Where to start?!?!? My name is Katy, often nicknamed Kitten... plus a whole bunch of other REALLY silly, nonsensical names that get thought up along the way by my most beautiful friends!!!! I'm brave, silly, dippy, ditzy, bonkers, romantic, unglued, clumsy, clever, wise, tenacious, balanced, curious, grounded, idiotic and UTTERLY ridiculous all at the same time. I'm eclectic, kooky and (mildly!!! lol) eccentric in my tastes in well, pretty much everything! Life in Kittens world is a little squiffy and 'cuckoo' to say the least - so you HAVE been warned...giggle giggle!!
"I cling to my imperfections, as the very essence of my being" -Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault-
I love those I love, unconditionally and passionately and I give ALL that I have to give. I will take a bullet in a heartbeat, for the people in my life whom I love and cherish
I wear my heart on my sleeve - TOO much! lol ;o) I'm enormously trusting and forgiving... sometimes to my detriment! I believe in always trying to see the good in people, even those whose actions are not very kind! ;o( I'm capaciously affectionate and passionate about everyone and everything I hold dear to my heart. I'm fragile and vulnerable BUT tough when I need to be. I fight hard for anything and anyone I believe in and I don't quit on myself, my beliefs, dreams or those I love. I am hugely blessed to have so many incredible people in my life, without whom, I just don't know where I'd be right now??... they've not only been there during the fun and crazy party times (which have been THE BEST fun my loves!!), but they're the dear friends who have walked with me in my darkest hours, reminding me just how strong I am ... and that I really CAN keep going for as long as it takes to get through even the toughest of times
I believe that our struggles and strifes are what make life so awesome. Everything happens for a reason, good and bad...
It takes both the rainstorms AND the sunshine to bring out the paradisiac beauty and colour of life's most magnificent and wondrous rainbows...
Our challenges, pains and heartaches are what make us so resilient and able to carry on - without them we couldn't possibly know what it is to be truly ALIVE - we would never reach our personal awakening!!! And once we've climbed that mountain, or weathered even the worst of storms, things are only ever reinforced with an unbreakable and everlasting strength
I believe in ALWAYS helping those less fortunate in any way I can. Showing kindness and compassion and going out of my way to do something special no matter how small, to make a positive difference to the lives of others. I believe that we all have the power to make a difference and make the world a better place
I love to be inspired and I love to inspire anyone who feels that I have something to offer. I am pretty special... It took me an astonishing (and not to mention lengthy, arduous and profound!!!) journey, to feel comfortable in saying that about myself without feeling conceited, BUT I know wholeheartedly that I do not allow one single day to pass by, without doing my very best for myself and for others. That's something I pride myself on. I always strive to live by principals of goodness and kindness, truth and integrity. I also know how crazy I can be - bordering on insane some might say - lol, but hey, none of you would love me THIS much if i lost that spark of madness now would you - lol!!! Where WOULD we be without Kittens wild, demented and deranged moments huh??!? - giggle giggle?!?!?
Life excites me like the most explosively breathtaking fireworks display. Planning for the future and living for today fills me with a SOARING passion to catch every bit of beauty and enchantment that life has to give.
I want to learn all that I can about this life. I'm a total dreamer and I TOTALLY believe in making those dreams my reality ...and I won't settle until I do! I treasure every single minute of every day, even the bad stuff and I realise how precious and short my time on Earth is. I don't want to waste a second of it. I want to experience all that there is to experience
I NEVER take anything or anyone for granted, I learn't from mistakes, heartaches and losses, long long ago to cherish everything and everyone...and I thank god and my friends everyday for ALL of my blessings!

I'm a TOTAL believer in Karma... "What Goes Around Comes Around"...and anyone who chooses to do an unkindness to another, WOW...you'd better watch out...sooner or later it'll come back around and bite you in the butt - OUCH, that's gotta hurt!!!
Dislikes??? Hahaha!!! Well, I guess it's fair to say that I pretty much despise 'Materialism' and 'Superficiality' and all that they stand for. I will never figure out WHY so many people place such importance on material shit!? What joy or delight do they take from that ostentatious crap?? Don't get me wrong, I love my job to death but I see SO many guys and girls everyday in the industries I work, just desperately hanging out with the 'superficial', 'jet set-glitterati' herds, clambouring to wear designer labels and drink champagne, befriending the 'in-crowd' just to get on guestlists, girls hanging with guys just to get VIP tables and that free bottle of vodka (with mixers - lol!!!)... all looking like clones of one another and talking utter 'OH MY GOD' bullshit...... I guess when one reaches their own personal awakening, a place where one is comfortable within their own skin and has true inner peace and clarity, it's tough to sit by and watch these lost creatures trying to prove themselves and sell themselves out ...I actually find it a little upsetting, it's kind of like being on the sidelines of some crazed freak show! The "wannabe" players and "wannabe" party girls, all abhorrent in their quest... it's their shallowness that's beyond ghastly and I guess you could say that I loathe every bit of 'fake' and 'covetous' bullshit that they represent....such insincere, mendacious crap. For every one girl I see each day wearing her prized Chanel sunglasses, I see a thousand of them - fake, insincere, ugly on the inside, shallow, conformists who claim to be "individuals" and "spiritual"... out to jump on whichever glitz and glamour bandwaggon that passes them by first! They're just TOO FUNNY!!!! They wouldn't know real spirituality if it hit them in their Marc Jacobs handbags! I have to say, everything that these people 'J'Adore' in their "Dior", I pretty much f*cking hate, with a passion! Dealing with them is the major DOWN side of my job! On the PLUS side though, you know IMMEDIATELY, the people in the industry who ARE genuine and at peace with themselves, the sterling people without anything to prove, comfortable in their skin, at ease with their place in life, no desire WHATSOEVER to show off their financial status... they're the sincere buddies who'll hang with you when the party's over and the lights and cameras are shut off!! PLEEEEEEEASE, give me Real, Grounded, Kind Hearted, 'Beautiful on the Inside' people any day of the week...people who want to talk for really great conversation and true friendship, NOT just for the sake of the people they think and hope you can hook them up to!!!
...AND GET REAL you pretentious wannabe freakoids!!!!!!!!!!

MY THEORY ON THE BEAUTY OF LIFE: Beauty of life is all there before us in a moment... a split second that can touch us and change everything forever. Sometimes you are sitting in a car and looking out of the window but by the time you say to your friend "Look!", it's already disappeared. I want to keep those moments forever, better still, I want to discover them and create them. It's the unexpected moments that are usually more beautiful for they hold a newer kind of beauty. It's like a rehearsal that ends up being a performance... the rehearsals are more often far more exciting for there is such an element of uncertainty
WHAT IS LIFE ABOUT IN KITTEN'S WORLD? Life should convey a certain kind of well being, of exuberance, sensuality, the enjoyment of a moment, collusion, intelligence, utter silliness and humour, a glimpse of who you really are deep within - not only the intellect and logic but enormous amounts of the BIG KID fun stuff! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

LIFE IS...
BE...
EACH DAY IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT...
BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT TOUCH ME..... The Beauty in a birdsong, or the one thousand different shades of pinks and reds in the perfect sunset, or the warmth of a hug when you most need it, (or know when one most needs to be given to someone you care for)... watching the oceans waves kiss the shore at sundown...Fairy lights...Angels that watch over us....Angels that live amongst us...Feeling that warm fuzzy feeling in your tummy when you look into the eyes of "The One" or just hear their voice. The beauty in the feeling of watching that great heart wrenching movie and crying your heart out. Or crying with laughter because something so stupid tickled you to the point of peeing your pants!!! Watching a grandpa with his grand child. Feeling sand between your toes, making shapes in the air with dazzlingly pretty sparklers, Watching snowfall... Swinging on a swing, or riding the merry-go-round...Taking a long walk in the crisp wintry frosts...Horseriding at sun up or sun down...That first light of day break... A loved one reaching for your hand...Spooning...Standing and dancing in the rain with your head tilted to the heavens, Swimming with Dolphins...Picnics in bed (soooo beautiful and soooo much fun)... Sitting in silence with someone you love and needing no words at all!
MY PHILOSOPHY ON LIFE:
Laugh...laugh really hard
Love...unconditionally
Dream... dream the wildest of dreams-make them your reality
Be Kind...to everyone, friends and strangers alike
Be Honest...never deceive, always act with integrity
Be Brave... do whatever it takes to pull through
Be Crazy and Silly...always
Be Beautiful... on the inside
Be Generous...with all that you have to give
Be Different...don't conform to what society says you should be
Be Genuine...fake and insincere are way too ugly!
Do Something Special... for yourself and someone else every day
***SPARKLE, SHINE, DAZZLE...EXPLORE, DREAM, DISCOVER...REACH OUT TO THE MOON AND STARS IN ALL THAT YOU DO....MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND BE THE CHANGE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!!***
