Every once in a while something magical happens and in this case, it was Paris. My second trip to Paris, unlike, my first was more of a maturation process for me in that I could actually take in the sights and sounds of the city for greater than three days.

It's always amazing and humbling when you can reach out to friends/family and have them respond with, "Of course, it's no problem at all."

I grew up this particular summer, I embraced a couple fears, I experienced new things, but most importantly, I found a piece of myself which had been missing for some time.

Merci beacoup...
