=Kat= like the animal

Eyes that go as deep as roots

Embodying the wisdom of a tree.

I may not be old

But in your lifetime

You only know this version of me.

I have been here before

Not certain in which form,

But my understanding for humans

Is one I cannot ignore,

And my empathetic makeup

Encourages me to reform.

I love to serve.

I love to connect.

I love to feel.

And this is why I transform

Into a friend, an advisor, or soul sister...

Whatever you need,

I am here for you

Before, during, and after the storm.

Get to know me deeper
through a journey down memory lane...

Greetings Family,

It is a pretty interesting feat to describe my journey, credentials, & convey my heart’s message & “identity” through the lens of a bio. What is essential? What makes me unique? What could possibly show the humility of the human within me while also totally standing in my power, my authenticity, & passionate message of Love?

Through a Prayer…

Dear Creator:

To my Family,

seen & unseen, past & future, to all my relations,

Thank you for blessing me with the FAMILY I was born into,

so deep & rich with its history.

An 8th generation Texan, leading me back to roots

before the times of divisional lands.

These ways of pure exploration &

gratitude for the simplicities of life,

harmonized with Spirit through devotional practices

that are in reverence to the abundant earth.

Thank you to my indigenous families, Spanish, & European ancestry.

Thank you to my ancient earth family

~ plants, stones, elements, & creatures.

Thank you to the mountains, deserts, rivers, oceans, jungles, & forests.

Thank you to my cosmic connections from

times beyond our memories & spaces beyond our imagination.

Thank you for the communities that have helped shape me &

Thank you for the pioneers that walk alongside me

in creating a new way...

To the Child in me,

Thank you, Creator, for the gifts

that were installed into my being as a child.

Thank you for the life-long connections to my dreams & their messages.

Thank you for the discovery of my abilities

to connect with loved ones from beyond, ancestors, & guides,

allowing me to remember the divine support on the other side,

always present with us.

Thank you for my connection with Pachamama’s creations &

to Her heartbeat within me.

Thank you for always being so passionate about helping others &

offering a helping hand.

To the Wild One in me,

Thank you for my befriended shadow,

the animal inside of me, the human & my body.

The ones that allow me freedom of expression &

reminds me how beautiful life can be

when we really tune in to how it makes us FEEL ALIVE!

It is such a gift to dance through life with you &

to remember that we are humbly & miraculously

made of nature’s materials.

A divine creature of the earth &

devoted student to the Love within I & I.

Inspiring me to love our collective shadow

more profoundly & unconditionally,

allowing me to be of service

to my fellow gifted brothers & sisters.

To my Beloved within,

Thank you for loving me through thick & thin,

for holding me in moments of loneliness & heartbreak,

for shedding compassion on my patterns & wounds

for building my confidence up to shine, dance & share,

for encouraging my expansion & creativity,

and reminding me that the wholeness to me is

always near, here, & dear

within my heart, body, & tears.
Thank you to this holy tantric vehicle
I get to call home.
Thank you for allowing me to
enjoy & experience this beautiful dream.

Thank you to the Medicines,

To the medicine of my own heart,

to my medicine teachers,

Grandmother Ayahuasca/ Yage, Grandfather Peyote,

Ninos Santos, Santa Maria, Tobacco,

Kambosito, Bufosito.

Thank you for the infinite blessings you have brought

to my life by offering me a space

to dive deep into divinity,

Prayer, Poetry & Purpose.

Thank you for the privilege, honor, & blessing

to serve my community through my own journey of Love.

Thank you for the potent lessons

of seeing, accepting & loving more of me

All aspects & reflections of me

to the best of my ability.

Thank you for the gift of our connection

that is created through deep remembrance & reverence.

To the systems & schools,

Thank you for your guidance, education, & programming.

Thank you to the lessons that have served me &

the ones that no longer do,

for it has inspired me to create change

at the roots of this beautiful existence,

in order to prepare a space of true nourishment

for myself & others to thrive

in joy & beauty.

Aho. Namaste.

~ May all beings everywhere be happy & free.~
