expect hope

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again. ~Sarah Ban Breathnach

    Oh, Kelly! I don’t know which I like more … the quote or the photo. Nicely done. (I’ve added the quote to my quote collection.)

    Gorgeous image! The dogwood blooms around me are just to high for me to get any good shots. I’d need a ladder and If I did that, I’d probably fall off trying to get the perfect shot. I’ll just have to enjoy yours! Love the quote!

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!
