With the help of an amazing IT guy, Ryan Meinzer, I am proud to announce the relaunch of my website.  Actually, it’s  just the shopping cart area of my site.  BUT — I do hope you’ll check it out (and Ryan…he’s fast, efficient, easy to understand (he is an IT guy afterall), and can totally hook you up if you need any help in this department.  And, he writes a really good blog too!)

Getting back to me…haha  As you can tell by the name of my company, Self Symmetry, I’m all about finding balance.  I believe that when you find balance; physically, mentally, and spiritually, that you are completely and wholly healthy!  I’m also all about feeling good.   If we can get ourselves feeling good all the time, then our lives will be free flowing and easy.  (I’m not saying that we shouldn’t experience any other emotion, but just that our dominate state should be good and positive.)

With my strong belief in finding balance and feeling good I teach yoga, make jewelry, and now this blog.  If you’re in Dallas/Plano, I would love to have you come take a class of mine.  See my schedule for details.  If you’re not in Dallas, then just go check out a class in your ‘hood.  It’s really amazing, transforming, and healing.

If you’re interested in jewelry, browse around my new shopping cart.  I hand make everything and use semi precious gemstones.  Gemstones have healing properties to them.  They are from the earth, so they hold all kinds of positive energy…making you look good and feel good!  I attach a card to each piece of jewelry describing the stones used and what they do for you energetically.  Because of this, they make awesome, thoughtful gifts (Mother’s Day coming up…hint, hint).  However, if you don’t wear much jewelry, check out BE Charmed!  Who can’t use some extra positive energy?  Side note:  Guys…I don’t have any man jewelry on my site, but I can make you something.  I’ve made several pieces for guys so just email me and we’ll come up with something really manly!

If you’re reading this, then you found my blog.  Congrats!  I would say this blog is on the spiritual side.  It’s about my attempt to live life to the fullest, and all the things that I’ve learned and am still learning.

So there you have it…my shameless self promotion.  I hope you leave my yoga class (or any yoga class) feeling good.  I hope you feel good wearing my jewelry (I know you’ll look good!), and I hope reading my blog leaves you feeling inspired, hopeful, and optimistic!

And Ryan, you rock!  I can’t thank you enough!

Balanced and feeling good – Love, Kat

Curiosity led us on a treasure hunt so I could sample some and know what I was in store for. After wondering the store for an additional 15 minutes looking in all the logical placements ‘clearly our down fall’, and our apprehension to ask the teenie bopper employees for fear the infamous blank stare would appear or better yet a response of, “Isn’t that what old people drink?” we came across the golden nugget. Ryan grabbed the Plus version and we high tailed it out of dodge. So here I am, a month later, with an addiction. Every morning I succumb to the intoxicating liquid. I’ve branched to different varieties and I must say each is as sweet, but I always come home to my first, Plus. I tried the Carnation version and felt dirty for even trying it. The low carb qualities do not help it’s cause.

I think I’ve been greatly influenced by my dad’s philosophy. If it’s low fat it’s not worth eating. Ryan and I go through 4 sticks of butter at least every month. I like to use salt ‘thank you dad’ and sugar is your friend. As I’ve been realizing with my recent attempt at dieting, as long as you do things in moderation you’re fine. I still eat all the same food that I used to; I just don’t eat as much. I am constantly trying to monitor my intake. Just trying to make sure that I’m still hungry when I’m eating, and you don’t want to get full. This advice coming from Ryan, who has the fastest metabolism, I’ve ever seen.

Back to low fat. I’ve tried at various times throughout my life to cook and eat low fat and it’s just disgusting. Not to mention that a lot of the time the chemicals and extra processing that they do to things to make them low fat ends up being worse for you. And I must point out that every time you hear something on the news about how salt is bad for you, it’s just months later that you hear about how salt is good for you and how people have been dying due to lack of it. ‘replace the word salt with: eggs, sugar, milk, beef, butter, cheese’ I’ve only got one life to live and regular food is way too good to waste my time with low fat crap.

[Note from Ryan: Mmmmmmmmm..beeeeeef....*drool*]
