envision – june edition

i’ve been dipping my toe back into the creatively rich waters of pinterest.

Capture

for a while there i took a break.  sometimes when i’m not in a good creative space or feeling overwhelmed, pinterest can sometimes feel like more pressure.  make me feel like the biggest slacker on the face of the earth.  invite unhealthy comparison.

but here lately, since i’ve kinda got my second wind, i like the visual inspiration.  the color. the creative fuel.

so i put together a little vision board for myself.  just a way to visually represent where i might like explore in my creative life.  and i’ve created five basic categories – keeping it simple with areas of my life where i spend most of my time (photography, home, crafts/food, blogging) and then one for just the pure joy of it (delight).

envision---june-14

clockwise from top right:  ponder, delight, make, dwell, capture

i hope you’re have a lovely, colorful, inspired weekend.  happy saturday!

love, kelly

    Beautiful! It’s wonderful that Pinterest is such an inspiration to you, and many others, I know. I found it sucked too much oxygen for little gain. You can enjoy it for both of us. xo

    Pinterest is my “go to” for inspiration, escape from the moment, and just enjoy the beauty. I spend hours in there…to me it’s like a magazine with endless pages. You are disciplined to have a few category boards. Enjoy the inspiration Kelly!

    I quit using Pinterest as a place for projects to do or recipes to try…never did any of them. I’m now using it for inspiration, mostly for my photography. I love to look at color combinations and how things are set up. Happy pinning!

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!
