Hello everyone, It is April already and here on the Cote d’Azur spring is fully in bloom. Once again the purple wisteria is covering wrought iron gates and climbing the stone walls. Even the oaks that cover the hills behind Mane and Fils are finally popping their tiny green leaves. …

Well….lots of time has passed since my last entry and also many thoughts and events. First and foremost, I decided to work toward finding ways to stay in France! This part of the decision was clinched when a perfumery student from this year decided not to take over my apartment. …

Another year gone by- it’s amazing how quickly! In 18 days, it will be the one year anniversary since my arrival in Paris. And so much has happened since then. Now I am standing at another cross-roads; waiting to know how to commence from here. In the meantime, it is…

Today was the last day of school and in the evening as I walked through the rooms turning off all the lights, I was struck with how fast time goes by. So much has happened since the beginning, since I first entered this space- tears, fights, camaraderie, many shared lunches…

HI Jess, How are you? Happy belated bday! It is April 19th here in Nelson and…DUMPING SNOW!!!IT is kind of ugly, cold and grey, but nice to here spring is actually arriving somewhere. Yesterday Gemelya and I went out to protest at the Prestige, Gordon Campbell was in town, and was greeted with a Kootenay welcome. 400 angry, concerned citizens. IT was fun, inspiring, and Gemelya was right into it. I am not sure if you’ve heard but they are going to start allowing private companies(mostly American) to build small damns on hundreds of rivers in BC. Scary stuff! Anyway,
on another note, I bumped into Stephane Fournier yesterday and he’s going to be in Grasse in a couple of weeks with his girlfriend. He said he would love to have a cafe with you! Email me if you want his email.
I see Marianne around and she seems as happy and beautiful as usual. Also, Klara’s baby Isla is gorgeous. I have only seen her when she was 12 hours old, but will see her this week sometime. She will be one month old on Sunday. Klara seems to be doing well and adjusting to the demanding life of motherhood.
Anyway, I am off to the cornerstore in the slush to buy butter, then off to teach my class at noon. Yoga is going well, I am teaching my 3 classes a week at the studio, + a few extra subbing opportunities. I am also volunteering at the Middle School, and high school.
School is finally done. Well, for the semester. I did really well this semester. I am very inspired to keep going with it, despite how challenging it is at times. Maybe go on to do a law degree one day, who knows.
Well, love you Jess,
Take Care,
Cindy
