Hello there. I hope that you have a good week, yes?
I am going into my annual quiet time, where the words start to slip under the covers…
…those of you who have been reading for a while now (merci infiniment!) know that I tend to shift towards the visual as the verbal crosses itself out.
And today was no exception, save for a happy surprise…
…when I opened the shutters with a clank this morning, the sun was bobbing merrily in front of my eyes…
…inviting me out to nose around…
…look deep…
…and let go a little bit.
This has been one of the more gloomy winters I have experienced during my ten in Provence…
…and I certainly was not about to let this budding opportunity to give my salutations to this sun slip beyond my breathy grasp.
Of course there were a few “technical difficulties” as I shifted buttons on my camera to switch from dusky greys to sapphire brights…
…but nothing to keep me from remembering this beauty, one that is immortelle…
…enough to make me dance, to make me dizzy, under a sweeping sky.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Pour mes lecteurs francophones en Provence:
My lovely friend and talented artist Christine Millerin is about to launch a very special workshop on the subject of “Création textile en méditation” in partnership with Isabelle Nyssen at Ms. Nyssen’s Zen Atelier in Arles. Through the use of shiatsu and meditation, one will be able to untie some of the issues from the past all while using textiles to weave together a “relique” fabricated through thoughts and sensations to move forward in harmony. It sounds phenomenal. There are several dates for each three-day workshop:
February 5, 6 and 7th
March 18, 19 and 20
April 15, 16 and 17
Each workshop costs 180 Euros.
For further information, including times and location, please contact Christine at 06 70 76 80 16
or at ch*******@**ee.fr
*In no way is this sponsored, as always, I am just passing along something that I think might be of interest.

PS. I am having some difficulties with Blogger as of late and mysteriously lost a sizeable amount of members on Google Friend Connect overnight (a number that is more than a possible stampede towards the exit!). Of those of you that are still on Blogger, are any of you also having problems? And for those of you that have made the jump to WordPress or your own domain do you like it? Was it hard to make the switch? Thanks for your thoughts…
He has gained too much weight! Not my fault either. Hmmm…. Bisous!
Oh so beautiful!!!(; Am I wrong, or has Kipling put on a little weight?(Which would be good, I think!)Bisous, Silke
Beautiful blue skies Heather…what a treat to be amongst it. I totally get the need to take time out and refresh. I find with each year I need to dig a bit deeper to get back into the swing of things. There is something special about this time in our lives too. Always nice to find inspiration where you least expect. One of life's lovely surprises. I hope there are many for you Heather.. xx
I'll send a couple!
Yes, the gloom is hard to avoid at this time of year, even in Provence, apparently and that is never the case! But these few days have been lovely.
I would love to see a photo of Baby C if you get a chance. 🙂
Same here and it is freaky.
And I am very honored to be amongst your band of favorites, Lisa! 🙂
Thank you so much for this and your email Jackie!
It did feel like a truly wonderful gift, Jenny. I was so grateful for it!
