I asked you for questions you have about the Paris Storytelling Workshop I’m attending (and fundraising for) this summer and the second one was –
What Storytelling in Paris?
I love this question because it helped me revisit all that I went through in 2024 – if you were here, you might remember my beloved dog, Chloe, as she became sick and died during the year.
Along with that, I almost lost my business, my marriage hit a rough patch, my youngest left for college, one of my best friends of 30 years moved away, and more.
I sat on the back deck with Chloe as she warmed herself in the sun. I thought about how I was turning 50 (which I did in November 2024) and how I still hadn’t made it to Paris.
I’ve always wanted to go to Paris. Something has always stopped me.
And right then, in the middle of bleeding money and wild transitions full of grief, i decided that I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT TO PARIS IN 2025.
How? No idea.
Well, now I know how, and I am wildly happy.
