GROW Story Kit™::Growing a New Story

I always thought I couldn’t grow ranunculus in my garden.

GROW Story Kit

I’m not sure why exactly. It’s not like anyone actually told me I couldn’t grow them.

Maybe it’s because I’ve only ever seen them growing in cooler, more temperate parts of the country…perhaps I assumed that it would be too hot and dry here in Oklahoma. Who knows. All I know is that I was wrong.

I can grow ranunculus.

Last fall I ordered a package of ranunculus bulbs from Floret and now this spring I have these delightfully lush and layered pastel blooms in my garden! And they are amazing!

So now I’m wondering, if I was so wrong about growing these flowers, what other things I might be wrong about? What other stories have I told myself about what I could do or where I could grow that simply aren’t true?

This was my mindset as I was working on a project using the GROW Story Kit™ from Ali Edwards. Giving myself permission to just play and have fun. Try something new.

I’m starting to think that just like with my ranunculus, sometimes all you have to do to grow something new in your life is just try.

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!
