Hello and welcome to The Estella Initiative, a travel and lifestyle blog run by Mary Kelm, a woman who lives in the Sonoran desert of Arizona. Mary is a blogging hobbyist of two blogs: The Estella Initiative and Essie of Who.
The Estella Initiative is a sister blog to Mary’s art blog, Essie of Who, which is dedicated to her art, sewing, and nature photography. Although Mary’s art blog originally started as an art and lifestyle blog, over the years it became so dominated by her art that it became hard to make lifestyle oriented posts. So, in 2017, a lifestyle blog, The Estella Initiative, was born!
Her hobbies include sewing, drawing, photography, knitting, reading, and hiking in the Arizona desert.
