‘Tis the Season to Be Grateful

I know for a lot of folks, today is the day to switch gears. Now that Halloween has passed, it’s going to be all things Christmas. Take down the pumpkins and put up the tinsel! And there’s nothing wrong with that I suppose…I just think it’s a shame to skip over this special month.

I need the month of November.

I need the month of November to reenergize my practice of gratitude. To reconnect with that place in my heart that is attuned to the beauty and blessings in my life. To remember the joy and peace that come from the practice of paying of attention.

It’s so funny you guys…I have to laugh at myself here, because I was going to share a list of some of my favorite gratitude posts. But then when I went back to look, I realized that I wrote almost this exact same blog post last year.

<<shaking my head>>

At any rate, I guess it’s safe to say that I love the month of November and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to share it with you.

Love, Kelly

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!
