I’ve had a few different blogs over the last 10 or so years. Nothing that was ever anything more than it is now. I would write and then hit a season of busy and it would fall to the wayside.

When we moved back to AZ 2 years ago, Transplanting Back Home seemed perfect! But then I began to realize I have more to say than just moving and making an old home, new. I decided to get rid of transplantingbackhome.com and after a lot of thought I’ve just gone with katymordka.com

I know…super creative, right? Haha! I just couldn’t come up with anything that was available that also wasn’t super specific, so here we are.

I will probably do a little “remodeling” (which means the banner will probably change) but nothing major. It will still be me writing my thoughts about whatever…the good, the bad, and the ugly. The goal (which really, has always been the same) is to write more than once a month.

I saw the movie Unstoppable the other day. It is a documentary about Bethany Hamilton. I know you’ve heard of her but if it doesn’t come back quickly, she was the girl who was attacked by a Tiger Shark while surfing off of Tunnels Beach in Kauai. (Side note, we snorkeled there this summer! With turtles!) She lost her left arm in the attack abut didn’t let it define her or slow her down. She adapted and surfed again and is one of the most amazing people. One of my take aways was how she set a goal and was so laser focused on it. I do not have that gift. I let a lot of things get in the way of my goals (to the point that I stopped setting them long ago). I let sleep deprivation and laziness and the needs of everyone else get in the way. So, this (school) year…I’m going to be more intentional. Setting goals that are challenging but attainable. Writing more is one of them.

So, please start praying for me because it will take everything I’ve got to meet the goals I set! I’m kidding…no, I’m not. Pray for me. (But let’s not get crazy, kids are still home so goal setting/achieving goes into full affect when school starts again.)

Talk soon, friends!
