Big vs. Small and Common Scents
BIG VS. SMALL
I have long been a fan of the BIG PICTURE, the sweeping view, the epiphany!
Always the one looking for the handwriting on the wall that said (in very large letters) GO THIS WAY.
Instead, what I have usually been met with are tiny clues—like a line from a book that has pointed me not to my final destination but to the very next place on my path—which might be, metaphorically speaking, only 2 doors down.
What is very worthy to point out is this…. maybe what matters most is whatever gets us to the next place.
Maybe a book, a dream, a conversation. Maybe one kind word from an unexpected source. Maybe one LOOK that says I know you can do it.
Perhaps its not one big pivotal moment that forever sets us on the right path but JUST MAYBE it’s a series of tiny clues that fall into place and build the road to the life we are meant to live.
Just maybe 🙂

When in France
One of the many things to love about France is this: Meals are often enjoyed amidst the bounty of the gardens and courtyards!
Friends gather in for locally made wine and bread (spread with amazing butter from nearby farm) and spend a leisurely couple of hours catching up with each other.
It doesn’t hurt if off in the distance one can spy the lavender fields 😉

The Invitation
Your TOTAL presence is requested for this magnificent day.
Starry skies await your awestruck gaze
Shimmering sunlight dancing on water looks for the countenance that says, “I SEE you!”
JOY squeezes itself from every velvet rose petal
and drips from dew drenched leaves
ARE YOU COMING??
Your TOTAL awareness is requested 🙂

The Romance of Paris
Falling in love happens in a moment, with a touch, one lingering glance at a time.
Paris has that effect on one.

French Spoken Here
There’s always one.
You know the type I’m talking about.
They like to kick up their heels and party
‘Til the cows come home 🙂
Can’t say that I blame them.
Sometime said cows don’t even want to come home, especially when they’re in France.
(Not that I know anyone who feels this way…)
I mean, I’m certainly no angel

Ahem….WHO’S TO BLAME?? (Shady Business in France)
It has been said the best defense is no defense at all (that’s an Eddie quote). Since my last posting from France was…ahem….a couple of hours a few days several days (okay, okay…weeks ago!)
I am not sure if I need a defense or not but just in case:
