How things change!
This year has been kinda crazy for me! For those of you who know me personally, you will know what a huge thing this is 😂 I vowed for many years that I would never bring children into this world. I found it an alarmingly terrifying prospect, being so responsible for another persons life and was pretty pessimistic about the role that humanity is playing on the destruction of our planet.
I was traumatised from an abusive childhood and thought on a deep and profound level tha

Yoga with the Vienna Capitals!
My first Yoga TV experience! I had the immense pleasure of giving a Yoga session to the goalies of the Vienna Capitals ice hockey team. They were great guys and we had a lot of fun. It's wonderful to work with people who are so in touch with their bodies, it makes teaching a lot easier, I can tell you! (Video in German) #living #me #yoga #life #livingabroad

2019 - No resolutions, just letting it be!
My 2019 started with more of a mewl, than a bang ... I spent the evening with my husband watching silly movies and alternately getting up to watch the fireworks from our balcony and trying to block out the noise of the fireworks from our balcony. There was some confliction about the enjoyment factor, for sure. Over the course of the last year, I feel that there has been a huge change within me. With the start of 2018, I had already created a page in my 'vision diary', applied

Everyone falls ... yup, me too! Stop trying to be perfect and just relax, will ya? ;-)
I've been practicing yoga now for about 10 years. I've got a teaching certificate that states I spent a month living the life of a monk and have mastered to an elementary (and completely arbitrary) level, certain aspects of the yogic tradition ... including something called 'asana' (which in my vocabulary roughly translates to falling on my face out of various poses ... ). Now, 'asana' (the physical movements of yoga) is very often mistaken for being 'yoga' in its whole form

I'm coming out of the closet!
OMG, I bet that made you look didn't it! But yes, it's true ... I can no longer live this lie that I have been trying to maintain over the past few years ... I feel that its time to step, authentically into my new (old) truth ... it's a difficult thing to cope with for some but once I have admitted it to myself and my family (that means you guys, if you didn't know) then we can begin to grow together into this bold, new future. Here goes ... My name is Kate and ... I'm a port

Hi there my furry followers, long time no speak!
So here we are again and yet another great swathe of time has passed us by without me saying hello to y'all ... I do apologise and hereby swear that from now on I will look after my blog with the loving care that it deserves. So as you will know if you have been following my exciting, hair-raising and epic journey through the last few months, I have finally plunged headlong into the icy depths of self-employment ... (well, not quite ... I mean, it's getting there, but in orde

Where the hell have you been, ballbag?
Hey guys! Jeez, I'm sorry ... time ran away with me and before I knew it 2 months had gone by without me writing a single flippin word ... oh, well ... you can breathe easy again because I'm back to rant a bit more about whatever seems to be the latest fly in my ointment ... (GRREEEAAAAAT, I hear you cry sarcastically). So it seems that I am no longer a teacher! OMG, I'm so happy about it you literally have no idea ... teaching was (for me) the employment equivalent of eating

How being depressed became my greatest motivation!
I had a revelation yesterday! This is happening more and more ... I don't know if it's because I'm getting older and my mind, like some tired old elephant, has finally been worn down and started giving me the answers I have been seeking after all these years or what ... all I know is ... I'm LOVING what I'm realising! For those of you who have been following my journey (shame on you if you haven't ... as if ANYTHING could be more interesting than what's going on MY LIFE ...;-

Practicing gratefulness: it really is life changing!
Guess what I did yesterday? ... go on ... go on ... go on ... OK, I'll tell you! I went to look at an apartment here in Vienna that cost €980,000 ... yep, nearly a cool million! Now don't get yer knickers in a twist ... of course I don't have a million to spend on an apartment (I'm aiming at it but so far my manifesting powers have been limited to parking spaces and the odd hot beverage so lets see what the future holds for Kate the millionaire) but I was really interested to

Being an immigrant: 4 things I miss about England
I love Vienna! Really ... this city is beautiful ... the architecture, the river, the parks, the climate (sometimes the winters are freakin' nippy, not gonna lie ... but the 40° summers make up for that) ... everything is just bloody lovely. Even the people (who have been stated as being some of the rudest in the world ... srs, they actually can be sometimes unless you know how to handle 'em!) are usually pretty friendly and helpful. The fact that Vienna has won best city in
