Health isn’t just about discipline, checklists, or doing more. Sometimes it looks like a walk in the woods, a nervous system finally exhaling, and billions of tiny villagers inside you responding to beauty, movement, nourishment, and rest.

Just returned from nine glorious days in France—a country I've come to know better over the past couple of years—and each visit leaves me with an intense desire to return and explore more of its corners. 

This trip was especially sweet: my daughter, working in Paris for the Para Olympics, had been persistently nudging me to join her post Olympics to explore. 

My husband was working in Lyon, my son in Croatia, and we all found ourselves convening in Paris, coinciding perfectly with my daughter's engagement in Provence!
