After a full day on the TGV from Biarritz to Paris and Paris to Nice followed by a local train to Menton.  I find myself at the easternmost end of the French Riviera, just east of Monaco and just on the border with Italy. My Airbnb was a 6 block walk from the train station and I was grateful after a...

Happy to finally be in Biarritz I found the taxi queue.  I took it all in, there were families arriving on holiday, there were groups of college age kids and everything in between.  The train station was a buzz from the train’s arrival.  My taxi driver spoke no English so it was my first real ...

I am always playing devil's advocate with myself, I have an inner critic with a giant voice, and it has taken me a long time to decipher through her words and take the things I need to pay attention to and the rest, well that is when I must just tell her to be quiet.

Today, I booked a flight to Paris.  This trip is part healing journey, part future reconnaissance mission and part letting my inner gypsy stretch her wings after a year of staying put!  It has been two years since I have been to the city of lights.  The last time I was in Paris I was a wife, celebra...

Today was a beautiful, warm, sunny day in San Diego.  As my Sunday went by with intentionally less things on my to do list, I found myself early this afternoon debating, do I stay in perhaps enjoy a good book on my balcony, watching the sailboats elegantly glide the waters of the bay or do I leash B...
