christmas joy

i’m finding christmas joy everywhere these days…whether it’s in a big ‘ol mess  (you can read about that over at focusing on life today) or bright red holly berries.

    Sometimes in the Christmas rush, it’s hard to find joy….but when we succeed in slowing down, the joy we find is spectacular! This is such a lovely shot.

    Can’t believe Christmas is next week, but yes, so far I’ve had a relaxing lead up to the holiday. We’ll see what next Monday brings though as I probably start to stress out over things not done, but I’m refusing to do that. Merry Christmas and 2014 ahead. 🙂 Love the photo…very nice.

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!
