the story of the weekend, epilogue

FOL_366 days in the life_003

it might not seem like a big deal, but for those two days that my dad was in ICU, i didn’t pick up my camera.  instead i turned to my faith and to the sky for comfort.

today at focusing on life, i’m reflecting on my photography and letting myself off the hook.

happy tuesday friends!

    Hey Kelly – sounds like your Dad had quite a round. Will send a prayer or two from our end here. He’s a tough cookie – will get through it. Tell your Mom I’m thinking of her. You guys hang in.
    Cousin Mike

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!
