Checking In

Hey friends. I know it’s been a while, so I wanted to check in and say hello.

All is well in my neck of the woods. Spring is doing her thing and April is putting on a glorious show. My people are safe and healthy. And all of this feels like a great blessing right now.

Hoping that you are well and that you have everything you need.

Love, Kelly

    Life is crazy right now. Ups and downs and feeling like we are in a holding pattern. Love your instagram pics of the beauty of spring. They are a good reminder that better days are ahead. Take care!

    Kelly ! thanks so much for checking in.
    Amazingly challenging times, right.??
    I lost my Dad In February and then this. ….reeling.
    Lucky to work from home , but have 4 people around me (not directly in my family) on respirators. Every evening I take an hour plus long walk. Kelly this is keeping me going.
    Glad you, Tripp and you family are well.
    This will pass!
    Stay strong girl.
    Best,
    Susan

        I am just astonished at the beauty of these flowers. I live in the Texas panhandle. Do you think they would grow here?

    Thanks so much Kelly. We lost someone yesterday …a salt of the earth woman and Mom who was my sisters friend. I appreciate your prayers. I just keep Imagining Sonia basking in Gods light. She truly suffered. Be well my girl.

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!
