LIFESTYLE - Our Paris
Our one real monument to a life well-lived, that accurately paints a picture of the life we're trying to lead, was our trip to Paris. It was a week-long, budget friendly adventure with our dearest cousins, that has set a standard for us. It has somehow become this beacon of light in the drudgery of the mundane day-to-day. A reminder of who we really are, stripped of the weights and burdens that we tend to place on ourselves. In fact, I believe our "Paris selves" are the people we were truly meant to be. I won't delve into the details of those two individuals, but I'm sure anyone reading this may be able to relate. We all have an image, and maybe even a spiritual reverberation humming inside, of who we really are. That ideal or picture-perfect us is what drives us to keep moving forward. As my wife and I contemplate a return to Paris, I thought it would be helpful to keep track of our Paris loves, and to maybe even make note of new adventures we should consider while there. While this is really just a motivational exercise for me, I thought some of you may enjoy learning about some of the things we enjoyed in Paris. This will be updated periodically, so don't be surprised if you notice changes.

Ayesha, maybe I will share a bit more about our Parisian sensibilities in the near future. But you and your hubby should definitely go. We were blessed to have super-cool travel companions, but it would be awesome as just a couple's excursion. Would love to hear/see pics of places you two have traveled to.
