Moi

Paris is my hobby, my obsession and my dream. And sharing, as they told us in grammar school, makes it even more tasty. And therefore I want to share with my current friends and those I haven't met yet. As I slaved away for decades behind a desk I daydreamed about Paris. I am an American. I think like one, dress like one and value my "Americanism." But I go to Paris understanding that the charm is indeed different than what I see everyday. And I embrace those differences. But each time see Notre Dame, or the flower markets, have a cafe au lait, its is like the first time. And I remain perpetually surprised at my own joy. Come along and we'll ramble. Kathy

I suffer from OWP...Obsessed With Paris

People frequently ask me about my obsession with Paris.  My first visit was in 2000. It was my 50th birthday year. (Geez-so it was really my 51st and I start our relationship by shaving just a bit)
But the way I view my world changed during that visit.  Since that first little virginal trip I have made at least one trip a year.  Sometimes I will eek out two trips in the same year if I don't mind watching my credit card limit inch to the horizon.  Actually I always thought it would be dreary to die with "paid in full" stamped across my tomb.

But I'm wandering.  Paris is the story.  I want to share that story with my current friends and those friends I haven't met yet.  I want to share my experiences as "everywoman," and inspire you to take the leap.  Search out a flight, book a hotel, don't wait for a partner.  Just get out there and live.  My writing will focus those "Paris snapshots" that we feel and see and taste.

And if your really interested in rambling around Paris for a couple days this winter, throw off the cloak of caution, leave "the attitude" at home and join me. Contact me at kathy.parisblooms4u@gmail.com.
