Katie Postel Photography Blog

As I sit and reflect on my week as my husband and kids sleep (and snore) next to me, I feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.

I didn’t complete ALL my goals, but I did make moves in a forward direction. So, I’m going to celebrate that! Being a mom of two little ones and freshly postpartum I feel like any small win is a big win. Sometimes just getting out of bed, taking a shower and wearing ‘normal’ clothes is a win. (I did all those things today by the way).

This week I challenged myself to:

1. Set a date to photograph 1 family (I’m doing this tomorrow)!
2. Upgrade my website to a .com…which I’ve ALMOST completed… I purchased the URL but now I’m trying to figure out how to transfer it. Like why am I so NOT tech savvy?
3. Make and order business cards. (These are designed and ready but waiting for the .com situation to be resolved).
4. Write another blog. (This is it)!
5. Post as much as I can.

I’m doing my due diligence but a lot of goals are like a snowball effect where one thing can only happen if the other thing comes first. So, it feels like baby steps. Honestly, that’s ok right now.

I’m learning a lot of these ‘skills’ for the first time and it’s hard. Especially with a 4-month-old needing me constantly. If he doesn’t need me then my 3-year-old does. If he doesn’t need me then food needs to get made, dishes need to be washed, I need to take a shower, and why do I always have to pee?

Anyways, I hope you can celebrate your progress toward your goals along with me. Any step forward is a win and an accomplishment. I’m getting one step closer toward my goals, and I hope I can inspire you to do the same.

It’s not always easy, but if it were, then everyone would be doing it.
