I don’t care what anyone else thinks (but actually I do)

October 11, 2011

Interdependence is what we crave in our lives. We begin from a place where we positively meet our own needs and through the doorway of self-love and respect we find others like us to love and cherish.

How would you know if you were good enough?

October 7, 2011

It is not enough for me to tell you that none of that is true. It is not enough for you to know that you’re doing the best that you can. None of that makes a difference when the voice in your head whispers to you just before you go to sleep that you need to be richer, more nurturing, more beautiful and more loved than you are now.

Forget doing the things you love : Do the person you love

September 5, 2011

Real love is looking into the eyes of another person and without words or touch, reaching into their heart and feeling their essence. It is calming yourself and holding on to yourself while standing within another’s arms. It is drowning in emotion while never losing sight of who you are.

Self love — you’re doing it right

September 1, 2011

A strong and yet supple sense of who you are encourages self-reliance and autonomy. It means you are confident that the answers lie inside you instead of with someone else. It allows you to lay open your heart and fall into the heart of another without losing yourself. It lets you love your dark places without fear that they will drive people away.

Everything I know about Buddhism I learned from Monkey

August 24, 2011

The tour guide is a Buddhist nun. She is young, Asian, and beautiful in spite of, or maybe because of her shaved head. She reminds me of Tripitaka, the Buddhist boy priest in the cult TV series Monkey. I wonder for a moment if the majority of my Buddhist education comes from television. No wonder I am confused.

The 3-2-1 of the Universe

August 22, 2011

Some people stop at observing the Universe, some stop when they are in a relationship with god, and some people embody their higher consciousness in the first person and exclude all else. The Universe is You, Us and Me. All three aspects are important.

Hi ~ I’m KatieP
Life doesn't turn out the way it's meant to. I believed that if I was a good girl and followed the rules then I would live the life of my dreams.

Instead, I ended up with an eating disorder and having to cope with my husband's decision to kill himself.

When everything turned to shit I no longer had the energy to be the person I thought the world wanted me to be. I discovered that being my authentic self opened up a world of joy and peace beyond anything I'd ever imagined.

Here on this site I share everything I know (and what I'm learning) about holding on to my authentic self in the midst of an imperfect life.
