Thank you for your sharing your vulnerability so sweetly and poignantly. I'm so glad, and not surprised at all, that your friends came through. I know you have a lovely village of Parisians, I'm excited to join in the fun sooner than later. Always a privilege to be in your global village. Love you loads.
This resonates. Wish I could have been there to be that go-to person for you - would be in a heartbeat! The social fabric is different these days than it used to be. We used to raise barns together and recognize that it truly took a village. Now we have the liberty to leave the village and explore the world, which is an incredible gift, but the village concept has often fallen by the wayside. Been working for years now to “recreate my village” but it’s hard work in this day and age!
Fellow hyper-Independent, perpetually single woman right here too. I can't even FATHOM asking for a ride home from the emergency room. I always joke that I will be the person with their arm falling off and I will DRIVE MYSELF to the ER. I think it's huge to ask for help and also recognize how helpful it was to do so and that you can and will do it again. Hope you're feeling better. I need to get to Paris before that couture exhibit is gone!
Ha I completely understand this!!! I'm getting better at asking for help but man it's hard sometimes! And YES you must see this couture exhibit, it's unreal!

Ohhh thank you Nikki! It's so true, so much has changed, but there are aspects of the village that remain, thank goodness!
