Hi my name is Katherine and I have been "hard working" free now for about 40 days.

Over the past 11 years I have been able to recognize in myself where I have been addicted to being right, addicted to the fight (and winning it!) and this last year, 2024, I can see where I was addicted to hard work.

"nothing worth having ever comes easy" was a "hidden value & principle" that I lived by. This was a tricky one for me to let go of because hard work does get you ahead, the willingness to never give up, never give in and never quit is a HUGE STRENGTH. However it can also be very destructive, as any tool can, when not used in creative way.

Our family adventure to Kauai really showed me PEACE & MAGIC in a whole new way - I felt like I was getting it on a cellular level.

Since our trip, my values have changed. I have been putting PEACE & LOVE ahead of MONEY & HARD WORK. It has been extremely uncomfortable, I was feeling lost and uncertain..... Everything in my life is now...

December 2022…. I just finished riding my horse in a lesson with my coach.nn It was Great! My mom had called me the night before and asked to talk to me after my ride that day.  She didn’t say about what, it didn’t seem like anything too bad.  She walked over while I un-tacked my horse and we stepped aside together for a moment.  She told me that she had breast cancer.  She told me about her appointments, her diagnosis and her treatment plan.  To say the least, I was shocked.  This was NOT something I saw coming.  I always saw my mom as one of the healthiest, fittest people around!  She had just turned 60, she was active…. My mind was blown. 

The first course of treatment for my mom was surgery, in february.  She asked if I would go with her - ABSOLUTELY! This would be followed by weekly chemo treatments starting in the spring and radiation later that summer.  She asked if I would be able to help drive...
