wide awake

i know you guys have heard me say this a million times, but it’s something that never ceases to amaze me.

photography changed my life.  

i see things differently now.  and i’m sharing a little bit about my love of photography with my friends at focusing on life today. i  but it really boils down to this…

my eyes are open to the beauty and magic in my ordinary life.  i am wide awake.

    When I first saw the title on FOL, I was afraid you were having insomnia. This is much, much better! Lovely photo and word art, too, Kelly. xo

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!
