Oh, Paris!

This is me after 10 days in Paris. Jardin du Luxembourg.

After a much anticipated trip to Paris in April 2022, I realized, at the age of 59, that I am happiest in Paris. Haha! I mean, who wouldn’t be? Everything is just better in Paris. I was more creative in Paris than I’d been in ages. I loved wandering the Paris arrondissements and really exploring them with an intense focus. I was giddy. So happy and in my element. Oh, Paris.

The entirety of my trip, I asked myself over and over again, “how do I keep this feeling going after I return home?”

Alors mes amies, that is exactly what I’ll attempt to do here. I will write about creativity, about travel, about creating while I’m traveling. We’ll go places virtually together. We may even have the opportunity to go places together…for REAL! :)

I’m all about keeping that Paris feeling going. It’s more than just going through the many (many!) photos I took throughout my trip and paging through my travel journal. It’s about capturing that feeling of being so grateful to be there. To be alive in that city on that day. It’s about a state of mind. I’m calling it “living my Paris life”, and it includes creating every day, being in the moment and really savoring it, and mostly seeing life through an explorer’s lens.

So, join me here when you need a little minute away from your day.

We’ll always have Paris.
