notes on mastering the art of transcendence and refinement with Coached By Kate
How to create the space to grow and move at a pace in life that suits you. If you are feeling pulled towards slowing down, embrace the season! Winer is for hibernation. Aligning ourselves with the natural rhythms of the earth has scientific backing to be very therapeutic.
I am a very passionate person. A force some would say. I am loud and all smiles and have deep convictions. My mother would say I am a zealot and my father would say he raised me to be strong. Intense is another word. This means I have an extreme work ethic and High morals. [...]
Americans statically take less vacation than our European counterparts and yet are not more active. But thats not what I'm talking about here.. What are the routines that anyone no matter how much yoga or $$ you have will burn you out and cause relationship sabotage? On the flip side of a chaotic routine you have the mundane. The automatic and even boring. This is where you fall asleep at the wheel of life, and dare I say, the spark of passion dies. Think Covid-19. with zero shifts of routine, schedule or even scenery for months on end. People were going psychologically nuts from it. there is data to prove it. so what do you do?
My son's favorite super hero is The Flash. Everything faster is better in his mind. He runs whenever he can.

I came home from a work trip to find hand picked flowers and colored pictures of little tiny fashion dolls with hearts and flowers on it. Giant yellow suns with slashes of yellow streaming out of the paper. Inside each (yes - there was more than one) 8×11 folded paper were notes of love and [...]

Fall 2019 I have a head cold. I'll be honest I'm happy about it. I can cancel on obligations and stay home from church. I can let me husband take charge without feeling like I am leaving him to do all the heavy lifting. I can exhale. No guilt involved. I can stay in my [...]
Summer life brings a freshness to it that makes my soul sing! But alas all good things must come to an end. School is back and football has started. Food shifts are one of the first things that start to show me that another season is approaching and another is ending. With the heat [...]
When's the last time you truly got away... and I don't just mean heading out for a weekend trip (although those quick getaways are sometimes just what the doctor ordered)... I'm talking about phone silence, email abstinence, abstaining from chores, relishing in late breakfasts over mimosas, long quiet walks, getting lost in a good book, [...]
We are very neat people, both of us, and because of that we could be tidying and doing projects every second of every day. Failing miserably at connecting relationally we would be organized and task driven but then what is the point of that? I mean really? What is the point? The fact that my counters [...]
