we spent thanksgiving weekend at the lake this year…a wonderful weekend spent with the people we love most.  not even the cold rain could dampen our spirits.

i went into the weekend with the intention of gratitude, of course.  but also wanting to be really present with my loved ones.  to really savor our time together with no expectation or big agenda.  to press the pause button in a way.

it was exactly what i needed.

this is the intention i hope to carry with my into december and christmas.  given my nature to try to squeeze too much into too short amount of time, i’m sure that it will be a challenge.  but i’m going to keep trying…because i know that it’s worth it.

thank you november.

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!
