Hey BeltLine fam!

Derby Day has a way of making a regular Saturday feel like an occasion and Atlanta knows how to show up for it. This week's Life Line is all about that energy: big hats, good bourbon, great food, and the kind of places that make this city worth living in.

Whether you're spending Saturday on the Westside cheering on your favorite horse or dreaming about a slower pace of life out at the lake, we've got something for you.

Let's get into it.

xoxo, Holly πŸ’›

This Week’s Sponsor

Kathy Daniel // Lake Oconee Life

This week's Life Line is brought to you by Kathy Daniel, Keller Williams // Lake Oconee Life.

Thinking About Lake Oconee? There's One Person You Need to Call.

If you've ever driven out to Lake Oconee on a weekend and thought I could really see myself here - you're not alone. I've watched so many Atlanta BeltLine neighbors make that exact leap, trading city life for 19,000 acres of lake, world-class golf, and a pace that actually lets you breathe. And many of them has had Kathy Daniel by their side.

Kathy is the real deal, a Lake Oconee native who has watched this community grow from a quiet lake town into one of Georgia's most sought-after destinations. She's been my personal real estate agent, and she's helped countless people from Atlanta make the move, whether that's a lock-and-leave condo for long weekends, a retirement home inside Reynolds Lake Oconee, or a full-time relocation to the lake. She knows every community, every nuance, and she'll treat you like a friend through every step of the process.

Whether you're just curious or ready to tour, give Kathy a call. πŸ“ž (706) 473-1707
