La Belle Vie

               Am I happy about the recent election here in the US?
 Well... non.


For many reasons.....  let's explore...     I disagree with the overall tone of the new administration - and administration is the word and tone is too subtle -

come on!!!

It's 2017!! : multiculturalism is, almost,  out!! Except with you. Who are you????

Where is your fear coming from?
Feel it and tell me. Feel it and explain it to me as best you can.
Do we not want the same things:  family, food, fun.    ????
Do we not????

My walk, my simple walk with my simple dog in my simple park is so sacred I can almost not profess it.  You have to know the same things - you have a dog. You have a child. Why don't you want the world to live - for more children? for more dogs?  - for more people who breathe for the first time that day when they walk their dog - ......for all of us?  Is it so hard to take care of your Mother???

Not gonna get me down.  Freedom isn't free.  And don't take the good life for granted.

My 2017 goals for this blog

I just need to write more, for one thing!
 The purpose of this blog is for me (and anyone else who enjoys it) to reinforce the belief that life is created by your thoughts and to keep myself on track with those thoughts and subsequent actions. It's not realistic for me to think that I'll be moving to Paris anytime soon: I appraise real estate and have no license to do so in France, we own a few properties in the Cleveland area that we also manage and my husband's job is representing manufacturing business in Ohio. But I so love the joie de vivre of the stereotypical Parisienne and I know it would be easier to embrace this living amongst other practitioners in that gorgeous city with it's beautiful buildings and life affirming scenes on every corner. So I created this blog - Paris on the Cuyahoga - to bring Paris to me. Both Paris and Cleveland are cities divided in half by a river, the Seine and the Cuyahoga respectively so I found this to be appropriate.

In 2017 I will write more.

In the current political climate I've been more active than I've ever been (well, since the 1960s and '70s) and that is very European. Maybe we've taken our freedoms for granted just a bit too much.

I've been implementing and experimenting some facial massage and other facial care products that I will share.

I am valuing my time with my family more.

I am constantly curating my life so that it holds only the best for me and my loved ones.

So I guess my goals are to keep on and keep up. Consistency is key.

Please comment if you have any ideas, questions or ??? for me. I'd love to hear from you.
