Introduction Aspiring American writer and decorator, wife of a French-born engineer, mother of an 8 year-old son. Lover of beauty, truth, and goodness, and all that life has to offer. Professional student of life and human nature, living and breathing within a prose comedy of errors and a never-ending sea of breathtaking moments. Please, come. Join me on my travels. I am unsure of where we are headed, but I can certainly promise you an excellent journey.

Never.
