thank you august

August 23, 2015-9

there’s so much i’d like to share with you.  but for today, i just wanted to touch base and say hi.  i hope that you have a lovely august.  for me, this little blog break was about the best thing i could have done for my physical mind and body.  but also for my creative spirit.

and so for peaches and watermelons and cantaloupes.  for morning light and summer flowers.  for trips to the farmers market and friday night fro-yo.  for new cocktails and gold glitter.  for snail mail.  for sleep.  for rest and connection.  for late summer rain and golden hour walks.  for all of those things and dozens of other little things that have touched my heart.

thank you august.

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!
