<div style="text-align: center;">
it's been six months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
six months ago my life story <a href="http://scenicglory.blogspot.com/search/label/life%20changes" target="_blank">turned a corner</a> and instantly a new beginning was created.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it has been a journey filled with tears, laughter, joy, excitement, learning and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have been finding myself, writing the pages to my new story and along the way have discovered more about life than i ever dreamed...it's been a beautiful path filled with many lessons that i will forever cherish and carry with me as i continue on this adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while enjoying this journey i have realized a few things about change...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
change is necessary - change is important - change helps us grow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i look at scenic glory and all that it has become since i published my first post back in november of 2010 and i see an unbelievable history that i am so honored to have shared, but at the same time desire something new...something that portrays me and this amazing journey of life that i am currently living and about to embark on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i feel as though i have "abandoned" scenic glory and my desire is to get back to the basics of what this space was originally intended to be - a design + inspiration blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the coming month i am excited to announce that scenic glory will become just this...a place to share my love for design, the things i create, beautiful details that inspire me and i hope will inspire others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but what i am most excited about is the personal lifestyle side that gradually found it's way in to scenic glory throughout the last year. this side will have a new home - a space that i have named.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>i am her</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>candid musings + photographs from the life of a ginger girl</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the introduction of the new scenic glory will also come the introduction of this little gem of mine. i look forward to sharing and putting my heart & soul back into the things i love so dearly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DDP5oJHm_NI/UDJb_1K2ldI/AAAAAAAAEh8/3Mx3QvQoRoo/s1600/dino2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DDP5oJHm_NI/UDJb_1K2ldI/AAAAAAAAEh8/3Mx3QvQoRoo/s1600/dino2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
this last year has been nothing short of a journey. a life changing journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have grown in ways i never thought possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i found strength in myself that i never knew existed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i discovered that time really does heal. even that of a broken heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through this i have learned an invaluable lesson on <b><i>happiness</i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happiness...is not defined by another person. true happiness, is found when in your own company.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
being alone and finding what it is within yourself that makes living life truly remarkable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when you find your own <b><i>true</i></b> happiness, that's when the unexpected starts to happen...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
amazing people begin to find their way into your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe for just a moment or maybe for an eternity, but either way they will find you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's these people that will see your own happiness and bring it to new heights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's these people that you will grow, learn and laugh with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's these people that will remind you why finding your happiness first was worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>find it. feel it. be it.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's the greatest gift you could ever receive.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
sometimes i forget how inspired i can be by color. while browsing through my photo archives i came across some snapshots i took recently while spending the day in chattanooga...it seems that on this particular day i was inspired and in love with all shades of blush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

i have a love for random trinkets & keepsakes. i remember a time when my heart would skip a beat at the sight of a vintage cigar box (who am i kidding...i still get excited when i see one), i always wanted to buy them, but never knew what to do with them - one can only have so many "spare change" boxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is until now. never will i pass up on another good cigar box find...they will be the perfect home to a lovely succulent garden. don't you agree?</div>lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07521396795593817442noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588924202446123818.post-22247234652335850732012-08-07T17:33:00.000-05:002012-11-17T15:02:18.281-06:00here and there ✈<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
my weeks have been filled with a lot of travels here and there. chattanooga day trips, atlanta georgia baseball games, a weekend in cleveland with family & two weeks in the big city of beautiful chicago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the smokey mountains welcomed me home with open arms yesterday...today has been filled with to do lists, design projects, unpacking and a little bit of olympic watching. i'm making my way to the screened porch in just a minute to watch the early evening thunderstorm that's rolling in and hope to catch a magical firefly show afterwards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

my family came to visit on saturday - we walked the market square in downtown knoxville, enjoyed frozen custard with rainbow sprinkles (of course), put our toes in the waterfall and came home and told ghost stories (i think my 4 year old nephew's story about getting eaten by a bear was my favorite)....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
a sunday matinee date with my mom was long overdue - we saw katy perry's part of me 3D and it was ah.ma.zing. one word of advice...if you go, consider wearing a blue wig - i felt really left out without one.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
every day i see a new opportunity - to live. to learn. to grow. it's a very beautiful thing and something that i never intend to take for granted. i sit here thinking about my life, where i am, the people that surround me and all the things that this life has to offer...that i have to look forward to...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have learned...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to focus on today - you never know what tomorrow will or won't bring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be thankful for the things that i do have - not what i don't</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that being <i>different</i> is a <i><b>gift</b></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that time really does heal, even when you think your world is over...it does get better</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that i really can make a difference, whether it be in this <b><i>world</i></b>, or in a person's <b><i>life</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
smiling is contagious - we should all do it more often</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that niceness can be mistaken for <i style="font-weight: bold;">weakness </i>- but at least i know it's a sign of <b><i>strength</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that every single person has a purpose, including myself - it's just finding it that's the hard part</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to dream and dream big - we only have one life to live why not make the most of it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that attitude is everything - and a <b><i>positive</i></b> attitude is priceless</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that forgiveness is necessary - to not forgive is like drinking poison</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to speak even when no one is listening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to help and do the right thing, even when no one is watching</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that i deserve to be loved and accepted for everything that i am and want to be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that disappointment makes you <b><i>stronger</i></b> from the inside out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that creating "small talk" with a complete stranger can make a difference in their day (and mine as well)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to let go and be okay with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have learned to be me and only me-this is my <b><i>commitment</i></b> to live up to the spirit that is within myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have learned to live in the moment and make it so <b><i>beautiful</i></b> that it will be worth remembering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what have you learned? i would love for you to share with me.</div>

<b>i</b>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
am a dreamer. always have been, always will be...there just isn't any other way to live for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do not regret things easily - life's too short for regrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
believe everything happens for a reason - so i'm always finding the positive in it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have been a vegetarian for almost 7 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like to write out lists because it makes me feel like i've accomplished something...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have a tendency to never go back and look at those lists :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love old fashioned carnivals & circuses (just the nostalgia of it all, not the animal cruelty part)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
believe i was born in the wrong decade - but don't we all?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want to buy a vintage vespa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
am a self taught guitar player, i'm still not very good - but i love it anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do not like pop, carbonation and i do not get along.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do love vintage sodas though - not the taste, just the look :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love dresses/skirts and wear them pretty much every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
own a vw bug convertible - her name is francine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
am a perfectionist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love lipstick in all shades, especially red & peach</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will work for the anthropologie design team one day - there is no other option.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want to drive the entire route 66 in the next few years (and blog about it of course).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
listen to music all day long while i work on designs (thank you grooveshark).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want to go on a hot air balloon ride this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get excited about small things like candy striped straws & polaroids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want to see charleston SC and savannah GA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
am a lover, not a fighter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have been away for a little while, not because i don't want to be here, but because i have been taking the time to build myself - to become a better version of me - to grow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
discovering this new life has been a journey...while certain moments have been scary, other moments have been enlightening. motivating. inspiring. it's these things that keep me moving in a forward motion - in the end i will land on my feet...that's the part that really matters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have learned through the months that <b><i>uncertainty</i></b> and i have a <b><i>love - hate</i></b> relationship... i used to be a planner, but what is the purpose of planning when so much of what life has to offer, we have absolutely no control over? a life of uncertainty is far more exciting - so for now i choose to <b style="font-style: italic;">live and let live,</b> i choose to continue to<b style="font-style: italic;"> let it be</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to my long time readers and new one's as well, i hope you will continue to follow me on my life journey - let's learn, build and grow together... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>"she wants to be beautiful, wants a flash, a spark, a rare and wonderful spirit that everyone sees. but before all of that, she wants to respect herself. as is. even the shaky parts. because even the shaky parts have a shine to them that doesn't fade. she grows ever stronger in the life she has made."</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
it's the small things that really make me happy. beautiful summer days, ferris wheel rides, kettle corn and creamsicles...and when you don't have a creamsicle - just dressing like one will do :)</div>

you know it's summer when little street carnivals start popping up on every corner. the blinking lights, ferris wheels, fun slides, balloon popping games and cotton candy makes my heart smile every single time...being a kid at heart never gets old.</div>

we dressed up especially for the occasion (minus the big floppy hats because we didn't have them...sad day) we wouldn't have it any other way. we placed bets based on the horses names like "oh my sweetie pie" and "hello sailor" - we won several races...who needs statistics anyway :) <br />
<br />
i am headed back to chicago land again in a few weeks and this time i'm packing my hat for a little extra good luck...one can never have enough of it.<br />

road trips are my favorite. especially on nice sunny days when i can ride with my convertible top down, feel the breeze in my hair and listen to old tunes from the 50's & 60's. it's the small things like this that remind me life is good. <br />

ever since my days of living in the big city of chicago, i have always had a special place in my heart for baseball. the nostalgia of wrigley field, red white & blue, ivy covered walls, peanuts & cracker jacks, take me out to the ball game...this girl is in love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
the cubs have a minor league team here in knoxville and i was all smiles sitting behind home plate with my popcorn in hand. wednesday i am off to visit the windy city...a week with old friends from high school, a beautiful skyline, deep dish pizza and a night of blue's sounds pretty incredible to me. any reason to get dressed up and fancy makes my heart sing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
well hello friday...you snuck right up on me. i've been spending my day dreaming myself away to sweet south carolina. i visited the beautiful town of greenville a month ago (so sorry it took awhile to share a few of my favorite photographs) and haven't stopped thinking about that lovely place ever since. it was love at first sight...i think the feeling was mutual.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the town of charleston is calling my name...i feel it pulling at my heartstrings - i have never been, but from the pictures and conversations i have had, it seems like just the place for me. i think a trip this summer is in order...something about old pastel homes with matching shutters gives me all kinds of butterflies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tonight, i'm off to the ballpark. a red & white candy striped dress, peanuts & cracker jacks...this girl has it made! happy weekend loves.</div>

my favorite yellow pleated dress, pearl earrings, cat-eye sunglasses, red lipstick to match my freshly colored ginger hair & peter pan collars. there is no better combination in my book. i say i am channeling my inner betty draper (the madmen beauty)...it makes me smile and guarantees a day of happiness. all i need is a constant repeat of late 1950's & 60's music hour after hour and this girl is good to go.<br />

<br />
he took children's books to a different level. i can remember first reading where the wild things are. i was captivated by the story but even more captivated by his amazing illustrations. his work motivated me to pick up a pencil and begin drawing again...i'm certain he did this for many.<br />
<br />
so today, let us all have a day filled with adventure...<br />
