Be Still….

Sabbath…. What does that mean to you? Does it indicate REST? DO you need some REST? My challenge to you today is to get STILL before the almighty. To STOP talking, STOP doing and just BE STILL… Spend some time listening to HIM. What might he have to whisper in your ear today? CROWD out the noise and be so STILL that the only thing you can really hear is your heartbeat.

In yoga class there are opportunities to do just that. ITs WHERE we sit and focus on the stillness first in the room and then within ourselves. Your breath is the only sound there is.

Ocean breath is a deep breath that comes from the belly and releases through an open mouth and mimics the sound of the ocean. WHEN we do this in class not only do I hear the “HA” sound loudly but I hear the release of tension and anxiety and the room becomes filled with HIM. IT truly sounds like a WAVE rushing in and out. A wave that Rescues….

There is that moment between the release of ocean breath and the next breath, (it is seconds) thats like a fresh start, an opportunity to press in to HIM alittle harder, aittle closer, alittle deeper. #yogafaith

Be Your Happiest, Healthiest, Most Authentic You!

So you know, I'm Kathy with a K. Little childhood story hidden in that. My life has been filled with lots of adventures. Through it all I have experienced disappointments, a battle with depression, the reality of losing my Husband of 20 years, YET finding HOPE in the midst of it all. I love to cook, listen to loud music, laugh a lot, I crazy dance, love the smell of paper whites and I love to tell stories.

I am a wellness advocate #certifiedhealthcoach, Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Yoga instructor RYT-200 #yogafaith as well as a Trauma Sensitive Yoga Instructor. I am a Certified Christian Life Coach and a Graduate of The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in Women's Ministry. I use these tools to help others be the best they can be.

I get up everyday with excitement for the mission at hand. I believe that through prayer, conversation, and inner healing work we can all find true peace and HOPE. God is ABLE. He has walked me through so many things in life. Things I wasn’t sure I’d survive.

You will find stories of love, loss, faith and hope all woven throughout this blog. I hope you will take a seat, stay awhile and join me on this Journey.

The HayMaker….

OUTWARD transformation is good but the transformation on the inside is Amazing. Your Mindset… everything depends on it. Something has to GO so that something NEW can come. Your heart is just waiting to be WOKEN up from that state that keeps you where you are. Maybe it’s time for HARVEST. CUT the hay, Plant […]

JUMP IN …

JUMP IN….. A friend of mine posted this picture yesterday and it brought so many thoughts to my mind. I saw the statement first as BEING BOLD. “BE WHO YOU ARE…” THEN almost immediately I ask myself… “do I know who I am?” I’ve questioned that off and on many times through the trials in […]

WILTED…

TO me there is nothing more beautiful than SUNFLOWERS. They just have a way of brightening up your day. These were given to me recently by a dear friend. I placed them in a spot where I would see them first thing every morning. They lasted longer than normal and truth is they just seemed […]

Back in the Saddle…

There are many things in life that can cause fear. Some that will literally keep you from doing things and going places, etc. As a child my grandfather and I would load up on his horses and go for a ride. Truth is it was my favorite thing to do with “pappa”. He would give […]
