The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is simple: they take action. Nobody is ever ready not even the people you think have it all figured out.

So don’t wait until everything feels or looks perfect. It’s better to try and fail than never to try and it’s okay to fail more than once before you get it right you can only learn by moving.

I’m saying this to myself as much as to you so here’s to a bountiful November🥂 and its okay to feel seen.

Share with someone who is contemplating launching their first business, moving to a new country, switching careers after 35, quitting to build their own thing or finally saying “I want more.” This might be the sign they need and if this resonates, like or leave a comment. by @catwona

A Love Letter to the South of France from an Art Lover.

Dear South of France,

Thank you for extending yourself to me in the form of Art, in this extraordinary place born of pure friendship between a couple and their artist friends, who built this home of beauty together.

I understand now why they never wanted to leave.

Signed With Love,

📍The Maeght Foundation, Saint Paul de- Vence by @catwona

Two weeks later and I’m still thinking about this place.

A library-café hidden in Saint-Tropez, brunch among the Taschens, Basquiat and Frida watching from the shelves, and a Matisse book I absolutely had no choice but to take home.

Some places you visit, some you inhabit for an afternoon, this was definitely the second kind. Still one of my highlights of a day well spent under Tropezian skies.

Tell me the most beautiful bookshop you’ve ever been in, or the one on your wishlist. Building my list for the next city.

I’ve always been fascinated by businesses that have lived through generations of the same family.

Coming from a place and living in a time where building for permanence feels almost extinct, I find myself wanting to dig deeper into what it actually takes, the vision, the discipline, the patience, the handling over.

So if like me, you are curious about how to build to last, take this as your sign not just to hear these stories, but to be inspired to build something that outlives you.

Cheers to a weekend of drinking cuvée rosés 🥂 by @catwona

The only walk I need to reset mentally is through the vineyards and lush gardens of a private estate in Saint-Tropez, with four generations of winemaking beneath my feet and a limited edition cuvée rosé in hand.

Everyone knows this village for its summer parties, fewer know it as the fishing port that seduced painters long before it seduced the jet setters and thats the Saint-Tropez I came for to mark another year around the sun in good company.

I arrived the way the painters did by sea, tasted special cuveé rosé at the source, found a Matisse art book in a hidden cafe-librairie and slow wander through the old port and its painted streets and yes, the sunglasseses are @parfois élégante under a blinding Riviera sun.

This is the Saint-Tropez beyond the beach clubs. by @catwona

My favorite month in the year, reminds me so much how am loved by God, family, friends, total strangers and even the little community am growing here.

This June came with an unexpected spark and goodluck charm.
