Welcome to This Purely Joyful Life!
I’m Kimberley, a wife, dog mom, outdoor enthusiast, and former first grade teacher. I strive to live a joyful, healthy life rooted in Christ while battling severe auto-immune conditions, ankylosing spondylitis, and infertility.
Here on This Purely Joyful Life, I share faith-led encouragement and practical ways to live a healthier, more intentional life — from anti-inflammatory recipes and non-toxic swaps to holistic self-care and natural wellness routines.
Even in the hardest seasons, God has been my anchor, filling my heart with peace and reminding me that joy can flourish right in the middle of the healing process. I hope this space encourages you to live your own purely joyful life, rooted in faith and wholeness.
Healing with food is possible!
