The Art of Wall Street – California Creations
On June 2, 2018 by adminI feel like each place that I visit has a lesson to teach me, a form of symbolism to spark within myself and that is exactly how I wanted to structure my blogs throughout my travels. I’m hoping to somehow incorporate a balance of travel/destination advice in combination with my personal experiences and of course the depth and perspective each place contributes to my life.
So here goes:

Gotta Catch Em All! – Your Minimap To Life
On April 25, 2018 by adminAfter three years of our relationship (and 22 years of my life in Australia) – we thought it was due time for my partner to return to his roots to visit the family and beauty of Tasmania. As his pop hands me the map of Tasmania I’m left with the thought of how nice it would be if we had our own minimap to help guide us through the journey of our lives. Much like a UAV there assisting the completion of each mission, guiding us to unlocking each level of life.

Culling the Clutter to Happiness
On October 30, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveWhen I was reflecting on the times of my life that I have felt the most at peace with myself, the times I was truly and wholeheartedly happy, I realised that more often than not these were times I was living out of a suitcase. At first I believed this to be solely because I was overseas and it was the experiences I was having, the country I was in and the people I was with. It wasn’t until not long ago that I realised there was more to it than that…

Letter To My Present Self: My Guide to Early Twenties.
On October 3, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveThis week I approach my 22nd birthday, another year older and most definitely wiser. You know those years that are filled with consistent highs and pure happiness? Yeah well this year has definitely not been that for me at all! Quite the contrary. But with struggle comes ample growth so I am appreciative.
So here is a letter to my present self, advice about the things to focus on in such a significant part of my life.
Dear Kaitlyn, or at this stage Kaity/Darling…
Right now you are in arguably one of the most lost stages of life, so remember that you are able to deal with circumstances far worse than you ever believe you can. Know that your lowest of lows result in an even higher high. Remember not to compare pain because pain is not relative to circumstance, pain is relative to experience. Your ability to cope with situations is relative to the experiences that have equipped you to deal with them. Forgiveness is strength not weakness and is a lesson that you’re going to learn in order to free yourself.

A Letter To 16 Year Old Me
On September 26, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveIn light of my birthday coming up next week I wanted my next few posts to not only reflect on the past but act as incentive and an alignment referral for the future. The process of writing a letter to my past, present and future self definitely helped to re-evaluate where I’m at and where I’m going.
So what advice would you give to your younger self?
Dear Kaitlyn,

CARD FOR HUMANITY – Embracing Your Inner ‘Weird’
On September 13, 2017 by admin
“You are easily the weirdest person I’ve ever met, it took us a year of being together to find out you sleep with a toy purple dinosaur”…
What my partner said sparked a lesson in me about how I embraced my inner-depth and how you can too.

5 THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN STUCK IN A RUT
On August 30, 2017 by adminLet’s face it, in life we are constantly stuck in situations. Stuck in a dead-end job not knowing what other path to take. Stuck studying a subject you don’t even like. Stuck living at home with your parents wanting to move out. Stuck single wanting a relationship. Stuck in a relationship with no growth or not knowing whether you’re in the right relationship. Sound familiar to anyone? I’m absolutely not an expert in all these topics, but these are the things I make myself remember to become okay with feeling stuck. Because I do feel like an expert in that field!
1. You are working towards doing something whether you know it or not. Give yourself some credit because despite how it may look the rest of us are feeling the same in one way or another! This is not an excuse if you know you could be doing more to get to where you want to be. It is reassurance that despite what you think, you are progressing. Even if you believe you feel stuck the mere life experience doing what you’re doing, the conversations, the memories, the time and especially the mistakes are going to contribute to finding your way. Helping gain clarity deciding what you want and just as importantly what you don’t want.
