InsideKT

To be wonderful, magnificent and ever-so-awesomely you is a lifestyle key that few of us have chosen to master. To sit still in yourself unbothered by the world is to observe your light within and to feel that tethered connection between you and whatever put us here. Taking care of oneself is a battle all its own and just to be human is work enough most days. Swatting away the obstacles that fly at us daily and truly being able to maintain happiness is a talent that needs more ample acknowledgement. It is to be confessed however, that there are a bunch of us just whistling by. Working at something and yet at nothing. Driving on the road with attention, yet the destination is set to auto pilot and your place of arrival is death. The motions of the everyday and the routine of 'being normal' is so ridiculously easy that it's difficult, as oxymora as that sounds. To be privileged enough to be born into a world where the water flows as free as purpose, value and opinion is to b...

So where to go from here? It’s been shown that the non-essential sticker has been laid and that pivoting is the only option. Where to then ol’ sport? I whisper as distant Leo Dicaprio smiles in my head all Gatsby-like. This is my inner thought process and it is one of a thousand per day. How can I take my life to the next level, move into my own spot and just own the hell out of life? Where does the wanting end and the living begin? I know countless of us battle these thoughts, even if we never admit it aloud. The endless options of what to do, who to be and where to go from here are almost as daunting to me now at 33 as they were at 18. That precious age filled with hormones and so much change, yet society would deem us fit to decide immense life altering options. I today sit without huge debt, assets or children so please apply this filter when I speak of it being daunting. The "thirtysomething curse", so to speak!! (Aka incredibly blessed, in my own right) I’m sure many o...

In light of the recent pandemic its become evident that we are all connected. That one small, unseen force can knock on each of our doors and has since up rooted normal life as we know it.  My life decided to 360. The everyday I knew halted and I was eyes wide open to the fact that relying on this semi-comfortable life I was leading, just wasn't going to cut it for lil ol' me. Everything I had worked for getting good at up to this point had now been deemed non-essential. Looking back over my life one of service, hospitality, events, hosting, management, you name it - the works! I realized I had always been standing knee deep in ok. In just doing what it took to get by and never really engaging in my worth. I had the skills and common sense of a highly trained individual and I had been working hard for my money instead of making my money work hard for me. I have since set out to commit to better career and personal goals because I always, always saw my service in the hospitality...

The amount of times I've hesitated and fought against myself are endless. This world it seems, up to this point has been an ever flowing stream of wasted time and lazy thought. Engaging in what is easy, what is stimulating, what is "fun". All the while working my tail off to make ends meet because I was never to be denied the title of hard worker.  Failing to see the damage that stripped away my soul. The dents chipping away my intelligence, vigor and energy. For every day that passed and I continued to fight my inner self, was just another time in the pile that I denied my true purpose. That inner battle that I let clip away at the endless light that shone within me. Working seemingly forever in the incredibly wrong direction. You. Me. Every single being that walks this Earth - has a direction. And we are ALL host to that little piece of light that shines within is.  Silently guiding our way. Whether we believe in it or not it's what flows through your veins, lights ...
