Rest assured, there will be no great philosophical thesis early this morning. Only a few short celebrations… the self-persuasion method… these days… anyway…
1/ Getting some fresh air… Going out on a family trip, all four of us: my teenager’s idea, he chose the destination, the hotel… No need to tell you that we weren’t embarrassed by the idea and we jumped on a plane to Stockholm. A true small anti-depression bubble: calm, rest (night falls at 4 PM), the sea, the forest… and ABBA!
2/ Cultivating your garden… With a visit to the Ateliers de Paris. It is kind of our own (little) Villa Medici. Over there, young artists in residence explore, dissect, experiment… Fully embroidered herbaria, weavings made with Japanese paper, glass trellised panels… Hours upon hours of passionate work channelled toward creation and ideas. It feels so good!
3/ Food for the soul… or soul put into food! A new restaurant in Paris, a small gem run by two hipsters who cook and arrange each plate like it was their last. Diligence, inspiration, passion on the plate… You come out with a full stomach and a light spirit. (Eskal, that’s its name…).
4/ Getting an overview… (Or getting it away?) Let’s not fly off the handle in mid-air, let’s think twice before writing a murderous email, especially here… We are better than that, right? Benevolence, good vibes, it’s good for the complexion. And even if inner beauty is not within our competence (although…), know that, for outer beauty, we have a few ideas!
Have a nice weekend,
Camille
