To say that this week didn’t exactly go as planned would be an understatement. While there were multiple unfortunate circumstances that arose, one of the ones that affected me the most was finding out that I can no longer leave for Germany when I had planned. Let me explain… Back at the end of June [...]
Lately I've been learning how to be gentle with myself. It's super easy to set unrealistic goals for this time in my life based on past seasons, and trying the achieve these goals leaves me anxious and disappointed.
In the past I've read 5 books a month, but this month I've struggled to read one. In the past I've worked out multiple times a week, but this month I've barely done it at all. In the past I had a higher capacity, and right now it's a but smaller.
Not every season looks the same, and trying to force ourselves to function at our highest capacity all the time is unfair to ourselves. Be kind with where you're at right now, soak this season in, and recognize when you're able to add more. But until then don't force yourself to do things and then beat yourself up when you can't accomplish everything. Be kind, be gentle, be patient ❤

Hometown rodeos are the best rodeos 🤠 Who else is stoked for rodeo season?! #simplykatherina #horsesofinstagram #rodeo #rodeoseason #explorealberta
Whether it’s a season of growth or waiting, singleness or partnership, listening or acting, live it well. God has not put you in this time and place for you to sit around wishing that you were at another stage in life; he has given you this season as a gift. Sometimes we may not want to receive it, and we may beg God to change our circumstances, to bring us out of the valleys and onto the mountain tops, but when we’re so focused on the places we aren’t, we miss the beauty of the places that we are currently in. I’m not saying that you’ll enjoy every season that you’re in; what I’m saying is that God hasn’t put you where you are to be mean. We need to steward our seasons well, whatever those seasons may be. ☀️☃️🌊🍁 #simplykatherina #speaklife #givelife #christianliving #blogger #bloggersofinstagram #godisgood #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #wasteyourtimewell #enjoylife #worthy #selflove #naturalwellness #christianblogger #christianwriter #dreamjob #explorealberta #seasons
This little beauty was a life saver the other night! We wanted to have a nice little fire in our backyard and suddenly every mosquito in the area decided to join us 🙈
Thankfully the smoke + citronella kept us mostly bug bite free for the night! And this little gem has earned its spot in my bag this summer.

Don't forget to hug the people (and animals) you love today! ❤ (Also yes, I did get two pairs of overalls that I now live in 24/7, thanks for noticing 👩🌾)
