About

Kelly grew up in the suburbs of Boston, mere minutes from the Atlantic ocean. For several years she lived in New York City where she found the two loves of her life: Publishing and David. She moved to the Twin Cities for her husband, and eventually managed to pick up the pieces of her career as well. Although she’s learning to appreciate lakes, she misses the ocean ferociously.

  • I turned 36. Penny turned four. David and I celebrated 11 years together and 6 years of marriage at the apple orchard where we tied the knot. Also happening but not pictured here: I switched agencies and made some big changes in the structure of my days. I traveled for conferences and taught again this year, which I loved. And I also failed extremely hard. And life got very tough for a while. Penny drew this picture for me, of rain and grey clouds and thunder and lightning because I was feeling so sad this year. But she also added flowers and a rainbow, for when my heart started to feel happy again. I’m starting to feel happy again now. Here’s to a brighter 2019 for all of us. 🌈🌻

  • The day of the 2016 presidential election, I voted, and then I ran a 5k within sight of the MN capitol. My first race ever. I felt so much joy and pride and then...later...so much anguish. Today, my daughter ran her first ever race. A half mile. Also in sight of the MN capitol. And again, I feel so much joy and pride and anguish. We have confirmed an odious man to the highest court in the land. I do not believe my daughter’s life will be better for it. But she herself is a light in a dark world. May she never ever have cause to dim her shine.
