Retreats

I had the honor of speaking at FRAMEWORK 2016- A Women’s conference hosted by Christ United Methodist Church and held at Timber Creek Campground.  It was the bomb.com  Not because of my speaking, but because there was such a sweet group of ladies who came together to share pieces of their lives for the Glory of God. I held a Yoga Faith class that Saturday morning as well. What fun that was. No better way to start your day. In April of 2019 I put on a Christian Skit for the Mississippi Church of God conference. This was a blast. I got to dress up in panty hose, wear a wig and acted crazy.  Some say I’m perfectly suited for that. haha  I say Laughter is good for the soul.

I have a friend who’s skin crawls when you mention the words “Women Retreat”.  She thinks that we get together, hold hand and sit in a circle, cry and sing songs. She has made me laugh many times expressing her feeling about this to me.(ha) She even says something like, “I’d rather have an enema”.  So……. if you are wondering what we really do at a women’s retreat let me see if I can clear it up for you.  This is where we bring a group of women together for a creative, fun-loving, spirit filled weekend. This is an event to equip, encourage and lead women into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Its also a time for women to just “take a break” from the hustle and bustle of their lives.  We should all be able to say “I am made by God, redeemed by Christ and gifted for service.”

At the age of 15 I felt GOD calling me to be a missionary. I actually walked the aisle of my local church and made that profession. I spent many years of my life trying to understand that call. Truth is we are all missionaries in our own right. Isn’t that what we have all been called to do. Each and every one of us.  All the loss of loved ones in my life has made that call  become clearer and clearer to me. Soon after the death of my husband I found myself ministering to other woman who had lost their husbands. This has not been something I would have ever wanted to do but i’m learning that a call is something that God ordains and you just show up and be available for. What a joy it is to sow into the lives of women who are broken for a season.

I’ve had a lot of fun through the years sharing  stories about my messed up life and what God has done to heal me from so many things.

Topics that I’ve spoken on before are:

Seasons of a woman’s life,

Good Girls, Bad Choices ( you are who God says you are),

What kind of old woman will you meet? (take a journey through life),

Who Broke the Baby? (post abortion recovery),

Why Weight? Fitness & Nutrition,

Your Knight in Shining Armor!! ( get it right the first time)

Heavenly Chef (Cookin’ It up with God)…

Soaring to New Heights – I don’t have a husband( story of loss and finding hope)

OR …. We can create a topic special for your event.

I would love the opportunity to come and share at your next event and of course the invitation is always open for you to join in any RETREAT  I may plan in the future. Keep in touch for updates.

Be Your Happiest, Healthiest, Most Authentic You!

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 […]
