I’m thankful for all this year brought forth for

I’m thankful for all this year brought forth for me to see clearly and adjust appropriately. 🙏🏼 I’ve cocooned and written a bunch of new stuff while protecting my son to the best of my ability while he’s in my care.

Among all of the gifts 2020 has brought forth, a weekly distanced kickboxing trio class in my friends front yard has provided me with an energy elevation that I really needed. While I have daily rituals that keep me in balance, I have been dealing with some outside forces that have required me to be stronger than ever — mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. There’s just something about punching, kicking and dancing that’s helping me have a little extra something to feel ready for what is and what’s ahead.

May we all know what we truly need and love ourselves so much that we create space to experience the manifestation of those desires. Sending love and light, in gratitude. 💜✨

Following a conversation with Landon last night, I made this. He turns 14 today. This has nothing to do with his bday other than it’s a visual this mama lioness needed to see to be reminded of what has been, what is, and what’s at stake — for my loves and yours. 🙏🏼💜❤️🙏🏼😷 #youmatter

Thanks to a mindful coach I greatly appreciate, I

Thanks to a mindful coach I greatly appreciate, I get to sit on the sidelines and watch my son doing what he loves even as his basketball leagues have been off since March.

Landon started playing basketball in second grade when a group of his friends at school all signed up to play at a local league. One of the moms asked me if Landon wanted to join. When I asked him, he said sure. He wasn’t fully passionate about it at first but as time went on, basketball became the sport he chose for himself above all else.

While my days are full of responsibilities, it’s my role as Landon’s mom that is and always has been my top priority.

Like many parents, I’ve had seasons when I feel like I’m rocking at parenthood and others when I’ve been challenged in interesting growth-opportunity ways.

The other day I heard one of Landon’s teachers talking to the students about all of the things parents are handling right now and it touched me. I emailed her to express appreciation for what she said and also for what she’s doing for my son, which apparently touched her.

It got me thinking...

Expressing appreciation takes a moment but it can positively ripple goodness for unlimited amounts of time. I’d imagine a lot of parents at this stage of 2020 — who have risen to the challenges we’ve faced to protect our children while doing our best to keep them engaged while maintaining life’s responsibilities — could use a dose of “I see you and I appreciate you” today, or any day. Pass it on. Expressed appreciation has the power to touch someone in immeasurable ways. 💜❤️🙏🏼

A message of love for all passionate, free thinking moms. Keep on. 💜❤️

I met @mariannewilliamson in 2011 when she was speaking in San Diego. I had read all of her work and savored her “A Return to Love” book. I’ve come a long way on my self-love journey. That version of me then is unrecognizable to me now. Gratitude for growth. Perhaps you resonate. 💜🙏🏼✨ #motherhood #acourseinmiracles #mariannewilliamson

The new issue of @guitargirlmag is out now! I wrote an article about Covid’s impact, adapting to changes, and the power of positive affirmations. If you feel inclined to read it, it’s linked in my bio above. 🙏🏼 🎸💜✨✨🎵

I’m speaking. 💜 I know many of us have an #imspeaking style story in the archives of our life history. I have quite a few. One of mine is shared on my blog, linked above.

For every woman who has actually done the work to

For every woman who has actually done the work to earn her spot and has persevered to fulfill the qualifications for opportunities at hand, we must dissent to this choice of a woman who’s not qualified to lead the highest court of our land. She alone sets equality back decades because if we want things to be equal and fair, we must actually earn our right to sit in the chair. #idissent

It’s a path only you can take, a choice only you

It’s a path only you can take, a choice only you can make, a legacy only you can create. But if you don’t take it, make it, or create it, you’ll never know. And that is what people regret... never knowing what could have been.

Sometimes what feels secure is actually a cage of confinement, and sometimes what feels scary is actually a passageway of enlightenment. ✨✨💜✨✨

Oh yo! What a wonderful day of writing, kickboxing

Oh yo! What a wonderful day of writing, kickboxing, walking, and connecting. Feeling free just being, and doing what I love to do.💜🦋🗝🙏🏼

This was one year ago today at the 2019 Women in L

This was one year ago today at the 2019 Women in Leadership Awards. I received the award in 2018 and it felt amazing to be present supporting so many remarkable women blazing trails — including three of my visionary friends, Julie (pictured here), Gaby and Elana (scroll).

Julie was honored with an award this day and I couldn’t have felt more proud of her as I know her daring and resilient journey. I will never forget the day we were both at the gym for a kickboxing class over 11 years ago when she asked me for advice about starting her company — which recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary with achieving major milestones.

With #RBG passing, it’s become so apparent how each and every independent opportunity I’ve been able to choose for myself, and other women for themselves, has been an OPTION because of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s resilience and focus on achieving change-making results. She provided us with abundant possibilities. What a legacy of a classy human of high integrity!

The achievements of women have often been left out of history’s storytelling mainly because women in our history weren’t able to be in positions of writing, publishing, owning or leading the pathway for story sharing. Yet over the years, more and more women have been leading the charge, and inspiring other women to do the same. The portrayal of our human experience is broadening because Divine Feminine energy is refusing to remain in the shadows. Unveiled, we’re reawakening collectively and it’s women like RBG who have illuminated the pathway for us to have options and expansion. Onward we go, together. Light it up. 👑💜✨ @jules31_ @gabydow

I said “yes” to #Jazzercise for my first time

I said “yes” to #Jazzercise for my first time and had a blast with these two workout dynamos. Not so ironic, the class took place on a ball field which is the setting we met decades ago playing Navajo Softball together — the same year I got my @kathrynthegrape nickname from Coach Pierozzi. And yes, Brooke (left) and Amy (center) are characters in my book series as “Brookie Bee” 🐝 🏊‍♀️ and “Aim the Flame” 🔥 ⚾️ and their children are in my “Kathryn the Grape’s Piece of Love” book. The bond of so many sister/friendships started through sports. 💜💜💜 @brookiecookie619

Landon asked me to get some textbooks from school

Landon asked me to get some textbooks from school so he doesn’t have to read on his computer so much. I emailed school last night and the librarian called me back first thing this morning. I walked the empty halls to the school library and saw this equation outside the library. How appropriate, for all ages.

We’re all students of life if we’re willing to continue learning. The lessons never stop for seeking souls willing to ask questions and being fully open to answers that differ from our current scope of awareness and perceptions.

Yes, sometimes answers are more certain than others. Math and science are often this way. But history and language arts aren’t. There’s fluidity in humanities — in the human experience. We disagree because we’re all not experiencing life from the same vantage point. We can only discover new levels of awareness when we’re willing to admit we don’t know all we don’t know.

May we learn our own lesson.
May we love from the inside out.
May we lead with humility.
May we be a living legacy of honor.

Or not... the choice is ours and ours alone.

Learn. Love. Lead. Legacy.
