About
My name is Holley, and I’m so glad to meet you, or see you again on this blog! For anyone who isn’t familiar with me already, I’d like to share a little bit about myself, so you can get a better feel for the background of who’s writing this blog about positivity, and who’s behind the lens of the accompanying photography.
As for my experience in living a life based on positivity, I am beginning my 24th year of this ongoing journey, and loving each day more than the last! Yes, even on the ‘less than fun days’, I get a honest laugh to accompany my learning of life lessons. Another thing you should probably know: Since 2014, I have been living with a diagnosed condition which causes chronic physical pain. I mention this because of the success I’ve had in maintaining a spirit of positivity and sincere caring for others, despite the setbacks of my condition. Nurturing a positive outlook plays a major role in my ability to manage pain; with primarily only sporadic use of low dosage analgesics.
Why start a blog? After much nudging to share the How To knowledge I live by, on a scale larger than the one-to-one basis I have dedicated myself to for years, this blog was born. It is my goal to pass along what I have learned works (and what doesn’t) to build, grow, and maintain a positive way of looking at life in general, and to share new discoveries made or investigated. Keeping mindful of the How Tos, and remaining teachable, have served me well in balancing life’s ups and downs; lightening my overall load tremendously. It is my sincere hope that what I’ve found, and continue to find, will serve you well too!
Your thoughts? I would love to hear them!

Dear Holley, I admire your attitude, your photography and your fantastic way to express your wise, profound words in so eloquent words. This year I have been tired very often and therefore I missed a lot of your pic, texts and subscribing your blog earlier. But I hope that I will be fitter and than also more attentive during the following year. You are a sweet, loving, shining, encouraging star Holley and I am deeply impressed by you. Wish you only the very best💝Grace
Grace, you lift any day; I’m so very happy to hear from you! Gosh, I’m beyond appreciative for the chance to share anything of help, or lighten the load of a day. Over the past few years, I have been enriched by your encouraging words and outlook; I do hope this year finds us with chances to share more of our living-knowledge with each other. That said, hope you know I absolutely realize that no one can know all the challenges on another’s plate; but I will say, I hope this is the season of “more Grace”! But, if it’s not, you can find me patiently waiting, where I’m suppose to be…. or, at least you know where to throw a rock at my window. 😉
Wishing you safety especially now, and joy in your heart always, my dear friend. <3 (<- an antiquated heart "emoji" heehee)
Holley, your blog is filled with so much insight as well as useful information. It may take me awhile, but I’ll be reading it all.
Sending you blessings
Hi, Kathy! Oh, I’m so very happy to welcome you. Sincerely looking forward to getting on-board with your Facebook/website also!
I’ve already benefited so much from our Instagram interaction; truly craving more of your insight.
(Now, to get busy on creating the Life With Holley FB account!)
I sense great fun and much learning as a result of our symbiotic sharing in the years to come.
Much obliged for your valued encouragement, Kathy, and wishing many blessings to you in return, my friend!
Wonderfully. Finally someone who sees what I see myself – Life. Playfulness, positive life philosophy and great joy, but also humble gratitude to life. Thanks for sharing.
Big Hug ❤ //Kim (KAjENs’N)
Hello, Kim! I truly appreciate your upbeat, kind comment; wow, you just lit up my morning! (No doubt your beautiful note, expressing kinship in common humanity and gratitude for the joy of being alive, will help power my outlook all week my friend!) The affect of your words on my general perception is a great example of the magic of positivity; so very happy to welcome you. Wishing you and yours a beautiful new week! <3
I am thrilled to have found this creative & mindful blog. It has all the ear markings of authentic words shared out of love and genuine purpose.
Oh, Holly, I am absolutely thrilled to welcome you!! Truly appreciate you voicing what you see (I need a tissue, happy tears!) You really nailed it; indeed a labor of love to try and get word out about the ‘deep potholes’ I’ve stepped in. (There’s just no sense in not at least turning back to anyone on the same path, and mentioning: “By the way, there’s a deep pothole there!”, as well as, “If you do take a tumble, the ladder is on the west side of the hole, behind the bushes!”) 😀 Thank you, most sincerely, for your kind and generous words of encouragement; so looking forward to not only sharing from this end, but any of your thoughts as well! Love the feeling of everyone pulling together; priceless!
This is so fantasticaly wonderful!!!! Way to go, for figuring out and having the stick-to-itiveness to figure out the mass world of web development and blogging. Wish you all the best going forward in your endeavors! We’re over the moon for you!! ☺️💜❤️💙💛💚🧡 🐨🐭
Hi, guys!! Oh, I’m so thrilled you located this! Thank you, truly, for your invigorating encouragement!! Want you to know that your heartfelt words and thoughts transcend the miles, adding much to my daily life. Regardless of whether or not we’re in direct daily contact, “I feel ya”. Hoping you can sense the same is coming from my direction to you both!! Wishing your serenity and safe travels, each and every day, my lovely friends.
Hello! Nice to catch up with you on your own site which is very neat. On ‘hindsight’ I can see that you have really worked hard on this. Your blog timing has been consistent. And thanks for telling IG folks about this sweet ‘home’ site. Will catch up more on those positive vibes in the days to come.
Hello, Thothar! Oh I so appreciate you having a look; trying to pass along different things that have helped me in general. Your encouragement is truly invigorating, Thothar; contagious, if you will, just like a smile! Will be catching up with your writings as well. So enjoy how you weave together thought provoking statements and a lighthearted, fun air. Thank you again for visiting ‘home’!
