New Blog Post: Last Christmas

Dear Friends,

Last Christmas day I flew across the country in my Christmas onesie pj’s with a bow attached to the front and my Santa hat to surprise my parents and my sister. As I sprinted across the Denver Airport sweating through said onesie pj’s, I wondered if I was going to get stuck in the Denver Airport on Christmas day, with only two full days + some extra planned for my trip, and with no more flights leaving for my sister's small town until a few days later.

Spoiler alert: I made my flight...although not without regret for the clothing choices of the now sweated-through Christmas onesie pj’s (and as an aside to note for the future, onesies are not great in airplane bathrooms).

The drama was all worth it for the look on my mom and dad’s faces when I walked into that room and yelled “surprise!”

We spent a long weekend together exploring my sister and brother-in-law’s adorable town, and at the end of the weekend we all piled into my sister’s minivan, went to the tiny airport, watched a beautiful sunset from the terminal, hugged goodbye and off I went, back across the country.

I’ve been thinking about that trip a lot lately. While I knew it had been a long time since I’d been able to have Christmas with my folks, I had no way of knowing that last Christmas would be my dad’s last Christmas on earth, and I am so very grateful that I got to spend that day and that weekend with him, sweaty pj’s and all.

My dear friend, I hope, as we move through life, that we find a little more time and space to spend time with and cherish the people we love.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Creative Thinking

Dear Friends,

Gardening has always been one of those activities I feel like I should enjoy, but in reality I don’t really. I sure do appreciate a beautiful garden, but do I have one myself? No, no I do not.

I was with a client the other day, she needed to get some gardening done and it was her hour to spend, so that’s exactly what we did. I was having a great time digging holes and chatting, and as I did, I was thinking, it’s not that I dislike gardening, it’s that I don’t have time in my life for it. So instead of gardening feeling like a relaxing activity and something I look forward to, it’s a burden and a thing on the list of things that I need to get done.

But this particular gardening session was nothing like that…because it wasn’t my garden and it wasn’t my time, it was someone else's garden and someone else’s time, and what a delightful time it was.

Later that day I was helping a client think through how to keep showing up to her movement practice even though her life situation has shifted a bit…and, my friend, we were able to reframe some thinking and figure out spaces and we found a way forward even in a changed situation.

Sometimes it takes some creative thinking to figure out ways to show up for areas in our lives that perhaps might feel like a burden, or areas that we no longer have the same time or space that we used to. But I think, with a willingness to expand our thinking and think creatively we can continue to show up for those areas in life that might sometimes feel necessary, but not exactly desired.

I hope you have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: I thought

Dear Friends,

I thought that this was the week I’d get back to writing, that I would feel inspired again…but I sit down and nothing comes.

Life gets that way sometimes, right?

As some of you know, my dad passed away quickly and unexpectedly earlier this month, so fast and unexpected it was a bit like whiplash.

I have this laundry list of circumstances, timelines, people, events that I am so profoundly grateful for through this whole experience, and they run through my mind on the daily, but at the end of the day my dad still passed away, and that is really hard.

This past weekend my son, some friends and I took the paddle boards and the canoe out and spent a beautiful and delightful day on the water. I thought of my dad as I taught two twelve year olds how to do a c stroke and a j stroke in the canoe like my dad had done for that age group for a lifetime. I told them a joke I had heard from my dad a million times about “high finance canoeing” (you go from bank to bank)...it landed pretty flat because, well, they’re twelve year olds and also, I just don’t tell jokes like my dad did…but no one does.

Gratitude and profound sadness at times go hand in hand as we walk through this life.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

Praying

It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

HOPE

Hope is there alright
but you have to let it,
you have to let hope tip the scales.

Everywhere you look, it is there—
standing up, stepping forward,
speaking out. No more of this,
yes now to that, shaking hands, planting
trees, counting birds, counting stars, starfish,
grains of sand clinging to toes.

You have to let it.
You have to take your hand off the scale.
You have to let go of helpless,
reach out your finger
and place it on hope.

-Mary Walker

There is a life-force

within your soul,

seek that life.

There is a gem in the

mountain of your body,

seek that mine.

O traveler, if you are

in search of that,

don't look outside,

look inside yourself

and seek That.

New Blog Post: The Pond

Dear Friends,

Last spring when riding along the bike trail on his way to school, my son almost ran over a red-eared slider turtle and asked if he could bring it home. Seeing as they are an invasive species I said “sure, so long as you build me a turtle pond to house it in.”

So he set off to work, for the better part of the spring he was digging a hole and setting up the pond whenever he had time away from his classes. Once his brother came home from school the two of them went right to work continuing to build and improve that pond.

Countless hours of work, one missing turtle, a super cute tiny creek, pond plants growing like weeds, a bevy of mosquito-eating fish (which, by the way, are amazing at decimating mosquito larvae population, hooray!) a bunch of goldfish, and one adorable koi later and we have a pond that gives the three of us, plus the birds, the squirrels, the bees and the local neighborhood cats immense amounts of joy. The vision isn’t fully complete yet, but it’s on its way.

Mr. turtle might not be around anymore, but he sure was an inspiration in our backyard.

We all get inspiration in life at times. Sometimes that inspiration comes in the form of joyful and fun circumstances, and sometimes, sometimes that inspiration comes in the form of heartache and sadness…but even after the reason for the inspiration has disappeared, whether that inspiration was fortunate or unfortunate, we can still choose to use that momentum, that inspiration for good in our lives.

I hope you have an inspired week, my friend.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Heyday

Dear Friends,

While I was in California last week we spent a day in San Francisco, and one of the stops we made was the ruins of the Sutro Baths. Built in 1894 by millionaire Adolpho Sutro, these sprawling seawater baths contained 7 pools of various temperatures, holding up to 10,000 people in its facility.

The ruins were fun to wander, I had always wanted to see them, but hadn’t prior to this visit. While they were fun to wander, I couldn’t help but think that the baths themselves must have been wildly impressive in their heyday.

Now they are just remainders of a time past and gone, but even in those remainders, there is beauty in the ruins.

My dear friend, I hope you can see the beauty in the past, and the beauty in the present. They may look and feel different, one may be more or less spectacular than the other, there may be spaces in past or present that hold no beauty…and yet, the beauty is there.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Find the Magic

Dear Friends,

A week or so ago I went on a walk along the creek as the world was growing dark. It was a beautifully mild evening, the temperature was perfect and was not overly humid, and the fireflies along the creek were out in force.

They never fail to be magical, those fireflies. They come every year, and every year, my friends, they are still just as magical as the last.

I walked along the creek, listening to the water running, and noticing a particular tree that seemed to be more prolific with fireflies than most, and just enjoying this beautiful evening around me. After I got back to the street, I looked up and noticed what looked to be a barred owl on a line, and sure enough, as I got closer, the owl flew away.

If it’s been a while since you’ve spent some time stopping and noticing the magic around you, I would encourage you to slow down, to spend some time noticing, to see and enjoy the world around you. There’s beauty and magic around us, my friend, if only we stop long enough to notice it.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Deep Belonging

Dear Friends,

I’ve been thinking about my childhood home a lot lately, and the one thing that continues to stand out to me is my childhood home was a home of deep welcoming, of deep belonging.

It was a small house, full of 5 kids, various extras living with us at any given time, with pet cats, rabbits, snakes, chickens, rats, turtles and a tarantula for a while, a canoe trailer full of canoes and a couple of 15 passenger vans frequently living in the driveway, and pretty near constant chaos.

I had this spot up a tree in the front yard and a spot on the roof where I would frequently hang out and read or just be, because sometimes you just needed a quiet place of your own, which was hard to come by.

But it was a house where you always knew you belonged, no matter who you were or what time you stopped by.

My brother-in-law tells the story of the first time he came over. My mom had to feed him, because, well, you couldn’t come over without being fed…and so her offering was a hot dog and broccoli wrapped in a tortilla, because that was all she had in the house.

Thinking about it, I don’t think all of our houses need to be places where anyone can stop by at any time…I think that’s a place of personal preference and very personal wants and needs and, frankly, not all are built for near constant chaos…but I certainly hope that you’ve experienced those places, those spaces of deep welcoming and deep belonging…where you know you’ll be accepted, no matter how or when you show up.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista
