Pick up what I'm laying down

I'm in absolute awe of the little things in life such as what just simply sharing... can do to a persons heart.
How it can ground them, tether them to the moment and have them relishing in the human experience.
Lookie what a student shared with me in 21 Secrets 2013... isn't she beautiful!



Tracy Watson shares:

Absolutely love your work - so was inspired to have a go!  Very scared to publish this but here goes.  Would love any feedback Kristina on how I could have improved this.  Did not go for ears but diddly boppers (that's what we call them in the UK) instead!  Tracyx

And I am a grateful daughter of this universe I'll tell you. Blessed beyond measure...forgetful as I may be to this blessing at times. And then... a student shares with me that I have helped them surpass a sort of fear that would otherwise have left them stagnant or paralyzed to go forward and my heart just SPLITS wide open. Oh yeah... that's the good stuff... all that HEART stuff. I encourage you to find it in your day today. In your week this week. In your weekend this weekend. In your month this month...well.. you picking up what I'm laying down here?


Be good Lion Hearts! Be Good to YOU!

 { Oh hello you }

Been awhile and summer is here and there is so many exciting things that are coming...that have gone...that are still marinating in all their glorious juices!

I have had some AMAZING feedback from you all that are CRAVING an {ACCEPT}ional life! I am so grateful for all my students that are incredibly LION HEARTED and have taken steps to {ACCEPT} themselves in AS IS condition! Bravisimo lion hearts.. you are so beautiful!

I have been asked to teach in another online workshop and I am incredibly EXCITED about this !! More details to come (insert me doing the cabbage patch kid and 80's Robot...oh yea)!
I have been approached to do a couple artist interviews as well and I am looking forward to delving in deep and getting to some core heart centered questions.. YUM!
Stay tuned creative hearts!
Personally it's been a blessed but rough couple months... my Rhain has graduation high school.. my Sunny turned 20 and I find myself on the verge of buying our first home and it just being me and my adorable, amazing husband. YIKES!  It's a scary, exciting feeling to think that I am only {37} and I still have so much ahead of me..that I can finally focus on .. {ME}.. (insert me with a blank stare). 

This absolutely terrifies me people. I am working on it ;)!

I have a newfound (lost and then found again) love affair with {POLAROIDS}... oh you have no idea what this does for my soul! 
With the help of
I am able to take these little photographs..these little snippets of my life and put them down in my journal. 
In the digi-insta-age this really quenches my thirst for old school film! 
Needless to say...
{{I am in heaven}}




Like I mentioned earlier we are house hunting.. and after years of wishing/plotting/planning/saving we are at the fun part.  
{The hunt} 
It's been WAY harder than I thought it would be. Houses come on the market and they get gobbled up so quickly your head spins. We've taken a break to go with a different Real Estate Agent (she's badass I love her) and get refinanced with a different lender and will be starting the hunt again come July.. 
{OH WISH ME LUCK CUPCAKES}

Meanwhile I am trying to not let that deter me from doing my work...
I hope you are embracing the Summer months and taking time for
 relaxation, poolside, lakeside, oceanside time!
