To Paris with Love

I had the loveliest time in Paris, exploring the different museums and tourist sites. Doing yoga in front of the Eiffel Tower. Wandering the catacombs and the Pere Lachaise cemetery. The light and dark aspects of the city, and life, but all things beautiful. Delicious food and wine. Pain au Chocolat and eclairs. La Galarie Dior. Champagne at the foot of Sacre Coeur. By foot and on metro, covering kilometer after kilometer each day, then getting up each morning to head out again. Basking in the sun, and soaking up the raindrops.    

5 Ways to Maintain Lifelong Friendships

Friendship is one of the most important things in life. Friends provide us with companionship, support, and laughter. One of the great challenges of friendship is personal growth, because if you grow in opposite directions or at different speeds, you may eventually feel that you have little in common. However, it is important to make an effort to maintain our friendships, as they can play a vital role in our health and happiness. It can be hard work, but if you can weather the storm and maintain friendships along the different stages in your life, you’ll reap the benefits.
