it’s fair to say that Valentine’s Day that year wasn’t the greatest?. I’d spent the previous week locked up in an apartment trying to drink myself to death. Valentine’s Day was the last thing on my mind.…

Facing my fear

By katharinel | Feb 8, 2018 | Comments Off on Facing my fear

I started indoor rock climbing last week. AND… I’m afraid of heights. It’s an interesting combination. I’m getting a lot of practice working with fear. AND… I’m learning a lot. About my mind and my relationship to fear. I’m becoming acutely aware of how much my mind limits me. It tells me I’m not safe.…

Birthing

By katharinel | Jan 31, 2018 | Comments Off on Birthing

It feels like I’m giving birth to something. No… I’m not pregnant (nor have I ever been)… but, I imagine it would feel somewhat this way. Something is growing inside of me. What started out as something small is becoming larger every day. It’s stretching me in ways that are quite uncomfortable. It appears to…

What if this was easy?

By katharinel | Jan 25, 2018 | Comments Off on What if this was easy?

Last week was a struggle… Tired. Depleted. Overly sensitive. Frustrated. Disconnected. It felt as though I had been cut off from my power source. I couldn’t seem to get energized. Everything felt hard. I couldn’t think. It felt as though the air had been sucked out of me and I couldn’t breathe. My mind was…

Taking off my makeup

By katharinel | Jan 18, 2018 | Comments Off on Taking off my makeup

This is me… My face at least?. Without any makeup, OR… dye in my hair (most of it has grown out), fancy lighting, editing, or filters. I snapped this picture this week from my home office using the camera on my iPhone. This is what I look like most days. A year and a half…
