I think this kind of life that is connected with the people around you is how it is supposed to be Kelly. Not isolated, not cut off from your neighbors. Lovely story, and I love the picture of you with the kids. 🩵
You can’t choose your neighbors, but you can choose your neighborhood—and maybe more importantly, stay open to what arrives once you’re there. Some of the most meaningful parts of our time in Bali weren’t the places at all. They were the people.
And connecting with kids has always been one of my love languages. Those moments tend to stay with me long after the scenery fades.
It's sad that in so much of modern societies we have cut ourselves off from our neighbours - to the point that we can even begrudge their very presence.
That’s so true, Glenda. I’ve been guilty of that very thing “back home” and am now rethinking how I will interact with my community during our 2 months in the US.

Linda, you’re right, of course. 💙

Beautiful, Kelly! 💙
Love your perspective.

I love this. Beautiful writing and thoughts.
Thank you, Deb… It means a lot to me!
