Kathryn’s Reflections of Gratitude on Veterans Day

Several years ago, my husband and I started a tradition of visiting Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery on our regular trips to San Diego. We found that this was a good way to put life into perspective and to honor the many lives sacrificed for our country. We enjoy so many freedoms, liberties, and rights, that others around the world do not, but it’s easy to be cynical and take them for granted. Walking around Fort Rosecrans, you find markers of those who served in wars past, but on recent trips, it’s been the newer grave markers that demand our attention.

VIDEO: Kathryn Finds Strength in Community

Over the years, I’ve met some truly incredible and inspiring women. Quite a few of them have flown in and then out of my life. We were there for each other when we needed it the most, but life happens, so naturally we both went our own ways. I appreciate those friendships, and just because they were short-lived doesn’t mean they weren’t immensely valuable.

On the other hand, there are a few people who’ve stuck with me for many, many years. Kathryn is one of those women, and when she says, “Life is messy,” she isn’t joking! From backpacking around Asia, to hiking ruins in Mexico, to crashing parties and jumping in pools fully clothed, to being mommies and changing dirty diapers, we’ve experienced many fun chapters in life. And I’m so grateful for this amazing friendship that has witnessed the best of times and has also weathered some storms. Life is about evolving as individuals, while evolving simultaneously within our relationships. We often worry about taking everything on as individuals, but we are so much stronger when we have a community of like-minded people.

MB Collective: Celebrating Women’s History Month

As you might have guessed from this post’s title, March is Women’s History Month! Too often the lives of women in history go unsung and unnoticed. However, if we dig deeper, we’ll find incredible women with stories of bravery, innovation, ambition, and heroism.

I thought this month of recognition would be the perfect opportunity for a few special guests and the Behaviorists to share a little bit more about the women in history who’ve inspired us as individuals. From political leaders to pop stars to investigative journalists, the list of women below is as diverse and inspiring as the women who’ve contributed to it.

At Model Behaviors, we focus on women who strive to balance it all while prioritizing what is most important to us as individuals. For this Father’s Day, we want to take a minute to thank all the outstanding men who have supported us along the way. Specifically, we’d like to thank all the devoted dads.
