A Season

to everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under the sun. a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. ecclesiastes 3:1-8

« Road Trip | Main | Hello November »

Unbreakable

"When the dust settles.

And you can finally look in the mirror.

At the woman. Who survived through it all.

Through the failures. Through the flaws. You'll realize.

That even as fragile as you are.

You're still unbreakable."

I don't know who wrote the beautiful message above, but I loved it when I saw it on Instagram. It went straight to my soul. As a woman, and as a human being, of course I could relate. Been there. Done that. And have lived to know. I am sure that I will fail again and again. And flaws? Hello! I am so very flawed. But I am finally at a point where I am able to forgive myself for my trespasses against others and myself - if that makes sense! Why are we always so hard on ourselves? I don't know, but we are. And it needs to stop, don't you think? We have to love ourselves ENOUGH to move on... to move on in life and to have joy. Life can be so hard and that is not a cliche but a fact. None of us escape that reality. And I know that some of you are battling heartbreaking, gut wrenching things and it is all that you can do to hold on. But you are ~ hopefully and prayerfully, because life - though, yes often very very hard - is absolutely PRECIOUS. Please hold on to that fact too - hold on to the promise of a new day, a new way, a new reason to breathe with every depth of your being. I pray that peace wraps its gentle presence around you in your fragility and in your strength and that you always know that you are not alone. Hope beats in our heart. Love flows through our veins......

Amen and Amen again.

All my love,

Kim

To my angel on earth, I love you so. And how do you manage to get to the very heart of the person reading your message? I will send the girls over to read this, and Yes, life can be so hard sometimes, but so wonderful too. Thank you for this gentle reminder Kim. And I loved seeing your sweet face today. :)

We are all of us flawed. I guess there is a sort of beauty in the fact that no one is perfect.

OMGOSH- I am new to your blog (like a day or so). I think I needed to be here and read this tonight. I am such an upbeat, positive person but there are times when I wonder how far I can bend in this life without breaking. What a peaceful, love-filled message you offered here today. Thank you- xo Diana

ps. YOU are a beautiful lady-- inside AND out!

My strength is not going to get me very far...His strength...that's what I am counting on. Love you, Dear Kim. Wish we could chat over a cup of coffee and something delicious. You have made us all so very welcome in your world and shared your heart. It is no small thing and I thank you.

Posted by: Vee | 10/27/2016 at 09:55 PM

Amen sister.

Posted by: Stacey | 10/27/2016 at 10:51 PM

Thank you, Kim! I needed that today. I also agree that we are so hard on ourselves. I know I am. I'm taking a mindfulness course right now, and it emphasizes being gentle with ourselves. I'm working on that, and I hope you can be gentle with yourself too. :-)

Have a beautiful weekend.

~Jess

Thank you Kim for sharing your heart! It is just what my soul needed to hear this morning!
Love from Texas,

I can't believe I just read this post at this time! My adult daughter who has two daughters of her own now and living on her own with her husband said that to me last week while we were visiting them. Her exact words "Mom you are so hard on yourself, why are you so hard on yourself." It stopped me cold because I know that about myself but I don't think I've ever verbalized it let alone hear it from someone close to me....I want to change this about myself and know I have a lot of work to do to get there.
Thanks for sharing Kim

Posted by: jen | 10/30/2016 at 03:32 PM

Thank you, Kim.

Posted by: G from GA | 10/31/2016 at 09:31 AM

Thanks! I think a lot of us needed this encouragement today!

Posted by: Beth K. | 10/31/2016 at 08:37 PM

I used to give myself heck. Age mellows that flaw. I really admire what you contribute to this world Kim. I relax completely when I read what you have to say and the amazing photography you share here.I hope you enjoy November with your sweet family. Love you, Nancy M.
