Reflections from the South of France

Today is Monday. I arrived in Cannes on Friday. I am traveling on business and my flight arrived shortly after my colleagues, so they were waiting for me outside of customs in Nice. We hopped on a bus and arrived in Cannes around 3PM. Even though I felt like a zombie, since the flight over [...]

Watch your words as you may be forced to eat them!

Trying to remember that phrase exactly, but I’m sitting in Cannes, France right now, getting ready for the start of the film festival. Between the jet lag, all the wine I had last night, and the fact that I’m in a lovely apartment in the South of France sitting on a terrace in the sun [...]

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Welcome to my world…..

I am a woman of a certain age – late 40’s to be exact. Look, I’m not going to give up the exact age, so get over it.  Two years ago I found myself struggling to hold together a marriage to an philandering alcoholic. One day I finally woke up and thought “Why am I [...]
