I wish I had sought therapy, specifically bereavement counselling, earlier on

Keywords: Bereavement , Opinion , Death and dying , Family , Mental health , Health

It suddenly dawned on me that my family did not waste a single minute of their lives; they lived and loved fiercely every single day. I needed to do the same. I went back to my studies at university, curbed my vices and started to live rather than just exist. After all, this is what my family would have wanted for me.

I want to feel and treasure every loved one’s hugs; feel my son’s and daughter’s (and someday my grandsons’) strong hands steady me when I get older; hear everything they want to share with me; see them look at me the way I look at them all: with absolute love and the knowledge that I will always be there for them and they will always be there for me

My life got a new start 10 years ago. I didn’t just turn over a new page of my life I started a whole new book! One thing I learned is a new appreciation for my life and the help I have had from God, my Guardian Angels, my family and friends. My self image changed from being a victim who didn’t trust herself to being a confident, independent, giving and wise woman.

This was my time in our country ; now is what I’ve waited for … more than 35 years . His work is impressive . He focused on not only his writing , elevated Slovak literature ; he also pushed to make Slovkia a stand-alone political entity . My man !

You can do whatever you want and there are no rules

Keywords: Turned 16

You need to know yourself in order to love yourself. I don’t need people to understand me and tell me who I am because I know who I am. I wouldn’t bother trying to understand me, things would just get complicated.

I wanted to raise my kids knowing the value of money

Keywords: That’s life

it was a surprise when I left school, became a model, and started making money. I got married young and my husband, the polo pro, earned enough money for us to pay rent and pay our travel expenses (would you believe the polo patrons make their pros pay their travel expenses and rent!)

I knew if I wanted to really grow into the person I was always meant to be, then I needed wide open spaces and new faces; room to make big mistakes

I’m happy to have re-joined the WordPress community. You may also be wondering why I started a new page instead of picking up Diary of a Daydreamer again. The truth is, I logged in there earlier today with the intention of doing just that. However, after the amount of time that’s gone by and all the changes I’ve experienced in my life the last 3 years, the idea to start fresh just felt right.

Unlike […] younger equivalents of a shackled Katherine, adult me could continue to push for what I wanted

In part, this blogpost is some sort of catharsis; a justification to myself that it’s okay I didn’t move to Berlin in 2020, regardless of how many people I told about my plan or how much I wanted it. But moreso, it’s a championing of letting life do its thing. An oddly fitting side note to the Berlin saga is that I went to four broken photo booths in one day before finally finding one where I could get new passport pictures. The lord works in mysterious ways. When the tech company I was working for ran out of money and fired 300+ people at the start of April, I was on the cusp of a promotion (the latest juicy carrot I’d created for my donkeylike self to trod towards), so it was a pretty rubbish letdown. But, no pickaxes this time. I choose to be of the mindset that it wasn’t meant to be.

My children were young, and I wanted to be around when they grow up

Keywords: awareness , blogging , health , inspiration , life , daily writing , effective blogging , healthy-living , running , value of blogging

Invariably during my runs, especially on those long and tedious runs, I discover inspirations from my adrenaline pumped body, environment, or running partners. These inspirations are what I called my Buddha moments. I suppose I could have called them the Eureka moments. But since most of these inspirations are of a spiritual nature, the Buddha won.

I always knew I wanted to start a family, but as someone who prioritises daily activity, I was worried about how I might continue to maintain my endorphin hungry lifestyle – both during pregnancy, and in my new life afterwards

I did need to keep a check on my training volume whilst the little one grew inside me – and following her arrival, my daily fitness dose has been much more “what’s possible” as opposed to “what’s optimal”. And that’s fine.
