Seasons of transition
About 18 months ago I started one of many attempts at a blog - one that actually lasted more than a few posts because I was writing to update my friends and family about a major double jaw surgery that I was undergoing. As I started to heal, I stopped writing quite so much. However, I have recently come to miss it and felt inspired to share some reflections to more of an audience than just my private journal.
This website and blog were started in an attempt to be the author of my own story and to be able to communicate that story to the world clearly as a yoga teacher, inspiring entrepreneur and human. After years of following the paths I felt I "should," I have recently taken some scary big steps off the path and have been exploring the many directions in which I want to grow. Many of my goals involve creating things for myself - art, community, and businesses. Therefore, I wanted to develop a more cohesive and authentic representation of my self in order to build creative confidence and share my voice with the world.
So here I am. Kaitlin. Recently turned 27. Currently working as a yoga teacher and server at a fine dining restaurant. Attempting to apply to business school for social entrepreneurship to learn the business skills to make my dreams a reality. The only real hurdles are my own fear and my stubbornness to study for and thus justify standardized testing. I have only recently started putting myself first in my own life. Every day I am trying to allow my own voice to become the loudest one in my head so I can live a life true to my self. Sometimes I feel a bit like an awkward teenager going through a second puberty/rebellion/self-revolution. Amidst all this upheaval, I am the most lucky human surrounded by a net of the most thoughtful and loving people.
If you like the sound of my written "voice" and would like to keep reading - look out for more posts coming soon. Future topics will likely include reflections on lessons learned working in a restaurant, teaching yoga, throwing clay, dating, traveling and all the other moments of discovery in life.
