This year has been one that dreams are made of…ok so maybe I’m being a little dramatic but it’s true. This year has been pretty darn amazing and it has set the bar really high for 2017!
Why was this year so amazing…I achieved one of my biggest dreams and became a mom. I struggled for years to become a mom and went through a lot, both physically and emotionally, on my journey to motherhood. Looking back over the past few years though, I wouldn’t change my journey in any way. It has shaped me to be the mom and woman I was meant to be and have become. It has made me more compassionate to others who are struggling with their own fertility journeys and has taught me to cherish every minute I get with my little man / family. I hope that anyone who is going through their own fertility journey knows they are not alone and that regardless of the outcome your life will still be beautiful.
I love how through Instagram you can see my top posts and it re-iterates how blessed this past year has been by showing numerous images of my little man in my most popular posts of 2016. (I also find it a little humorous that there appears to be a little Bears vs Packers rivalry going on.) 2016 has been a year all about “FAMILY”…starting my family, loving my family, spending time with my family, and growing my family. So what does 2017 have in store for me this year?
I hope to focus on my “HEALTH”. Becoming a HEALTHier version of my current self, finding a HEALTHy balance between family and business, strengthening my spiritual HEALTH, and growing my photography business into a HEALTHy business.
- Physical Health – Since I am no longer pregnant or trying to become pregnant I can get back into my love of running! I had to take a little hiatus during my fertility journey and I’m ready to lace back up my running shoes and seeing where my feet take me.
- Family Health – Being a mom means learning how to balance numerous responsibilities instantaneously! I’ve always been someone who never says “no” and never takes time for herself…and this year I plan to find a good balance between work time and family time.
- Spiritual Health – God has really showed me how amazing he is with creating the perfect little baby for my family that I can’t help but want to grow in my relationship with him!
- Business Health – I can’t wait to share with you all the fun things I have planned for 2017 and for Kate Fredrick Photography! I want my business to be one that blesses families with memories that will last a lifetime because I truly have learned and understand how precious new babies are to a family!
I hope you will join me on my journey and come along for the ride in 2017!
What do you want to achieve in 2017?
