Hi, I’m Katelen (or Katie)! Simply Brightly Always is my personal space to share my life’s journey — including the messy moments, the magical experiences, and everything in between. I am a big believer in growth, creativity, and adding a little sunshine wherever I can. My partner, our sweet Chihuahua Gigi, and I are preparing for a big move to Portugal, and I’ll be sharing our adventures along the way. When I’m not planning the next chapter, you’ll find me exploring a diverse range of hobbies, holistic practices, traveling, and engaging in spiritual pursuits. This blog is where I bring it all together — stories, reflections, and snapshots of a life that’s constantly unfolding. Thank you for being a part of my journey. I hope you find a little inspiration, connection, or simply a bright moment here.
