    • Home Again, Home Again

      Posted at 2:02 am by kortneypridy, on June 26, 2018

      It’s so good to be back. Sometimes we have to go beyond ourselves to find ourselves, to come back home.

      These last few months have been so many things, crazy being the first that comes to mind! Since January, I have taken on a new position at work, we planned and booked our honeymoon (yay! August come faster!), and of course we have been working on our little house!

      I have also been on a path of self discovery these last few months. In April, I became a 200 hour certified yoga teacher through the Baptiste Institute. My training was over 3 months and the hardest, most amazing thing I have ever done. Aside from the amazing health benefits, I learned SO much – not just about teaching yoga, but about myself, my relationships, life leadership and everything in between. Most importantly, I learned that we all have unlimited power, love, and light inside of us and accessing that is so much more possible than we think. I also made lifelong friendships with eight amazing women I consider my yogi sisters (that’s the whole crazy bunch down below!) I could go on and on all day about my teacher training and about yoga! I am teaching a class every week and loving every minute of it. If you are in the Grand Junction area, come check out the studio I teach at, Half Moon Yoga! I am thinking of doing an entire post on teacher training… stay tuned for that!

      I also have some exciting house updates to share with all of you! Check out my next few posts for what we have been up to and what we have coming up.

      I’m so excited to be back and sharing my love and light with you! Thank you for being gracious readers and being along for the ride.

    • New Year; More Organized, Mindful Me

      Posted at 2:21 am by kortneypridy, on December 29, 2017

      I got to thinking about this year and how big it’s been for us – one college graduation, one giant wedding, one new blog, two houses – one old and one new -, and all the little things in between. We’ve done a lot of celebrating this year, probably more than I’ve done any other year of my life, and I think that is something to be proud of.

      This is the time of year for reflecting on all the wonderful things and memories from the past year but also for planning and deciding who we want to be going forward. I thought I would share some of my goals for the coming year, and maybe inspire you to make some new goals of your own!

      This year has also been one of major growth for my little sister, Kailey. When I say major, I mean like monumental. She has been on a life changing journey with her health for the past two years. This year, she finally made a break through and is on the path to health and vitality. She has also grown in her spirituality this year, which has helped her begin to heal physically. I have seen so many positive changes in her and her growth has inspired me to grow a little myself.

      So a few of my resolutions for this year are inspired by her – thanks for always pushing me to be the best me, Kate!

      My first resolution this year is to be more organized. I have always thought of myself as organized but this year, I realized my brain just cannot hold everything! I was forgetting things and, worst of all, procrastinating. So, I went to the bookstore and purchased two planners, one for personal organization and the other for organization at work.

      I started using my work planner right away and quickly realized how much it helped me just to write things down. It’s so satisfying to cross things off my list and if it’s written down, staring me in the face, I’m much more motivated to get it done. I’ve been using it almost three weeks and now I wouldn’t be caught dead without it!

      There’s kind of an embarrassing story that goes with my next resolution, but I’m going to tell you anyway in the spirit of reflection and growth! Over Thanksgiving, my sister and mom were in town, we were doing a lot of cooking and our trash can was filling up pretty quickly. Kailey asked me if I was recycling. Looking back on it, I can’t even believe what came out of my mouth. I honestly said, “I really just don’t have time to care about it,” I haven’t stopped thinking about how ridiculous that sounded and how untrue it is!

      I’ve been seeing more horrendous videos of the obscene amounts of plastic in our oceans and I recently learned that every piece of plastic ever made still exists. How crazy is that? The truth is, if each one of us took a few small minutes to be mindful about the products we use and where our trash is going, we really can make a difference. And this is our home after all, so it’s our responsibility, even if the problems aren’t directly affecting us or the solutions seem out of reach. So, this new year, I am going to use less plastic and make time to care about taking care of our Earth.

      My third resolution for 2018 includes all of you! I am working towards posting more frequently this new year and growing my blog. My goal is to post at least once each week. Nik & I have some really exciting things coming up, both with the house and in our lives. I hope you will stay tuned and keep coming back for all things Pridy in the new year! I’d love to hear from all of you as well, what would you like to see going forward? And of course, what are your goals for 2018?

      We wish you all a very happy, prosperous, organized, and mindful new year! Thanks for being part of our 2017 – we love you!

      xo, Kortney.
