There is a reason

Welcome, thank you for stopping in. I was thinking today about some of the philosophies I live my life by, hence the name of my blog, but first let me introduce myself.

I call myself Kelly Ann and I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The OBX is a beautiful place on the edge of no where. Better described, more or less, as a quaint fishing village for the city folk who want a mix of art, food, fish and fun on island time and close to their actual homes. I call it paradise, viewed through optomistic eyes, knowing this place gets crazy in the summer and sheer boredom in the winter. But, there is a reason...

I have always believed everything happens for a reason and nothing is a mistake. There is a reason I moved from San Diego to the OBX, a reason why I met my boyfriend of several years here, a reason I married 3 times and had 3 kids and so on and so forth. I must say though, there is a reason for this blog. There is something spiritual about cleansing our souls of life in general, whether we use art, music or words the need to express our wounds is evident in all we do.

We all have a reason to exist. We all have a message to send and I hope this blog will be an outlet for all to voice or share opinions and reasons that in some way will impact others positively. I hope this blog will create a faithful community where relationships can be born and grow out of ideas.

A point to ponder: Store bought or handmade at Christmas?
I feel consumerism has overshadowed the true meaning of Christmas and that a handmade gift is a direct reflection of the heart.
