InsideKT

In life every instance counts. Every experience crafts us into the people we become and each memory made is a mark left on this walk we take. Recently I was fortunate enough to have a photoshoot at Fable Boudoir studios in Woodbridge, ON and I would like to take this oppourtunity to share that experience with you and why I feel it necessary that you plan your own visit.    As a strong, independent female I have always been loud, proud and a bit much for the timid at heart. I am forward enough for all the people who will never carry the backbone to speak up for themselves and I ensure that people know of my presence when I walk into a room. Commanding space is my forte and I absolutely love being in front of the camera. When I was graced with the ability to shoot a boudoir session at Fable Studios, I simply could not say no. The one and only time I shot boudoir before this instance was in my early 20s. It was a collaboration with a girlfriend I worked with and we shot in the ph...

Getting what you want isn’t always so easy. As a motivated human I often get asked how I come into the things I've often desired or how I am able to not worry about my life or the things my future will bring, regardless of where my life sits. "You're always so happy and not much seems to bother you" is an outside perspective and becoming successful at letting little bother me is a technique that was crafted through personal development and ensuring that I explored my own mind and beliefs. Please understand getting good at what was best for me might not be the answer for you, because nothing comes easy right? Wrong, I've just noticed that after years of these lessons reappearing, I thought it was to speak about them, how we struggle with it and why we should pay attention to implementing simple alterations for a happier life. The main points I've encountered as of late that help me the most are as follows and in no particular order utilized however you see fit....

Insane lows, I have them too. The parts of me that screams out within to be lazy, to cease doing the things that make me ME. I know for sure that for everything good there is a bad and that they got it right when they said ying AND yang. Immense highs? We all get those too no? That inner buzz that emanates from fingertips to toes. Usually best induced by natural highs, yet bringing awareness to all the artificial ones too. Do opposites attract? Sure maybe, but there's this never ending piece of me that fights to stay unmotivated. To stay low in this very weirdly framed world we're currently living in and it often make me wonder when the hell the high is gonna kick back in. The life living in freedom. The best part about it is we can chose to blame something, often much easier or we can seek to find the tools we already possess and remember how to kick their ass to the surface to be utlitized. **Insert blame on the pandemic here if you must**  I mean isn't that the easiest s...

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 ...
