A Word from Kayla

It's Okay Not to Have IT Together All the Time

For all that need to hear...

Life is BUSY and we're entering a season that it's 90 to nothing. I'm here to tell you that if you
don't have it all together, you're not alone.

What can we do to push through?

Prioritize, you may have to put some stuff off, so be it. Most importantly, make time for yourself
and your family. Fulfill your commitments and maybe reduce what you take on in the future. I
said it... Quantity is not always quality. If you think packing in one more activity to an already
busy schedule is going to get you that scholarship or acceptance letter, you're approaching it
the wrong way. I'd rather see 4-H'ers do a few things really well than a lot of things half
heartedly.

From watching you all grow up, I've come to realize that time is so precious. There's a voice
over that catches me in my throat every time I come across it on Instagram. It's the one that
says "you have little kids for four years. And if you miss it - it's done." It's not just the four
years that are important though, it's all of them.

Don't busy your life for others so much that you end up

missing your own.
