Hey there! My name is Michelle, and I am the creator of Live Happily Inked. I began this site almost 10 years ago to spread love, joy, and kindness through the world by living a colorful life that is happily inked by God’s love.

This blog began when I was working as an intern in the magical land of Disney World. I left Tennessee for Florida and took a semester off from college, knowing that God was about to do some major work in my life. He had been calling me to move away from home for a while, and everything fell into place perfectly to do so. As He took His paintbrush and began painting my life with new colors and shapes, I felt the overwhelming need to write and share. So what started out as a little blog called Violet Ivy turned into the blog you see today, called Live Happily Inked.
