Written by Cathy Hale | October 24, 2018

That’s not enough water. We need more water. Look, water! Okay, we’ve got plenty of water.

ENOUGH WITH THE WATER!?!

As the Lake Travis area starts to deal with the aftermath of the historic flood, things look normal in some parts of the community, but other parts are still submerged. Flood victims are dealing with destroyed homes and businesses. Rain is in the forecast. Then the boil water notice happened. No matter where you turn, there’s water drama in Lake Travis.

That said, let’s have a little fun today. If you can’t laugh, you just keep crying …

Written by Cathy Hale | October 10, 2018

A lot is happening in Lakeway, and we know you want to get involved, so put your glossophobia aside and speak up.

Life Ki-do Martial Arts in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | October 3, 2018

If you think “martial arts” and picture slinging nunchucks as a lean, mean, ninja-like warrior, that’s true — and awesome! — but slightly misleading.

Martial arts is about more than strengthening the body; it’s about training the mind and building emotional well-being that will last a lifetime. That’s precisely what Life Ki-do Martial Arts has been offering families in the Lake Travis area since 2015.

Speaking from personal experience, giving your child the opportunity to learn martial arts can be a life-changing gift. My autistic son began studying martial arts in 2012, and the benefits he experienced were remarkable. Not only did he drastically improve his core strength, flexibility, balance and mind/body connection, but he developed inner strength and confidence that was amazing. Plus, he learned how to fight with swords and wooden staffs, which was incredible to watch.

Simply put, you could say martial arts was the “missing link” that brought everything together for my son. I had never done martial arts myself, so I didn’t know what was missing until I found it. If you’re on a similar quest for your child, Life Ki-do Martial Arts could be the key.

Plus, a uniquely inspired art studio is also opening its doors on Saturday night at Hill Country Galleria. Because studio spaces due “West of Weird” are cool.
