Went to Paris (and Champagne!)

Drank juice cause hashtag wellness (pictured here front and center so y’all understand I drink juice, and that’s it’s ‘on brand’ for me). Came out of my winter cocoon even more. Laughed hard, and then even harder.

And this is it. Each little trip, each time I spend in connection with people I love. It’s constant reinforcement:

We. Need. Community. And we need time away from our normal routine. And we need rest. And replenishment. Now, more than ever.

What’s more than that: We deserve it.

Y’all, jeez, I preach self love a lot. I believe it’s a holistic 360° thing. I truly do. And that relationship to self is SO important.

But damn, if there is one thing that’ll really soothe your soul and regulate your nervous system, and make you feel alive — it’s friends. And community. And connection. The collective. And laughter. In a world where we’re stepping away from that, let’s move towards it. Again and again and again.

Shameless plug: Looking to meet cool like-minded people? Come on retreat with me this summer in Sicily or Puglia!!

Not pictured:
-butter slathered on bread like frosting
-the three rotisserie chickens we consumed in ~72 hours
-two separate dinners on the floor, not the table (my forever preference)
-sprinkles of culture, lots of creams and potions, shopping, walking, some yoga, belly laughs, freezing cold weather
-infinite discussions on Europe vs. USA (my fave thing to think/talk/muse about)
-more butter
-baguette, croissant, crookie, chocolat chaud, brioche, macaron, chocolate, treats, a sugar fest.
