Lately I’ve been writing a lot about a workshop that I’m helping to plan that will take place in the south of France, near Arles, in fall of 2020. Well, just this past week I was finally able to get over there to do a little hands-on, boots on the ground sort of scouting of…

Van Gogh, Reinvention, and other meanderings.
I’ve been thinking a lot about reinvention lately. It seems to be what especially we women do with ourselves, or at least, what I’ve done with myself, what with leaving a career to have children and all. And I can sometimes get discouraged about that. But, I just finished reading a wonderful book- “Range” by…
Workshop in France: Places to Stay and How to Get There.
How to Get There: Travel to Provence will likely not be a direct flight from any US airport, but you can easily book a flight straight through to Marseille with a stop in Paris. A quick flight from Paris will get you to the Marseilles airport, from where you can rent a car and easily…

This is part of what I wrote this after traveling to Burgundy with my beloved mother, who died from breast cancer in 2016. I’m so glad…

Early June 2011, Le Percy, France, in the Trieves region of France… When we travel, we mostly like just to wander. We have a loose…
