Déborder

Déborder (Fr.) / Overflow (Eng.) v.: to fill beyond capacity; to have boundless supply; to flow or run over the top.

This has definitely been one of the most memorable summers of my life.

I have given myself permission to lean into it and to get lost in the non-stop joyful experiences that it has produced. It was the epitome of the work hard/ play hard philosophy. Sure, there were times when I thought "Good grief, I should hop off this ride and catch my breath. This is too much for one girl to take in." But instead of listening to that voice of lack, I did the opposite and am now able to take a step back and reflect on everything that has been happening.

So bear with me as I begin to recap this summer's incredible journey filled with surprise birthday parties in Bourgogne, jet skiing in Cannes, dining alfresco in Aix en Provence, Gay Pride weekend in Paris, first class train trips to Amsterdam, world horticultural exhibition in Venlo, and the trip of a lifetime through Italy. All to be captured somehow over the next few posts.

My cup runneth over.
