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.

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!

I’ve been thinking a lot about this time last year. Before the words Corona Virus or COVID19 were a regular part of my vocabulary. Before toilet paper became a hot commodity. Before it became a habit to check my purse to make sure I have my mask. Before it was second nature to take take three steps back from the person standing next to me. These are not the “new normal” anymore. Their just plain-old normal. And that hurts my heart in a million little ways. Even still, there are a few changes in the past year that I am really happy about. Things like the feeling of gratitude every time I see my family. The personal growth I have experienced from learning how to feel my feelings a little better. Doubling-down on finding little joys and moments of magic in my everyday life. I am looking forward to the day when life gets back to “normal”. My hope is that I can do so without losing the big lessons this past year has taught me.$
