Have you ever woken up in the morning and felt more tired than you were the night before? You hoped that you would enter the next day refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes your way. Instead, you feel your battery is careening towards 0%, and you have no idea how to slow it…

25 Lessons
I know that twenty-five years isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things, but I’ve always loved celebrating milestone moments. I’m so thankful for everything that I’ve learned and experienced in these past years; I know that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without everything that happened in them. Here’s to…
Once Upon a Time…
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who dreamed of being a princess. She thought long and hard about what dresses she’d wear, what her castle would look like, and what kind of ruler she’d be. She had everything planned out and written down because she had been told to be prepared for…
Time to Redefine
I have loved horses for as long as I can remember. My first word was probably "horse." I had horse shirts, movies, books, and a room that was saturated with every possible horse knick-knack. My friends in school called me "Horse Katie." If there was an option to choose topics for school projects, I wanted…
Created on Purpose
Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why God created you the way that He did? Or maybe you see someone on the street and wonder why you can’t have the same things as them. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparison that the enemy sets up for us. When…

I’m what you would call a wannabe-green thumb. I love plants, I have several throughout my house, and I’ll always adopt a couple more when I see them in stores. The only thing is that I struggle to keep them alive. When you come over, you’ll see plants happily growing in cute pots, but what…
The Butterfly Effect
The other day I was at the zoo with my family, and we visited one of my favourite places…the butterfly house. Now compared to lions or giraffes, butterflies probably seem pretty dull. But I love them because they’re like little pieces of artwork just flying around. Whenever I see them during my day, they always…
Very Good
For most of my life, I couldn’t remember a time when I didn’t feel like an imposter in my own body. I remember growing up and looking at the women in movies or on magazine covers, even my fellow classmates, and feeling like I was missing something. I was never skinny like them, I didn’t…
Found in Christ
Imagine for a moment that you’re at a big gathering of people from all over. Maybe it’s a work conference, a family reunion, or a wedding. Whatever it is, you don’t know anyone there, so you will have to introduce yourself to every person you meet. So, what do you say when you shake hands…
Put Your Suitcases Down
People always say to learn from the past, but sometimes the past is too painful to look at. We all have things that we’ve done that we’re not proud of, and we’ve all been through things that we wish hadn’t happened. There are times that these mistakes and circumstances can loom over us like a…
