Hi, I’m Kelly.  I’m navigating through motherhood with three little girls.  Constantly trying to readjust my eyes on what matters instead of what the busyness of the world throws at me and tells me what should matter.  And what matters to me is my husband; my marriage and that it has guts long after we have kids to capitalize all of our energy and conversation. Being present with my daughters every day and making them feel known and cherished.  Jesus.  Deep friendships when the surface stuff fades without trying.  Authenticity.  Connection.  Laughter.  The mountains.  And making sure my firstborn child-dog knows I haven’t forgotten about him.

And to keep these cherished things from slipping through the cracks of life is a struggle that I know I’m not alone in.  Recording my thoughts and experiences, writing…it’s what helps me most in my quest to stay mindful.  When I don’t write, my swimming thoughts and internalizing mind gets too cluttered to see the light on the darker days.  Too busy to create space to honor and process the hard moments.  Writing pushes my pause button.  And pushing pause keeps me from the natural pull of living in auto-pilot, very well making me miss the beautiful, small moments and blessings that are creating my big life as I speak.  These small moments are what make up the big.  And the big moments shape my attitude about the small ones.  I don’t want to miss them.
