I’m Kelly.
Over a decade ago, my daughter Erinn and I opened Kelly’s Bake Shoppe to make healthy living accessible—and delicious. Now, my journey has grown to embrace personal growth, healing, homesteading, and living in harmony with nature.

Gimme that

With great humbleness and gratitude, I’m announcing that I’ve been chosen to be the Keynote Speaker for the Burlington Chamber of Commerce, Mayor’s Luncheon, on November 22. This is a profound honour for me in many ways in this very dominated, patriarchal culture.

I must admit, when I was first asked by Keith Hoey, President of the Chamber, I was shocked. I thought he had called this meeting with me to ask for the typical cupcake donation for an event (that happens more often then not in our industry). To find out that this honour, in previous years, had been bestowed upon the likes of the President and CEO of Ford, President of Union Gas and more heavy hitters, I went into absolute break-down mode.

As they say, “ask and you shall receive”, and this is exactly what has happened for me. For the past few months, I have been cultivating the idea of speaking, sharing, and traveling with my message of, “Living On Purpose” and that we all have the power to move our life towards greatness and deeply into our authentic lives. I see how I am drawn to help and inspire others and to show them it’s okay to be whoever it is you need to be as long as it sparks that joy in your heart and soul. As a business woman, and cultivating my businesses from the ground up, I’m being acknowledged as a “marketing phenomenon”, “an incredible inspiration for all” and as a “passionate creator that has built a tribe for 1000’s to follow and be inspired by”.

Here I am, today, this little girl from Scarborough, with big and magical dreams from baking mud pies and a deep burning passion to spread so much love and passion deep into people’s souls and lives, and I have been given the distinctive honour of sharing my vision, my life and my joy with all of you.
