Week in the Life | April 2017

Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.  Jose Ortega y Gasset

I am joining Ali Edwards again this year for another Week in the Life project.

Week in the Life

You might recall that I did Week in the Life about a year an a half ago.  And I have to tell you that it’s one of my all-time favorite memory keeping projects.  I love how it helped to me to reconnect to my life in what was a somewhat challenging for me.

This time around, my goal is to document and celebrate the way life looks right now.  To tell the story of my life now with my girl living back in town.  To observe what life looks like through the lens of my word for the year::TEND.  To notice how and where I focus my attention and the ways in which I care for the people and things that are important to me.

As with any sort of photography/memory keeping project, my goal is always the same…

  • Stay connected
  • Be present
  • Celebrate the good
  • Acknowledge the struggle
  • Have a grateful heart in all of it.

As always, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me share it all 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!
