What I did yesterday.

What I did yesterday.
  • Ran 165 miles in 40 yard increments at exercise bootcamp.
  • Rested my tired butt and legs in a lounge chair by the pool.
  • Took 247 pictures of sparrows at the bird feeder.
  • Floated in the pool and drank mojitoes with my friend N.
  • Witnessed a downy woodpecker at my birdfeeder but scared it going for my camera to get a picture of it.
  • Listened to Kelsey’s account of her hypnotized friend imagining hot guys on the beach at the post-graduation, all-night lock-in.
  • Enjoyed a perfectly prepared steak at C & N’s house.
  • Slept like a rock.

Peace, 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!
