Texture Tuesday–Wise Words

It’s that day of the week!

kk_ttbutton

So I have to tell you…for me this year, spring has just been so wonderful.  We’ve been so fortunate to have nice rain showers so the flowers have just been spectacular.  But it’s not just that.  I don’t know if it’s photography, or where I am in my life, or maybe I’m just paying closer attention.  Whatever it is, I just feel such a renewed sense of joy and hopefulness.

So for new life, for redemption, for little adventures and big love.  For hope and for joy…

Thank you April.

Love, Kelly

    Kelly, this is a beautiful image and the quote is wonderful. I also just read the dryer sheet story and I’m still smiling. Too funny!

    You’re so right, Kelly. Spring is intoxicating! Each day I get up ready to hit the road … unlike winter … when I have to drag my sorry you-know-what out of bed. Beautiful white blossoms! I’ve got lots of pink everywhere but no fluffy white like these.

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!
