trainwreck
I received a recent email from a dear friend that was signed, “I’m a trainwreck. And I love life.” Sigh. I can so relate. Lately, the days have been long, filled with lots of life practice: courage, boundary setting, gratitude. Sometimes we lose our...![soul renovation](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/30094351/8170556500_678766fc88_z.jpg)
soul renovation
This is a season of transformation, both outside, and inside – inside our home and inside our souls. Big, beauty-full transformations all around. As I rearrange furniture, move rooms around in our home, and finish some big remodeling projects (basement),...![who i want to be](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/30094317/7990653990_64ed24d8da.jpg)
who i want to be
(These adorable rocks are part of my home decor line with Creative Co-op, but how cute would this be as a DIY project with a few rocks and alphabet stamps?) I’ve been a little restless. About what’s next. About the next thing, the next move, the next...![this is my anxiety story.](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/30094159/7092578099_f6130f385d.jpg)
this is my anxiety story.
I’ve written this post in my head countless times. I kept waiting to get to the other side of this particular struggle before I shared. And then the other side never came, even with lots of effort. I often wondered if I’d ever get to the other side at all....![dear you, now is the time.](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/30094108/7143622829_bbdc9b43d2.jpg)
dear you, now is the time.
I love this so much – had to share. I think speaking our truth can look differently for all of us, but the shaking voice is always there, especially in the beginning. (Sincerely, Faith – print available here, original sold) For many of us speaking our...![thoughts on spinning + introducing plates!](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/30070815/6236951514_8a38618634.jpg)
thoughts on spinning + introducing plates!
(new painting. print available —> here) I keep having these conversations about how I often feel like I’m spinning. Spinning in and out of mama world, in and out of biz world, in and out of house chores, and on and on. As time moves forward, the...![powerful](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/30021744/12093704_213543195671509_1426291614_n.jpg)

My friend Ali posted this video last week and I want to repost it here so as many people can see it as possible. As many of you know, melanoma gave John and I the scare of our lives and it changed everything for us so early in our marriage and time together. We are...![breaking out of a creative rut – by ali edwards](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/30093852/4815724308_832fef0732.jpg)

it’s not until i talk to other moms that i realize how much my heart is carrying and expanding. i’ve never been so relieved to know i’m not alone in an experience. what nobody tells you is that your capacity for holding everything expands...![even through the hard.](https://cdn2.kellyraeroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/30093805/5098231987_709821c887_b.jpg)
