hello
my name is kat.
i’m a triple scorpio with a pieces moon and a bachelors degree in psychology. i grew up with a narcissistic mother and then spent too many years married to two different versions of her toxicity. i am disabled, living with me/cfs and pots. i am a cat mom to a wonderful fiesty smart and skittish tortie.
i love the smell and sound of rain, yet come from the desert. did you know there are like millions of shades of green?!? grace and magic was started over a decade over in my quest for finding the magic in the mundane and the grace that kindness and compassion offer. i have a rare, aggressive, terrifying cancer that’s in remission and scares the shit out of me. i was lucky it was found early. i think growing old is a privilege

“You have survived everything you have been through, and you will survive this too. Stay for the person you will become. You are more than a bad day, or week, or month, or year, or even a decade. You are a future of multifarious possibility. You are another self at a point in future time looking back in gratitude that this lost and former you held on. Stay.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

Better Together
~Jack Johnson
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it’s so hard?
comes and goes in waves
~Greg Laswell
This one’s for the faithless, the ones that are surprised
They’re only where they are now, regardless of their fight
This one’s for believing, if only for its sake
Come on friends, get up now, love is to be made
love
I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT love
I really do believe it’s the answer…
