my sentiments exactly

hello my name is kelly and i am a quote junkie.

if the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,

if a blade of grass springing up in the field has the power to move you,

if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand,

rejoice, for your soul is alive.  ~elenora duse

i stumbled across this quote via another okie gal i follow on instagram.  and it pretty much sums up how i feel about spring…coming alive.

love, kelly

    Using quotes is so fun…they speak what our hearts feel, so many times. Blue skies are one of my favorite things in nature, along with singing birds in flowering trees. So pretty!!

    The softness of this shot is really lovely. I’m a quote junkie too. Do you think there’s a recovery program for that? Said no quote junkie EVER! 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend.

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!
