Introduction

I like long walks on the beach and romantic dinners by candle light---oh wait, wrong website. Let's start over. I like jogs on the beaches of California but for the last year, I've given that up to live in France. Full time Au Pair to three French children, part time Freelance Writer and if there's time leftover, I'm awesome. Flan and crepes are the best things that France ever invented. End of story. Passion, laughter and lip gloss are a must. Ignorance can be left at the door. Same with beef jerky and bad manners. I eat laffy taffy for the jokes on the wrappers and there isn't a hot sauce I won't try. I'm allergic to all things that I don't like. And this is my goal: Live with intention. Continue to travel, to experience, to admire beauty and encounter new cultures. Achieve balance and practice patience. Take deep breaths. Take my time. Be confident but humbled. Assertive with compassion. Enjoy life, enjoy people and brake for a piece of dark chocolate, a good Merlot and a good laugh.
