Bonjour - Return from Biarritz, France!

Bonjour!


I have returned back from my first official trip to Biarritz, France. A coastal city with so much to offer ... I would return to this oasis in a mere moment!

Our travels brought us from Boston to Munich, to Toulouse France, to board a five hour train ride to arrive in Biarritz, France - All in one day- Whew! I have to say, I enjoyed the journey to arrive at our destination.

So fortunate to spend five incredible days in Biarritz, France. Also to visit Saint Jean de Luz (a famous shopping center), and Downtown Biarritz.  This adorable city offers cafe's, restaurants, shopping, beautiful scenery and a breathtaking views.

This photo above was from my second day, on my own, typing away at a French Cafe'. An item I can now cross off my "Bucket List" ... It still feels like a dream in so many ways ...

More to come from this exciting escape ...

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
