blogging…a paradox

 

paradox:

an argument that apparently derives self-contradictory conclusions by valid deduction from acceptable premises

i know… huh??

here i’ll use it in a sentence…

i enjoy my life and i love sharing it on my blog, but the act of blogging about my good life is making me tired and causing me not to enjoy my life right now.

or in plain english…i am tired.  and i just need a little break.

all is well and life is good…(dear mom…i promise…don’t worry).  i just need a little downtime. 

see you soon.  love, kelly

    I decided a couple days ago to do the same. As soon as I reached the decision, I felt lighter and happier, so I know it’s the right one. Peace and rest to you!

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!
