Gardening, Grace and Gratitude

Gardening is an instrument of Grace.

May Sarton

I have been gardening for the better part of my adult life and it has been a source of immense happiness over the years. This year though…well to be honest, I can’t ever recall a time when I have NEEDED gardening so much – Body, Mind, and Spirit.

My garden is the place I go to get out of my head and to work with my hands, and being on my knees is where I do some of my best soul work. So as the season winds down here in my neck of the woods, I thought I would take this opportunity to celebrate these delightful blooms that have graced my garden and my kitchen table all season long.

Gardening, Grace and Gratitude

I am feeling so very grateful for this little piece of earth for the way it teaches me so much about life and Grace. As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me share it with you.

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!
