Catching Up to the New Year

Hello my friends! Happy New Year!

And yes, I know that I’m about a week and half late in my New Year greeting, but that’s pretty much been the case with just about everything else in my life lately, so I’m just going to go with it.

At any rate, all is well. Especially after having three blissfully quiet days at home to catch up. The Christmas decorations are put away, the house is back in order, and I was finally able to sweep up the metric ton of fake garland needles out of my living room rug. So that means I am finally starting to feel all the warm and fuzzy New Year sentiments like Fresh Start! New Beginnings! Clean Slate!

Catching up to the New Year

Looking forward to 2018, I have some ideas and plans that I’ll share more with you later. But for today, I just wanted to touch base and say Hi! And also, I wanted to remind you that if you’re not feeling all the feels for the New Year, it’s totally OK. That’s just how life is sometimes. But the good news is that every day of the year can be a new day.

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!
