My name is Katy. I am a mom, yogini, career woman, blogger, amateur foodie, Shamanic Teacher and Reiki practitioner, artist and spontaneous world traveler. I was born in Dallas, Texas 40-something years ago. I grew up in New Mexico and Alaska, and raised my children in Atlanta, Georgia.
I have had a knack for cooking since I was 4 and am undeniably a great chef. I studied Chemistry at the University of Alaska and raised 2 healthy, smart and seldom-conforming fine young men. I have also spent the last 20 years in the corporate world and traveling as often and as far as possible.
I have a hot yoga tooth - as in, I crave hot yoga like crazy, but don't go as often as I would like. I am currently single and miss the companionship of a partner, but am content with Rita (my chihuahua extraordinaire) until that happens for me again.
Other things most people would know about me, include that I am creative and artistic and have loved to play with clay since I was tiny. I am also a professional clown, my clown name is Kay Kay and I sewed my costume myself - the first (and last!) time I've touched a sewing machine.
Then of course there's the talking to trees thing... I do, I talk to trees...and ladybugs, stumps, rocks, flowers and insects. It's my way of communing with Mother Nature and appreciating the awesome things around me.
