A Comfortable Soul

Free at last

Kathryn Woodall | June 9, 2010

Until finding and practicing Intu-Flow® in 2006, I dealt with a large amount of back pain that often included searing pain down my leg.  It took about 5 months of daily practice, but that pain went away and has stayed gone.  Given all I’d tried to escape the pain and how many years it had [...]

The Hypocrisy of Hope

Kathryn Woodall | May 16, 2010

Yep, you read the title right.  It will be easy for many of you to dismiss this entire post as me just going through a tough time.  After all, one of my brothers has cancer and another family member is ill.  Some of you might tell yourself that I could just be pissed at the [...]

A Sneak Peak…

Kathryn Woodall | May 1, 2010

I unexpectedly spent the better part of this last week at the hospital with my brother, so the interviews I promised have been delayed. They’re still in the works and hopefully at least one of them will make it to posted status by the end of next week. Meanwhile, I’ve a bit of a sneak [...]

Knee Surgery Prehab

Kathryn Woodall | April 22, 2010

Before I continue writing about the excitement of my recent trip and encounters with some very cool people, it is time to come back to the knee article I promised a few months ago. In November my cat ran into my leg and my knee popped.  By the middle of December I was using crutches [...]

Every Now and Zen

Kathryn Woodall | April 19, 2010

Change happens.  Sometimes it comes in an undeniable wave and sometimes with such soft subtleness we aren’t even aware of the transformation.  Most often perhaps, it is a combination.  Change trickles into our lives and our bodies until the accumulative effect is great enough to catch our attention. A few weeks ago I was sitting [...]

Where the time goes…

Kathryn Woodall | March 3, 2010

It has been a while since posting.  In addition to working on the nutrition book that Coach Sonnon and I are getting closer to releasing, I’ve also undergone surgery on my knee – arthroscopic with micro-fracture.  Getting ready for surgery is a bit like getting ready to go on a long vacation without the opportunity [...]

Avatar

Kathryn Woodall | February 7, 2010

Note:  spoilers present. We went to see Avatar with some friends a few weeks ago.  Since that time, a few people have sent reviews my way.  Some of them have made it clear that while the same film rolls, we all experience a different movie. Avatar is a movie that follows Joseph Campbell’s idea of [...]

Before the Success…

Kathryn Woodall | January 21, 2010

Did you ever notice that right before you are about to succeed: It sometimes feels like you’re moving through rapidly drying superglue There is the temptation to stop pushing because you know you’ve got it in the bag now. All those little (and sometimes not-so-little) distractions challenge you, but staying on target creates a new [...]

The Secret of Success

Kathryn Woodall | January 5, 2010

The following is a clip of a fellow RMAX athlete, Jim Romig.  (He has the shorter haircut and is in black and gray.)  If you view the clip, watch his face.  Watching Jim in this clip, I noticed something important that applies to much of life and may very well be the secret of success. [...]

Thanksgiving Leftovers

Kathryn Woodall | November 30, 2009

For those who celebrate it, I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with family, friends, and good times. We had a great time, and this year I passed on all of the desserts.  I think that the occasional dessert can be part of your life without destroying your health, so it isn’t like I was trying [...]
