    Love your calligraphy and your image with the pen, such an art form in your writings.

    Very nice – love everything about it, the pen, inkwell, soft blurry background and the quote!

    Lovely post and beautiful images! Love your calligraphy – so beautiful. Interesting information in your post – I imagine that is why journalling is so powerful.

    Your calligraphy is picture perfect. I suppose all the practice really does make perfect. I just started to write lists. Just two weeks ago. It was part of a challenge, it’s so motivating. It’s helping me to remember too. And I’m a sworn, fly by night kind of gal, not list sort of person. I have to confess, it really is a good thing as it turns out.

    Beautiful texture on your photograph.

    I refuse to use any computerized note taking apps on my devices. I have a hard enough time remembering what it is that I want to write down, and then throw typing into the mix? I’m a goner! 😉

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!
