Down by the River

It’s been an intense week.

Earlier in the week we had several rounds of severe weather with tornadoes in the area. And equally concerning now is the historic, dangerous flooding happening all along the Arkansas River including the city of Tulsa. I live about a half of a mile from the river (on much higher ground), but I have several friends that live downstream and they are watching and waiting to see if they have to evacuate.

By nature, Okies are hardy folks. We’ve weathered a lot of storms (both literal and figurative), but right now the good people of Oklahoma could use all the prayers and/or good vibes that you could send this way.

Love, Kelly

    We are experiencing the same here in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Our house is safe but so many are not. We are all praying for Oklahoma too.

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!
