Katie to Kate

I love pondering the transformation of the butterfly.  The caterpiller dissolves and a butterfly is born of its remains.  A yoga teacher of mine said during class once "In order to become someone new you have to be willing to give up who you have been".  Woah.  Feel the depth of that?  To become a fuller, more happy, healthy, free version of myself, I have to be willing to give up who I was before.

As many of you have noticed and so graciously adapted is that I've decided to start being called Kate more often now then Katie.  Katie feels younger, innocent, dependent on others, tended to blend in, put the needs of others in front of her own...   Kate is more bold, has traveled more, is more independent, can stand for her truth, feels the divine within... I could go on...

I went through a period of feeling an uncomfortable duality within.  Teetering back and forth between Katie and Kate.  A freaky feeling.  Fear of change!  oh no! I fear change just like everyone else!  crap. 

In the past I was trapped within myself.  Covered by veils of insecurities, self-doubt, worry, fear (more details at a later date of the AMAZING healings I've experienced over the last couple years, thank you teachers near and far).  Through my healing journey I reclaim parts of my soul that were misplaced during traumatic times, in this lifetime and past.  The more whole I am in myself the healthier I am.

love and light.
