On turning 38.
(I’ve always loved this piece. Signed/matted prints are available right here) I turn 38 years young tomorrow. 38! Been thinking so much about all the events that lead to here, how it all feels like a beautiful orchestra with resounding celebratory highs,...![Embrace the Chaos](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/30094650/embrace-the-chaos-72dpi-copy.jpg)
Embrace the Chaos
Signed/matted prints available here. Life and biz are moving full steam ahead these days.

brave in brokenness.
Like so many of you, I have been deeply affected by what happened in Newtown, CT. I’ve been quiet over here, feeling incredibly tender. Without words. Life has paused. I have also been avoiding quiet time in the bath. I’ve had the radio on in the car, in...![closet clean out + other tales of unraveling](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/30094355/8129187839_7080920583_z.jpg)
closet clean out + other tales of unraveling
(a view into my closet post-clean out) I can feel now how all this work to stay open and tender brings on a sense of fierce grace + fearlessness.

my parents went back home yesterday – mom was here 10 days, greggie was here 5. it wasn’t a planned visit, but after arriving home from the hospital and realizing we’d need the help after gina left, john and i put out and SOS call and mom hopped on a...![on nine years.](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/30093749/4950414184_cccfdfeef4.jpg)

taken with the iphone while stuck in a bit of afternoon traffic. we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary today. we are 35 + 36 years old and today was our last anniversary as just the two of us – we wanted to make it special. and so we did. we took the whole...![on pregnancy panic and reclaiming energized hope](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/30093748/4932074665_25267f54cc_o.jpg)

i’ve been chuckling about my craziness lately and wanted to give you a glimpse into my life these days. it goes something like this: 7 – 8am: wake up, shower (if i’m lucky) and head straight to annie’s donuts for a chocolate glazed donut...![my current truth.](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/30093736/4751223924_064bc5c61a.jpg)
