Thoughts on Resilience
“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Lena Horne Healthy Mindset – Day 11 I’m an over-thinker. Are you? Do you also absorb information deeply and feel things deeply? Does it sometimes cause you to dwell on the worst possible outcomes? During times like this, I think it’s…

ceilings of the Louvre
“Remember to look at the ceilings in the Louvre!” That’s the advice I took to heart in Paris. The Louvre is intimidating – it’s the biggest and most visited museum in the world, so not only is there so much to see (over 35 000 works of art), you are often jockeying for a prime…

In Paris….around every corner…
…is something delightful to discover! The Stravinsky Fountain was on my list….and we happened on it accidentally after a wine tasting lunch while walking through the historical Beaubourg District. I love this mural by Jef Aerosol called Chuuutttt! A few days into the trip, after lucking out and just coming upon the Fountain, the guidebook…

Posts have been few and far between for a number of different reasons, but quietly in the background, a trip to Paris has been planned! It’s getting very close to lift off, and I hope to have many pictures to share in the weeks to come. Everyone I’ve talked to about Paris seems to have…
