"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." 🌸 ~ dr. seuss today i am still learning to be me, no matter what the circumstance or who may find myself with. it's an ongoing process and my desire to fit in and be liked sometimes will still win over being true to myself. i am learning though, and i have made great progress since my days where i worked in a business that values your looks over what your heart and soul have to say. having been a model for many years, i know the pain of trying to look perfect. i have become very close friends with the shadow side of my ego, constantly second guessing what i had to offer, if i was good enough, if i was pretty enough, thin enough or even bubbly and charismatic enough for the job. although modeling is a thing of the past for me, it has been a great teacher to me and has challenged me to grow out of this small-minded thinking into a more expanded version of myself. after years of self-exploration and curiousity about who i truly am and what i came to this earth to do, i now have a foundation to refer to when i feel i am on shaky ground. today i am a woman, a mother, a wife, a daughter and a friend. i am a writer. I hold the books i love most to my chest and open them to randomly for doses of inspiration that are utterly perfect for that moment. i am a healer who works with the alchemy of plant food as medicine. i am a lover of mother earth and all that she has to offer. i feel the oneness of the entire web of life-from rocks to flowers to cows to God-deep down into my bones...that is, as long as i don't forget to step back and remember from where i came. today i am so very me. i am kate. who are you?
