around here i am in utter disbelief that we are at the end of january.

dear 2016…we talked about this…

around here we enjoyed a mostly sunny week.  which means that if you were looking for me between the hours of 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., you would have found me outside with my camera facing west.

around here, i am grateful for the longer days.  grateful for golden, evening light.

around here, i’m not the only one who is on the lookout for sunny spots in the house.

around here, i have relished time spent with friends this week.

around here i am grateful for the mood-boosting, head-clearwing, perspective-giving wonder drug that is running.

around here i am thankful for bright, sunny mornings and robins, cardinals, and bluejays (oh my!)

around here i feel like i’m back in the groove.  finding my rhythm.  staying afloat.  striving less, enjoying more.

around here i am thankful this tiny corner of the interwebs where i can come to sort things out.  and as always….so, so thankful for letting me share it with you.

happy friday friends!!

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!
