“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” —Albert Einstein

My primary focus in the last year or so has been to live with purpose and be present, especially in my personal life. As I want to enjoy every moment with those that I love and continue to embrace and appreciate the beauty in everything around us.

In honor of Earth Day yesterday, I am posting this BEAUTIFUL photo of Provenance from a special person. David is an American now living his dream of A Provençal Life in France. All of the photos in his gallery were taken by him, and he is sharing his journey in France with us. I invite you to visit him @provencallife . Get ready to be transported. 💜💜💜

I continue keeping us in my thoughts and prayers.

“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.” Coco Chanel

The beautiful Monaco Cathedral was built in 1875 using white stones from La Turbie, on the site of a 13th century church dedicated to Saint Nicolas. This is where Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace got married and it houses the tombs of the former Princess of Monaco.

I continue keeping us in my thoughts and prayers. Please be understanding, kind, respectful, compassionate and just with yourself and others.

“Never let it be said that to dream is a waste of one’s time, for dreams are our realities in waiting. In dreams we plant the seeds of our future.” “If you can dream it, you can do it.” ~ Walt Disney

An all time favorite autumnal photo that I am reposting after exactly one year tomorrow. This is Château de Chambord located in Chambord, France in the Loire Valley region. It is said to be one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. Construction started in 1519, how fascinating is that! It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Grateful to my friends at @luxconduct for sharing this MAGICAL photo by @chateaudechambord. 🦌

I continue keeping us in my thoughts and prayers. Please be kind, understanding, respectful, compassionate and just with yourself and others.

Our visit to Palma Mallorca, Spain in late September was unforgettable. A destination that solidified our connection to our heritage. Loved the culture, people and experiences. 🤍
