I'm glad you're here! If you know me, you know I'm a Texas girl born & raised-- in the 70's when the music was great, the hair was big, the clothes were funky and the days were simple. I LOVE the sun and all things outdoors; biking, skiing, walks with Sadie (my Goldendoodle-- more about her later)... on a beach or in the mountains. Tacos, chips & salsa, diet coke and sweet time spent on the Front Porch is Texas heaven to me. When I'm outdoors my heart is connected with God. His spirit feels so alive in nature and that's what my heart longs for daily. I've done a lot of life on my Front Porch and have always said, "if that Front Porch could talk, oh the stories it would tell". Stories that are a mix of sweet and salty and alot of messy but most are how Jesus met me there everyday working miracles in and around me that I couldn't see. Come sit with me on the Front Porch as I share my story of how God took all the pieces of this messy broken heart and made beauty out of ashes. (More about me and a snip-it of my story)
Join the Front Porch community and stories that say-- you are not alone.
See you on the Front Porch,
Terri Kelley
To see tethered and broken hearts healed and set free as we dare to live authentic lives, create community, cultivate purpose, and love like Jesus.

Welcome to the Front Porch!
I believe in the sacred space of a sisterhood, rooted in authenticity and compassion, where stories are shared, victories are celebrated, and communities take root. The Front Porch welcomes everyone with open hearts and honest conversations... where coffee and tea are always on, and a slice of Texas pie or margarita is on hand when needed.
You belong here!

Welcome to the relaunch of Front Porch Girl.
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for me after walking through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Nearly two years ago, I disappeared from this space. Every time I tried to write, the words wouldn't come. But now my heart is saying— it's time. Time to turn the page, honor what has been, and begin again.
In July 2023, I woke up in the hospital ICU after being run over by a Jeep as I approached the crosswalk to enter our local Walmart. The impact caused a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)—brain bleeds, a cracked skull, memory loss, and other injuries. My recovery has been long, quiet, and deeply challenging... unlike anything I have experienced before. I soon discovered TBIs have their own recovery schedule, and I was at its mercy.
Many of you know I have walked through deep trauma in my life—overcoming abuse, profound loss, and grief. This accident added a new layer of trauma—one that came with raw anger, deep hurt, and many hard questions for God. I never expected to be that person who wakes up in the hospital with no memory of how I got there. It shook me to my core. But— I am still here. Still healing. Still finding my way through and growing stronger each day.
So I return to this space changed. New eyes. New heart. A new perspective. Everything is different now — some things better, some not. I hope my new story (coming soon) will shine a light for anyone navigating through trauma, heartbreak, or grief, and that the Front Porch becomes a place of connection, healing, and community. Much love...
