Just Visiting
I was honored today by being asked to write today on the beautiful and compelling blog, A Design So Vast. I talked a little bit about what I've learned this year about being present. Once you're there, spend a while reading Lindsey's remarkable prose and observations about her world.
I just turned 40, and I just spent nine months with my husband and two kids in France for reasons that I explain in great detail in this blog.
Now that we're home, we'll see what happens next.
A lot of people ask us how we managed to interrupt our four lives to take this trip. The answer is that we decided we had to, and spent 18 months planning and yanking ourselves out of the terroir in which we were rooted. To Slip out the Back, Jack and Get Yourself Free, at least temporarily, get a copy of the book at the bottom of this page and make your own plan.
So, where've you been since we saw you last?
Aiguines Aix-en-Provence Amherst, Massachusetts Antibes Arles Aups, (most of the time)
Avignon Brooklyn, New York The Camargue Cambridge, Massachusetts Cassis
Chateauneuf The Calanques Cornish/Plainfield, New Hampshire
The honor is mine!
