No Day Like Today

Fresh Start

I went to Trader Joe’s this week, and along with my salad mix, lentils, and sparkling water (I can hear my dad gagging right now), I also grabbed this delightful bunch of tulips to add a little color to my kitchen table.

Anyway, here we are 11 days into the new year and I’m just now starting to feel like I’m back into the rhythm of everyday life. So consider this your annual reminder that ‘fresh starts’ don’t only happen on January 1st. It’s not too late. You didn’t miss the boat.

Today is as good a day as any other to make a start over and get in the groove.

Love, 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!
