THE YEAR OF LIVING DIFFERENTLY

L'ANNEE DE TOUS LES CHANGEMENTS

2012 is going to be the year of big changes; two big changes to be precise.

The first one is a biggie: we are moving back to Paris. After 26 years in the United States, it is time we rediscovered living in France. Yes, we could choose a better economy to do this, we could wait for the euro to do this or that, we could make extra, extra sure Europe, and as a matter of fact France, is absolutely where we should go, etc., etc., etc. But then, I do not believe in over thinking things. Planning yes. Over thinking, no. It all makes sense and that's all I want to know. 

For the moment.

The second one is also a change in direction, albeit a "take a slight right" kind of change, as the GPS says. My great friend Abbie and I are starting a textile accessories business. Yes, we could choose a better economy, we could wait for the US dollar to do this or that, and we could wait until we are extra, extra sure this is the right thing to do, etc., etc., etc. We are planning and designing and doing a lot of figuring. It all makes sense.  

For the moment.

It all comes down to this: logistics. (it's always about the logistics, isn't it?) Selling a house, emptying it, finding decent lodgings in Paris, and getting ready for a mid-August trade show in NYC with a collection to be produced in Morocco and India. All that is going to make things how shall I put it, well, challenging. 

To say the least. 

Nothing ventured nothing gained. 

Qui ne risque rien, n'a rien. 

au revoir.
