Grateful.

GoodMorningWorld! :)  I haven't made a blog in a LONG time. School and work has kept me extremly busy & I'm trying to balance it all :( BUT The morning message I have for everyone today is  to be grateful for what you have. Everyday God wakes you up with a roof over your head, food in the fridge and clothes on your back. I'm not saying that times won't get rough but we do live in a first world country. With many resources and assistance for those in need. There are many people who did not open their eyes this morning, but YOU did! Live everyday to the fullest with no regrets. You may not have all the money in the world, the fanciest car, the most expensive purse or the biggest house but you are alive, healthy & breathing.. Be thankful for that. I have a challange for everyone today, try not complaining about ANYTHING for 24 hours. Nothing! Not your boss who's pissing you off or the bus thats running late. Just be thankful for what you have, be happy & smile! I Promise it won't hurt. :) #BeThankful #KateeWithLove #WelcomeToKateLand

Risk Taker

Good Morning World! School has kept me very busy so I wasn't able to write a blog last week. But today I'm going to speak on taking risks. Everyone is afraid of something & to some people that something is taking risks. Taking risks is essential if you want to become successful. No one that has left a mark on the world was afraid to take risks. Most people are scared of failure or of what others would say. What those people have to learn is that everyone will fail at least once in their life and that other peoples opinions do NOT define them. Albert Einstein  was told he was "mentally handicapped",  Walt Disney was told he "lacked imagination" and the very successful Oprah Winfrey was told that she would never make it on Television. All these people did not listen to the opinion of others. They woke up each morning with a dream & WENT FOR IT! I hope all of you do as well! Have a GREAT day everyone! #RiseAndGrind #KeepDreaming #KateeWithLove #WelcomeToKateLand

Open For Business!

Good Morning World! Today is a beautiful Friday morning. You have made it through another week. #TGIF. Today I will be discussing how having an open mind is an essential tool in life. People these days are so set in their ways & opinions, they aren't open to try new things. Don't get me wrong, having your opinions & values is great. But shooting down other peoples opinions because you believe you are always right isn't cool. If you open your mind you will see the world in a different perspective. So today I would love everyone to try something new today. Listen to a new genre of music, research a religion that you've always had questions about, talk to someone that you usually wouldn't talk to. Just try something NEW & DIFFERENT. Step out of your comfort zone for a bit, I promise it won't hurt ;)  #SomeFoodForThought #OpenMind #TrySomethingNew #KateeWithLove #WelcomeToKateLand

Past x Present x Future

Good Afternoon World! Today is Sunday, You're alive & healthy. #GodBless. It's the last day of August, meaning SCHOOLS BACK! Kids worldwide are either super excited or dreading the first day of school. When I was a kid I was always excited for school. New clothes, new backback & lunchbag , new hairstyle and of course A NEW YEAR. I always promised myself to do the best I could, to always push myself because my mother ain't raise no fool! Lol! But as soon as I got into high school, I knew that what I do here affects my life in the future. My dream since I was in Junior Kindergarten was to be a dentist. I knew it was hard work but I was willing to do whatever it takes. My dream continued into middle school & straight into highschool. In my senior year when it was time to apply for college , I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I applied for dental school knowing it was tough & a very competitive field but had faith in GOD & myself. I got accepted into every program I applied for which really made my mom proud. When My first year of college rolled around it was great, the experience and the people. But it just wasnt for me so I made the heartbreaking choice to drop out. Of course my parents were angry and dissapointed but I had to reassure them not to worry cause I GOT THIS. Lol! I took some time off to work, save up and really decide what I wanted to do. With some time to think & reflect I remembered what one of my favourite teachers once told me. Her name was Mrs.VonEppinghoven & she had a huge affect on me and my life. She always told me I would be great on TV or in the media. So I looked into positions and careers in the television field. I enventually found & applied for programs at a few different colleges. With the great work of God & myself I got accepted into every program. Broadcast for Television & Videography and Jouralism for Print & Broadcast were the two I was most proud of. I ended up choosing Broadcast for Television & Videography. The field I was in is completely the opposite of what I'm doing now, but I've learned that it doesnt matter what has happened in the past. You have a whole new 24 hours each day. You can either use it to the best of your ability, go out there & reach your goals. OR you can let your past affect you. With ambition, hard work, preserverance, patience & the help of God, you can accomplish ANYTHING you want. No matter how big or small. So going into September tomorrow, always remember that your past mistakes don't define you, it's what you do with your future! Have a great Sunday everyone! #SpreadLove #KateeWithLove #WelcomeToKateLand 

BeYOUtiful.

Good Morning World! #TGIF ! Thank God that you made it through another week. Today I want to discuss the importance of not only feeling beautiful on the outside but BEING beautiful on the inside as well. In this generation, the media has brainwashed us as women to have this ideal "look" of what beautiful is. Flawless skin, long hair, straight nose, pearly white teeth, makeup done to perfection, big boobs, small waist, flat stomach & of course a BIG BOOTY! This.. Is unrealistic but yet women still try to push for this image of "perfection". Sure you can pay for a nose job, a tummy tuck & a fake bum, but what does that get you..? A man that only sees one dimension to you? A sexy girl who wears almost nothing to generate attention from men? 

Does he love you for your MIND, your personality & your passion? Chances are, no.. If you want someone to spend the rest of your life with, you must look past all the physical attributes because beauty Fades... If a man doesnt love you for your character, intelligence, humor, kindess.. Then he doesnt love you for YOU. Young Women have to gain some respect for themselves if they ever want a man to respect them! Have a great friday everyone!  #SomeFoodForThought #RespectYourselvesLadies #KateeWithLove #GoodVibes #WelcomeToKateLand

Mind Control.

Good Afternoon World! The birds are chirping & the sun is shining! You have made it to another day! #ThankGod! Today I want to speak on controlling your mind. Your brain is the most hard working organ in your body, it works 24/7 controlling everything you do & everything you think.  With all the problems and issues of today, I think that it's very easy to let our minds run wild and start overthinking. We can ruin a good day JUST by overthinking or being negative. What you put in your mind will become your reality. If you want to live a happy, loving life you must first love yourself and tell yourself "No matter what happens today, I choose to be HAPPY!" Things wont always go your way, you might trip and fall on your way to success but if you have a strong mind, anything is possible. If you learn to control your thoughts and emotions then you can control how things affect you. If you learn to see the positive side to everything then you will never have to complain about anything.

Life is what YOU make it. You could let things get to you & become either sad or angry or you could learn what it has taught you, grow from it and move on. As the Famous Buddha once said.. "Rule Your Mind, Or It Will Rule You.." This is the truth!  Have a positive & productive day everyone! :) #SpreadLove #GoodVibes #KateeWithLove #WelcomeToKateLand
