It's a New Year!

A New Year is here, a symbol of time and renewal. I want to look at this coming year as a year of acceptance and yet of resilience and perseverance. I am not one to make New Year resolutions but was  thinking that perhaps there is a real value in resolutions. Here I am at  my computer, desperately trying to come up with a resolution and ...drawing a blank. I guess, I need to be true to myself and just wish you the full enjoyment of the incredibly precious and beautiful gift of life.

Love life

Love and respect nature

Embrace others

Surround yourself with family

Be a good friend

Smile

Laugh

Go for your dreams

BONNE ANNEE!!

A Bientôt,

Francine

Lunch at Pres Catalan in Paris

OMG it is close to 11am and am not even ready... A little too much champagne last night went straight to my head ... I really needed to end 2011with my favorite bubbles. The" By Invitation Only "girls...or ladies are meeting at the Pre Catalan restaurant for a welcome to 2012 luncheon. We will of course gossip,tell stories but also share our thoughts on going forward...

As always, I am running incredibly late. Showered, I will wear my hair in a simple chignon, hardly any make up, throw on my favorite pair of Seven jeans with my softest white T shirt, a touch of Shalimar,  a Chanel Jacket and my Louboutin should do the trick...

Already salivating over the menu...

I cannot quite articulate  my thoughts on "going forward" as I am too involved in the grueling facts of the present. I think I will seat quietly, enjoy the company and the food and listen...
