Hi, I'm Kat.
The way you tend to yourself through journaling, personal style, and artistic expression infuses your life with aliveness and allows you to stay as close to your inner guidance system as possible.
With so much vying for your attention these days, there are three easeful ways to maintain your center: daily writing, authentic style, and creative expression. All that I offer is intended to guide you closer to you.
A vibrant life is a life infused with wonder, creativity, and expression

No one ever tells you that you are going to be a thousand different people in one lifetime.
We're fed the linear version, the industrial version where we imitate machines and march forward through adolescence, education, courtship, marriage, child-rearing, midlife, retirement, and... you know. Well, nothing really works out that way and I think that's the beauty of our time here. I tried hard for a long time to fit myself into the fairytale. I thought for a long time that I was doing something wrong by fumbling, changing my mind, walking away, starting and stopping. Then I realized that I'm much happier in the 'wild'.
Now that i'm squarely outside the box
(pun intended)...
I'm learning that most people are in one way or another. My study and fascination with stories and storytelling has led me to meet lawyers who front screamer bands on the weekends, mothers of three who run multinational companies, artists who compete in ultramarathons in Ireland, grandmothers who date multiple men at once in their retirement homes, and judges who are also well-known drummers.
The TL;DR version
Different roles/careers I've had in my 37 years on earth.
The year I lost my beloved mother, Claudia. The first time I've truly had a BC/AD experience.
How old I was when I (unknowingly) started listening to my intuition and letting it lead me to lunacy and liberation.
My point is:
life is wild and wonderful and so are we.
Four things I wish someone had told me about being an artist in life and work...
No one will make time for you to make art. You must.
Committing to a creative life asks you to be sturdy in your vision and boundaries. You won't be handed the time, you must take it for yourself unapologetically
The world needs artists. It can be easy to feel like what you create is not valued in this capitalistic, hyper-masculine world. However, the reason people work so hard is so that they can enjoy art (music, cuisine, writing, theater, fashion, fine art, dance) on their 'time off'
You rarely need to try to be a better artist. It's more likely that you need to make peace with your inner critic instead.
Of course it's worthwhile to continue to study and practice your craft. But more often than not, the voice telling you it's not good enough is an inner, misguided attempt to keep you safe
The time you spend making art is time you will get back tenfold in joy, purpose, alignment, and wonder.
Honoring the creative calling that lives inside of you will have a ripple effect on every other aspect of your life. Things will become interesting and technicolor, you'll be more present, you'll be more resilient

“A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner—continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you—is a fine art, in and of itself. "
- Elizabeth Gilbert
