Well, it has been a while since I did a new look for our homepage, so here it is. What do ya think? This is a theme instead of the usual totally custom method I do, but I like it. It is a very magazine type of look, but it gets a lot more content on the front page, and uses the sidebars better. So it should drive a little more traffic, and be easier to use for those that do show up.
My good friend Kat over at Self Symmetry recently posted a really nice blog entry thanking me for some work I did for her on that website. So here is the post, not to toot my own horn, but hopefully get some of our friends more interested in a great yoga teacher! ~ Ryan
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

We went on a getaway earlier this week. It can be exhausting waiting for the phone to ring or an email to come in about a job opportunity. It’s important to keep your spirits up, so we’ve been trying to frequent parks and take in as much fresh air as we can. That’s a difficult thing to do living in the city, so we decided to go camping.
We were headed up to OK, but found out there was a burn ban, and what’s the fun in camping without a fire? We ended up at Martin Creek State Park, in one of their little cabins. We like to do tent camping, but Illianna is still a little too young. Illianna loved running around the cabin and exploring the woods. She was collecting things and giggling at every corner. I’ve never seen her so filthy, and let me say she is a regular mess pot, but this took the cake. I turned a blind eye to the dirt until she grabbed some cereal which had obviously fallen in the dirt/ash and came up to me with dirty hands and a black mouth trying to spit it out. Poor little thing. She’s so well trained to pick her food up and eat it after it’s fallen on the floor.
It was nice to see trees older than a couple of years, and we almost had the park to ourselves, but there was a huge power plant humming in the distance and a stupid train announcing its presence every hour or so. We were able to see some wildlife, roast marshmellows, hike around, and see a few more stars than we can see from our backyard, but we won’t be returning to that park. We managed to take a pretty decent photo of ourselves.
