Three years in, I’m discovering the difference between loving a culture and living in it. Paris, ah Paris. I moved back here 3 years ago, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, confident to take on my new world and life. I mean, I spoke pretty fluent French, knew which utensil was used for what course or animal/vegetable/other, and…
Is it as hard for you as it is for me to take time off? I’m back from 5 weeks away from my newsletter and blog writing duties. I was travelling for work, taking personal time off to go to the US Open as well as visiting family. Even though I am surrounded daily by…
This week’s musing is going to be a short one since I’m currently on vacation. You know, that NY-style vacation where you are still kinda checking your emails? But I’m not. I have had a pretty intense first half of the year and needed to completely unplug to regenerate for the second half of the…
I have to tell you what just happened to me because it felt like the most dramatic real life Feng Shui lesson in Yin and Yang, and honestly I didn’t even realize it was happening until I landed back in Paris. I left NYC on one of the very first flights out after the blizzard,…
When I moved to Paris, I made myself a promise: I wasn’t going to simply be an American living abroad. I would live like a Parisian. And yes! Parisians do life differently. In July and August, they don’t try to squeeze one more client, one more project, one more ounce of productivity. They close their…
If you had two full weeks of free time to do whatever you wanted, what would you do? Your answer says a lot, and through a Feng Shui lens it reveals even more. Most people think Feng Shui is only about physical space, the furniture, the colors, the way your home flows. But that is…
I’m back from Amsterdam, and although, as a former New Yorker, I had planned to do some “light” work – like cleaning out my laptop and Google Drive – that was my goal. I had time off, but I still had to be productive, right? That’s the mindset of an overachieving New Yorker, child-of-immigrants kid….
This week, I’m on part 1 of my European vacation (more on that in another newsletter)! Yes – I’m slowly adapting to the slower European lifestyle, and no, I’m not crying about it. But I knew myself well enough to start off this integration into a slower living, gently. I didn’t disappear into the forest….
This week, I welcomed my 54th year — and I share that with pride. Not to brag or complain, but because I genuinely believe every year we get to live, grow, and celebrate is a gift. I also believe it’s time we shed the stigma around aging. Furthermore, something deep has been shifting in me….
I just returned to Paris from NYC, and wow, the difference of energy in specific cities is undeniable. New York is fast-paced, dynamic, and full of momentum. Paris, on the other hand, moves at a different rhythm, one that allows for a little more reflection and balance. That’s why I call Paris, “my little village!”…
