April in All Its Glory

There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye; there is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by.

~William Cullen Bryant

I’ve often argued that April is the loveliest month of the year in my neck of the woods. May I submit to you the evidence:

In a world that can be so dark and ugly sometimes, I am so grateful for joy and beauty of spring.

Love, Kelly

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
