When People Don’t Support Your Dreams

4 March 2012

I still vividly remember waiting outside her office. Somehow I’d gotten the idea that getting my masters in France was my next big move but I didn’t know how to get from Pennsylvania to Paris. I’d asked one of my university advisors who referred me to an old professor I’d had when I’d just begun [...]

So I bet you didn’t know…

28 February 2012

A couple of months ago, I was “tagged” in a blog post by The Wanderfull Traveller, a fellow professional art lover, world traveler, and regularly commenter here at La Belle in France. The idea is to share 10 things about myself I bet you wouldn’t have necessarily guessed. So here we go…. 10. I love [...]

My Parisian Home

31 August 2011

There is no place like home and there is no place like Paris. So what do you get when you have both? Perfection. And while my new apartment may be small, it’s essentially all mine. I can’t say I have much to complain about. The cute little mug and saucer is a mismatched set of [...]

The Path to Paris

15 August 2011

Expats in France are often asked two questions: “How did you get there?” which is usually soon followed by “How long do you have?” The curiosity is understandable. France has captured the heart of many dreamers each hoping to secure their place in a foreign country, and no expat fully shares the journey of another. [...]

One Long Summer Afternoon

30 July 2011

It should be no secret; I have been M.I.A. from the blogosphere as summer temperatures score to the highest of the nineties. And the clock ticks closer to my departure to Paris, and To-Do lists continue to be ignored (or should I say, unwritten?), but I’m thoroughly enjoying the time I have left in good [...]

Fine Art Friday: The Eiffel Tower and New Horizons

6 May 2011

Well my belle readers, I can finally explain to you why I’ve been kept away from my blog. Since I arrived in Paris nearly two weeks ago, I have had few moments to sit back and relax. Instead I’ve been working on my graduate school applications with universities around Paris. And all that hard work [...]

New Heights

13 January 2011

I’m nearing a fork in the road – no matter which I choose there will be obstacles, rocky climbs and more questions than I can even imagine. Two completely different lives lay ahead of me and I’m thankful I at least have the opportunity to choose. Many of you know that I worked hard at [...]

Catching French Dreams

16 November 2010

I knew when I took this job, it wasn’t the perfect fit but I wanted it anyways and have never second guessed my decision to broaden my professional horizons. I’ve already learned a lot and enjoy working with the professors and students. But the shoe that doesn’t fit properly is starting to give me blisters! [...]
