Hi, I'm New Here

Hi!

I'm doing it ! I'm starting my own blog.

It's been a long time coming, and now that I've bitten the bullet and I'm actually putting word and thought into action, I'm asking myself why it's taken me so long. I love writing. Not that I have much of anything profound to say, but it feels so good to see your thoughts spelled out in front of you, and I already know what an amazing outlet journaling can be, so I have faith that my new blog will serve me the same way a journal would in a lot of ways, and hopefully I will also find ways to serve and inspire whoever comes here to read. I want this to be a place of sharing ideas and making new friends and connections. I really don't have any specific plans for this blog other than to share bits of my life--things I love, places I go, plans for the future, maybe stories from the past, beauty secrets, family and home life. So, let's get into it.

Let me start by introducing myself.

I’m Holly Byrd Harrell, 26 year old wife to William Harrell and mama to 15 month old baby Hanson. We live in West Point, MS after a brief but fabulous stint in California. I've been a professional model, a drop out, an honor graduate, a children's book author, a part-time cashier, and a heartbroken caregiver to a terminally ill family member. I'm now a loving mother, a wife, and a beauty consultant with an affinity for true crime podcasts. I still model from time to time and love when I get to jump back in front of the camera. I grew up in a tiny town in south Mississippi called Brookhaven, and lived in New York City, Jackson, San Fransisco, and back again to a tiny MS town, this time West Point. I love to travel. I love movies.. name one, I've seen 'em all. I love exotic food. I love the Lord and I'm proud to say that I'm called to be His.

This is where I'm at and I'm truly blessed to live the life I have.

I'm super excited about sharing bits of my life with you and can't wait to see where this leads. I obviously have a lot to learn as far as the technology side of doing this with layouts and such, but I decided to not let that hold me back from getting started. Nobody begins anything as an expert. So, clinching onto that train of thought, I'm pressing publish.

Thanks for coming here, I hope you'll come back soon!
