Paris Inspirations
When I came home to Paris this time, I looked around my computer office. I have several places I ‘hang out’ in my Paris apartment, a cozy little red sitting room full of hearts and art I love (it’s a small room, and also where I watch movies, read, or do needlepoint, it’s my ‘cozy spot’ next to my bedroom, and I have a room similar to it in San Francisco). I have a more grown up office, where I read serious papers, and do notes on things to work on when I go back to San Francisco. And I also have a tiny little cozy space off my kitchen where my computer is, which I only use for emails. And on the walls of my computer cubby hole I have framed sayings that I love which inspire me about how to live life. I am always finding sayings I love, and instead of trying to remember them, I frame them and put them on the walls, and look at them often. And I thought I’d share some of them with you here, since they have helped me, inspired me, gave me strength when I needed it, or just make me laugh. So here they are. Most of them are attributed to someone, I don’t know if those attributions are accurate. I find these sayings in magazines, on greeting cards, in books, on post cards, just about anywhere they turn up.

“It doesn’t matter how slowly you go-so long as you do not stop.”-Confucius
Uplifting! I have a few of these saying around my house too, but it’s always good to see new ones.
Thanks for sharing.

As a child I found an old book that was my Dad’s. I don’t know who wrote in his book or who’s words they are, but I have always remembered them.
The world is a like a mirror reflecting what you do, and if you face it smiling, it smiles right back to you. (Anon)
Have a great May!
I love your books! I come from a Polish.
I love these two quotes:
“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything they have.”
“Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and enjoy your hot chocolate.”
But my favorite quote is:
“A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”
Eleanor Roosevelt.
Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breathe away.
I do the best that I can with the skills that I have at that particular time.
Hello Danielle! (Does that sound too familiar?)
I just found your blog last night! How nice of you to communicate with us this way! I will check it daily… 🙂
I love quotes, too; that’s a nice idea to frame our favorite ones.. I have a little day-to-day calendar and I just came across this very special quote, and knowing that you are such a romantic, too, I thought you’d like it: “What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.” ~ Aristotle
I’ve enjoyed reading your ‘About Me’ section and the sections about your kids and your dogs… 🙂 I’m sorry that you are alone right now (so am I…); I admire your honesty about not liking being single… I hate when single women act like they are totally happy with their singleness when you know they aren’t… I hope you find a romance as wonderful as all the romances you have written!
I’m reading your newest novel, Matters of the Heart, right now… and I am totally loving it! I wish you could live forever so that I could read your novels forever! Every single novel moves me to tears… Sometimes, I’ll be 3/4 through the book and think, “Wow, this novel hasn’t made me cry?” Soon enough, though, the tears come before the book is over… It’s so nice to be moved that way…
Well, enough for now… Thank you for all that you’ve shared… 🙂
