New Blog Post: Blocking My Way

Dear Friends,

A while ago while I was meandering in the woods I came to a fork in the road. I could continue on the paved trail I was on, or I could walk down what was clearly the old trail.

Pavement is not my favorite surface to walk on, so I opted to head down the latter path, hoping to have a little less pavement in my life. Little did I know, although had I taken a second to think about it I might have figured, the old trail was full of broken pavement and potholes and was not the greatest to walk on…surprise, surprise.

As I continued on, I came across a couple of downed trees crossing my path. I scrambled over them and thought about how there was no need for the rangers to clear said trees, because this particular path was no longer in use and had no need to be cleared.

There are times, in all of our lives, where it's hard to discern when it’s time to continue down a path, and when it is time to walk away from something that is no longer serving us.

My dear friend, I hope you are able to trust your own discernment even in the hard.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Keeping Up

Dear Friends,

That walk that I talked about last week, it was on one of those hot and sweaty days. As such, it was, for sure, a slow meander through the woods…taking my time, walking my walk, enjoying practically seeing the leaves get fuller on the trees around me.

I was thinking, as I walked, about how much I love walking my own walk, going at my own pace, stopping, looking, noticing without being in a hurry, without anyone else dictating how fast or slow I need to go.

Several years ago I realized I had been walking at other folks' pace for years, trying to keep up with people who were naturally faster than me and I didn’t want to do that anymore. I no longer wanted to run after people who were naturally faster than me…so largely I stopped.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there are times when we have no choice but to keep up with others, there are times when keeping up helps encourage us to push ourselves further and do better than we might on our own, but there are also plenty of times when we can and should choose to walk our own walk, even if it’s a different pace then those around us.

My dear friend, I hope you can walk your own walk this week, knowing with confidence that your walk is your own beautiful journey.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Take Time

Dear Friends,

I had a little space in my schedule last week, so I got to take an unexpected wander through the woods in-between clients.

As I wandered I was recognizing that I simply haven’t been wandering through the woods as much lately. My life has been busier, I have had less spaciousness, I haven’t been making the time in my week to wander.

But those slow meanders are really good for my mind, my body, and my nervous system. They’re a super important reset in my week. As I walked I was recognizing that I need to prioritize being out in nature, on trails, in the woods a little more.

Life gets busy, and unfortunately none of us have time for all the self-care we might want for ourselves…but I think noticing those details that make a sizable difference in our lives, whatever that may be for you, and prioritizing those areas, taking time for those areas as we move through our weeks can make a real difference in our minds, our bodies, our nervous systems and our lives.

I hope you have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Void of Life

Dear Friends,

I talked last week about my drive through the park and how one day all the trees were void of life, and the next, on that same drive, there were bits of bright green all around me.

But they weren’t, those trees. They weren’t void of life. They might have looked that way, they might have presented as void of life…but under the surface life was moving and churning. That life might have been waiting to burst forth, but that doesn’t mean life wasn’t there, under the surface the whole time.

Sure, it might look different on the outside, and throughout the colder months that life might be slower, but even in that slower state, that life is still there…moving, changing, growing.

Sometimes we think we’re in a stagnant place, we feel like our growth has slowed to a halt. And perhaps we aren’t moving or growing as much as we are at other times in our lives, but that doesn’t mean life isn’t there, moving, changing, growing.

My dear friend, I hope you can celebrate your journey exactly where you are right now, whether that is full of life and change, or perhaps moving at a little slower pace.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Instant Changes

Dear Friends,

While I was driving through the park last week, I noticed, while spring was springing all around, and blossoms were blossoming, yet, all the trees in the park were still bare and void of life. The very next day, as I drove that same road through the park, there were little dots of green all around me. One of my clients last week aptly referred to the trees at this stage as like an impressionist painting…life was springing up throughout the park in this beautiful moment of instant change.

How are you feeling, my friend? I don’t know about you, but this past week the political climate we have been living through has been rough on my nervous system. I noticed a distinct feeling of exhaustion earlier this week and realized I had been holding a lot of tension, a lot of nervousness, a lot of…a lot.

And there’s not a whole lot I can do about it, other than limit my consumption of the news. But I can anchor back to the good, the beauty, the life springing up around me in that moment of instant change. I can find other ways in my life to anchor back, ways that allow me to feel a semblance of control in one area even if I can’t feel that control in others.

My dear friend, sometimes there’s no help to be had for the exhaustion and nervousness, but I do think if we’re willing to take some time to anchor back to the good, the beauty and the life around us we can find a little deeper breath and a little more relief.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Forgot

Dear Friends,

As I was driving to see a client at 7:40 this morning, I suddenly realized I didn’t write or set up an email to send out this week…I completely forgot, it totally slipped my mind until this morning when it was too late to schedule and send out at 8am when I normally send it.

I chuckled about forgetting because, well, sometimes we just forget, right?

But, as I drove, admiring the various redbuds and (my favorite) puffball cherry trees in bloom on my way, I also realized that I had recently changed my schedule, and the time that I used to have set aside for my weekly email was no longer available to me.

So, after 5 ½ years of writing an email to you all faithfully every week, I changed one thing about my week and completely forgot…because I hadn’t set any time aside to write said email.

I didn’t judge myself for forgetting an email, that’s life sometimes…we can’t do everything right all the time. But also, I did recognize that I, once more, need to set aside time in my week for a task that I value, that I want to accomplish…because without that time set to the side clearly that task is easy to forget.

My dear friend, I hope we all can be a little more gentle with ourselves when we inevitably fail or forget a task at hand…because we all do and will. And yet, I also hope we can look at our own lives and figure out ways we can help ourselves accomplish those things we want to accomplish with a little more ease.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Transform

Dear Friends,

Last Sunday happened to be a beautiful spring day around here…it also happened to be a day full of getting things done around my house, and checking things off the to-do list that had been on said list for way too long. Perhaps not the best use of beautiful spring weather, but important nonetheless. I was in and out of the house all day fulfilling my to-do list.

The day prior, my niece and I had been looking at the weeping cherry tree in my next-door neighbors yard. It happens to be one of my favorite trees, it is just so beautiful. We were looking at the buds that were tightly closed and talking about how pretty it is when they open…I went to bed that night with the blossoms still tightly wrapped up and tucked away in their little cocoons.

That next day, however, as I was in and out of the house, it was amazing to see this tree completely transform from morning to evening in one day. It went from nary a bud opened, to practically full bloom that Sunday. I could see the transformation happening in front of me as I went about my work.

Sometimes transformation is a long, arduous process…but sometimes transformation happens in an instant…both roads have their challenges, their lessons and their beauty.

My dear friend, I hope, during this season of transformation in the world around us, we can see and notice the beauty around us even when life has its inevitable challenges.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Ways to Modify

Dear Friends,

My son was home on Spring Break last week. One evening during that time we were at the climbing gym, and I, like a bit of a dummy I am, decided to show off and lift heavier weights than I should have. Nothing like showing off to your 21 year old son to really put you in your place…and so it’s been a week of stretching, and icing, and rolling and elevating and resting a place I re-injured just to show off to my son.

But he was impressed. Mission accomplished. Worth it.

As we age and change our bodies just don’t work the way they once did, right? Perhaps you’ve noticed it in your own body. Maybe you’ve lost movement that once felt easy and fluid. Perhaps your injury is taking longer to heal than it used to. Maybe areas in your body feel a little more burdensome, a little more catchy. Perhaps movement feels less easy and second-nature.

It’s real, and natural, and part of life and, as much as we don’t want to hear it, part of the aging process...and also so incredibly frustrating, this change in our physical experience as we move through life.

This week I was working with a student to brainstorm ways we could modify movement so that those movements that feel inaccessible can become more accessible. Because, my friends, even when those inevitable changes occur it is still so very important in our bodies and our minds to keep moving, to keep our strength and mobility, to find ways to modify so we can both keep that integrity in our bodies, feel strong in our bodies, and find the fun and the joy when moving through life.

My dear friend, I hope this week you are able to find a little more fun and joy as you move through this life…and hopefully you don’t feel a need to show off to any 21 year olds.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Keep Noticing

Dear Friends,

This past weekend I had the privilege of taking a wonderful group of folks to the lovely Lake Anna in Virginia for a weekend retreat. It was my first time going to this little lake less than two hours from the DC area, and it was delightful.

Because the weather was going to be beautiful and warm on Saturday, at the last second I arranged for a group of us to have a three hour sunset pontoon ride on the lake.

It was a lovely trip exploring the lake with amazing company. Our captain was fabulous. We had some snacks and wine, some good connection time and an all-around relaxing trip…and at the end of our time we experienced a spectacular sunset to round out our trip on the water.

Turns out, however, three hours on a pontoon boat without a bathroom...add in some wine...is about an hour too many. By the end of our trip I was absolutely dying. So while I enjoyed the beautiful sunset, there was an amount of enjoyment that was totally overpowered by a need to p*e with nowhere to escape to.

Spoiler alert, I made it back in one piece…phew…but not without telling our captain that yes, it was time to go to shore because our three hours were about to be up even though the sun hadn’t fully set.

These past few weeks have been hard, scary, exhausting…right? I was thinking about that sunset, and how I couldn’t fully enjoy it because of extenuating circumstances, and I think that’s our life all the time right now…it’s hard to decouple ourselves from the hard, scary and exhausting things that are going on in our world.

I don’t have any answers to give other than to keep showing up, keep being a light in this world, keep being good to those around you…and perhaps keep noticing those beautiful sunsets…even if you might be a little distracted.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love

Krista
