The Surrendered Path

This page has required updating for quite some time. A journey that once started when this blog started in 2022, truly started many other times, in many other places, and has grown to surpass what I ever believed to be possible.

Is a snapshot in time, a blog, ever a complete reflection of a person, of a journey, of course not. Nor does it need to be.

This platform is a collection of ideas, stories and love captured for you to enjoy, for me to enjoy, and for us all to find encouragement and inspiration on our adventures. It’s entertainment meant to bring us together.

Happy to have you here, I’m Katie. I’ve chosen to be a wife to a witty charming genius, a mother of two of my favorite tiny humans, a writer, a nature enthusiast and hiker, an explorer of the physical and non physical, and in pursuit and enjoyment of the mystical magical moments available to all of us in life. I’ve become pretty handy with a tuning fork, amongst other methods, releasing emotional blockages, helping the body thrive.

Faith in that which we can not see, which we see after believing, sends tingles up my spine. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” [Hebrews 11:1]

I’ve given myself permission to be my authentic self and radiate love. I believe deep down, deep inside, this is what we all crave, to be our authentic selves, and loved (first loved by ourselves so that we can love others), to follow our joys, our interests, our hobbies, our desires to travel and experience, to create art whatever that means to us, to just exist in the stillness of the present moment, to feel nature come alive around you, to marvel, to both love and laugh deeply, and follow that part of us inside that’s always leading.

To experience the above while keeping ourselves connected to God, to source energy, having it flow to and through our bodies, happens while staying aligned and centered. To feel the nudges, hunches, see the synchronicities, co-insidences (because I no longer believe in coincidences) of events that reflect our internal world externally.

I have come to believe the very thing I searched for, perhaps what we all search for, can be found in quiet moments that fill our eyes with happy tears siting in peace feeling waves of appreciation for so much good in our lives and throughout the expansive unlimited universe. It is deep within, in the stillness, in the absence of form.

I have come to believe that life is more magical, full of miracles, exploding with agape love, than I ever knew possible. That the energy that runs this universe, the energy that keeps the planets in alignment, that rotates the earth, bringing sunrise and sunsets, holding the moon, rotating the tides, rising fluids in our body as we are mostly water ourselves, regulating hormone cycles to highlight a few, is alive within us and when we connect to it, when our energy is on and flowing, our bodies explode with energy, intention, intuition and we come into alignment with all that is, and form slow, massive smiles.

We get what we focus on. We see, what’s within.

When we take time to find what that means for each of us, and let everything go that is not that, that doesn’t bring us alive, that doesn’t wake us up at 4 am full of appreciation and excitement, we are left with our souls mission, our life path, our path illuminated by divine light. We are left, with clarity, with focus.

Once we start walking our true paths, as our true selves, and no longer exist just staying in line, out of obligation, fear, tradition, or what we believe is expected of us, we become our authentic selves. When we give ourselves permission to be our authentic selves, we give others permission.

When you are authentic you can’t help but to not want anything other than that, for everyone, and blessing them and their journey, regardless of where they currently are, because each of our masterpieces is a work in progress.

The masterpiece is never finished, not mine and not yours. It’s always a work in progress, there is always more.

May you feel truly alive, in alignment, full of love and excitement for your day.

May you follow one joy to the next, choosing what sets your soul on fire.

May you experience endless smiles, deep belly laughter, excitement and excited nervousness in the face of the unknown, as they are all great mile markers for a well examined life.

I once heard it put this way and loved it, I remind myself often not to waste a second arguing for my limitations.

Instead, daydream about how good could it get, on what beautiful journey could you find yourself on….

“Man is only limited by weakness of attention and poverty of imagination.” -Neville Goddard

Where are you focusing your attention? Is it towards your expansion or an argument for your limitations?

“Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24).

There have been many paths in our life that have all lead, one supporting another to this point.

I thank all of them.

I believe a life well-lived, is an examined life. I believe that everything within us is reflected around us. We can at any moment, look to see, why did I choose this? What is within me that radiates this way, attracting these situations outside of me.

We can have the tendency in life to blame, judge, and force our way through situations, all of these, removing us further from the answers we seek, from the true us, within.

When we surrender, pause, stop trying to make ourselves feel better reaching for anything outside of us, and instead settle down and find that place within us of pure bliss, solitude, joy, love, peace, God within us, we find what we were trying so hard to find.

It was never outside, it was never going to be found from a state of disconnection with what’s inside. No amount of force can get you there.

Removal of emotional blocks and energy, stuck and resisted, repressed blocking our flow of life-force energy though our bodies, results in the creation of space.

In this space, we find a deeper area within, we find clarity, focus, we can connect.

When we connect, we can then reflect that in our world.

Nothing happens to us, it happens for us. And it happens because we knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, chose it. We attracted it, we live in a vibrational world. And like vibrations, attract.

We have all of the answers we could ever hope to find, ever seek, and ever want to know.

The key is within. God is within us, God is outside of us, and in everything. As above, so below. The reflection is within us, inward is where we find peace.

Much Love, Xo,
Katie
