Carried my luggage up 5 flights of stairs. I’m really glad I went for the medium sized luggage and only 3 pairs of chausseurs.

Met my flat mates. Three very attractive French men.. Weeeeeeee!! Haha.. I mean, Oui. ;)

Today I dressed in shades of blue and green I had selected for my flight.

Sleep is a wonderous thing.
Last night I was cursing my suitcase and my limited wordrobe for the next 7 weeks.
I was doubting the harebrained decision that brought me to this precipice of the journey I’m about to go on.
I could only be grumpy about the idea of it all. What was I thinking?!

Comfy blue and green tweed skirt with tights and tall black boots. A blue lace cami under a denim button up and my retro blue dress coat.

Comfy for traveling and well dressed enough to get first class if it is available.
I checked the mirror. I saw a classy lady.

I went through security and the female TSA agent gushed over my outfit.

Yep, I’m ready for Paris.

In 30 days I dive head first into the adventure of a lifetime.  I am so excited I could just jump out of my skin.

Are you a dreamer?

Do you have hopes, desires and aspirations for yourself and your life?  It wasnt until recently that I very much identifiy with that label.  I have always been this way, and I have in sense, made a life for myself because of my willingness to chase those dreams.  When I first started photography years ago I did it because I enjoyed it… I didnt really know I could make a career out of it..  but I dreamed of be able to have that as my career.  Here I am 8 years later…   my dream a reality.  Living a life that is fulfilling, challenging and rewarding because I took that step into the unknown.

I am heading to Paris for the next two months.  I’m also taking a lil trip to Morocco and Amsterdam while I am abroad.  What is the point of dreaming if you dont try and make it a reality?

A couple years ago I said to myself I would love to live in the beautiful city of Paris for awhile.  If you’ve read the Alchemist, then you understand the sentiment of how the universe can conspire to help you once  you make your intentions known.. and I feel like just that is what has happened..  I couldnt have orchestrated my life better this past year to prepare for the freedom that I now have to leave my life here and just “Be” in the City of lights.

So off I go in just a months time to be and breath and live.  Someone pinch me.
