Europe Phase II Part 2a
Bonjour from France again! š«š· So… the Universe heard my pangs of frustration and loneliness by providing us with our plan of action for Phase II Part 1 and 2. Part 1 Recap I already covered most of Part 1 in the previous post. We ate as a coping mechanism, but thankfully it was only…

Food & Life in Italy
Well, it’s been less than a week and I’m already missing my friends and wondering when we can move back to France…. Let’s just get the challenges out and cleared. Challenge 1 – The Visa Remember how I said that I’m constantly needing to remember to stay fluid and flexible? Well, the promise of a…

Europe Phase II
Six months ago, we landed in France planning to rent for a few months and then finding a place to put down roots long-term. As life continues to remind me, most things rarely go as planned…. First, there is COVID with lockdowns and difficulties in being able to explore areas. Then, there is a lack…

Silence is Golden?
So, I did it. I submitted an application for a ten-day silent meditation retreat in response to my need and near insanity from being stuck in a small cottage where the walls and doors are more like paper. My introverted self is suffering a bit from the constant sound of my husband’s voice as he…

Midnight Musings
It’s the middle of the night. Despite going to bed at my usual time around 9 pm, and shortly falling asleep well before 10 to settle in for my evening slumber, I awoke briefly around 10:30 upon hearing my husband on the phone. It’s not uncommon these days for him to stay up a bit…

Outlook is Everything!
My best laid intentions of writing regularly were thwarted slightly as chaos will always win over even the most orderly of situations. There’s no way to avoid a tornado, you just have to wait for it to pass then pick up the pieces left in its wake. Some might lament at the lack of fairness…
