I'll be on the road A LOT this year. So, I took the time to put together a list of the things I consider Travel Necessities. I hope this serves you well in all of your travels this year & beyond!
15 Travel Necessities from a Girl on the Go — KateyKratz.com If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook at all, you KNOW that this girl is always on the go. Over the last year, I’ve easily spent at least a 1/4 of the year on the road, in the car, or traveling somewhere. With the recent announcement of my addition to Captain Geech and the Shrimp ...

How are you starting your week?
I’m starting my week off with a little brain dump and intention setting.
By physically writing out all of my schedule for the week, I feel like I get more of a grasp of it. I’m able to better see where there are gaps and where I can plan for down time.
Intentionally setting aside time personal time for rest and relaxation is a newer construct for me. Instead of seeking ways to fill all of the gaps in my schedule with productive to-dos or “shoulds”, I’m seeking out opportunities to take time for ME.
After writing down the meat of my schedule for the week, I then create a short list of people I want to intentionally connect with over the next two weeks. I write down times I can connect with them and reach out to get something physically written down so that I’m SURE we make that connection happen.
Then comes the “focus on” list. This is my list of targeted to-dos. The things that I’d like to see happen this week that aren’t the MUSTS already on my schedule. If something MUST get done, it goes on my google calendar and on my hand written schedule. By writing it down in the schedule, I’m creating accountability and setting aside a specific time block to do that thing. Everything else in the “focus on” list can fill in the gaps and spaces.
Lastly, I identify something to let go of and set my intention for the week. This week I’m letting go of guilt. The “I should” statement. The words “I should” are self-guilting. There’s little consideration in those words for the “I want”. So this week, I’m letting go of guilt and setting my intention to create a peaceful, easy space and a week I enjoy. A week filled with smiles!
What intention are you setting for this week?

I have been overwhelmingly saddened by the news coming out of Las Vegas. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this horrific tragedy. Thank you to my incredible colleague Alisabeth Hopper for sharing her thoughts on this senseless event and reminding us that the music continues.
We Will Still Make Music | Music Therapy Connections We Will Still Make Music by Alisabeth Hopper | Oct 2, 2017 | MTC I had originally planned to write about something entirely different… until I woke up this morning. I heard the news about the tragedy in Las Vegas and my heart broke. After seeing the news on my phone, I noticed the time and that I ha...

Last week, I wrote on the blog about how I fell in love all over again with my husband when I saw the Almond Milk in the fridge. It was the silliest, most meaningful moment in my week and the perfect way to share the upcoming changes you'll see on the blog and this page. http://www.onagoodnote.net/falling-in-love-over-almond-milk/
