I’m ready for the next phase in my life… the old me no longer exists. My beliefs have changed… my heart has changed… and I’m ready to move on.
There is beauty in growing. There is light to be found. What once served a purpose… can now be graciously set on a shelf as a faded memory of lessons learned… to be looked upon but never held again.
The old me doesn’t exist anymore. Neither does the old you.
Moving On.&.Flowing.
Flowing to my own rhythm. Greeting the Sun each day. Moving on from what I used to be to what I need to be. People come and go. I’m learning this. I stretch. I sit. And then I stretch some more. The Sun. The birds. My own quietness.
Can you find the camel?
Three North Georgia country drive by photographs. On the last one… Can you spot the camel??

I started the day with a solo morning stroll through Helen, Georgia. Chatted up with the Chattahoochee River…. And then took a day trip to Athens, Georgia for some Terrapin Beer.
Yours truly giving a peace sign by sun shadow. On my morning stroll. The next couple videos are me and the Chattahoochee River getting to know each other.
The Helendorf Inn. Where we stayed. It had the cutest paintings all over it and our balcony overlooked the Chattahoochee River. It was cute..not ritzy.. just Helen.
More paintings from our cute Bavarian style hotel.
Rapunzel… Rapunzel… Let down your long hair.

Today after we finished up cleaning the house the girls retired to Uma’s room…watching videos on TV and on iPhones…even I, myself, was guilty of plopping on the couch browsing instagram and pinterest…
Then I stopped and remembered that I had recently read this blog entry from A Cup of Jo and was inspired by the idea of taking the kids out EVERY single day of the year. I went to check on them and I was like…it’s happening RIGHT NOW. They were sitting on the bed…vegging out on devices…I said okay girls get your shoes on…to heck with waiting until the first of the year to make an honest attempt at getting them outside everyday. IT STARTS TODAY…and it did.
First we hung out in the front yard and I had them chase leaves to catch them before they fell on the ground. It was funny. As I recall back when I lived in Kentucky me and my friends used to do that…it was the most fun when there were tons of leaves that fell at once…we would just laugh and laugh and jump around trying to catch leaves. I can’t wait until the leaves really starts falling hard here…I think the girls would have a ball dancing in the leaves. That is what childhood should be like…
After we played for a minute we went on a walk and looked for pretty leaves to collect. Ava was quite selective in her collection and Uma seriously tried to bring home every leaf.
When you play like this…play like a child…with all the seriousness of curiosity…you are then truly and nearly yourself…
Love & Moonlight,
Kelly
P.S. get the kids out in nature…and away from the digital world. Bringing it back to old school playing…
