Happy Easter

April 5, 2012

Picture taken of the cat next door after I fished her out from under my bed. She used to try to come in our apartment all the time when she was a kitten. She is super friendly and just beautiful. She is most likely a Van Cat. If we ever add another cat to our [...]

My journey

April 4, 2012

…Is taking on a more planned out feel to it than it has ever before. I know where we are headed and it is just a matter of staying the course. There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting. Buddha Sooner or later we [...]

Switzerland equals home

April 3, 2012

We have decided to stay in Switzerland. We couldn’t use Vilay’s pension as a downpayment to construct a house in France unless we were already living in France. We could wait for my French citizenship to arrive in the mail and move to France. Afterwards, we could build in France. Yet, I think things happen [...]

November 25, 2011

I have taken some pictures with the idea of sharing them here. During the past several months, I have only taken pictures to share with family on facebook. I was just kinda hanging on and taking it day by day until things settled down a little. So. There is this thing that got in the [...]

Too quiet

February 13, 2011

Yesterday, my children went with my In-Laws to France where they will stay for a week during their school vacation. It is nice to have them off having fun during a week that I know will be stressful for Vilay and I. I am starting my first week at my new job, we need to [...]

keeping it all together

February 7, 2011

Is a must right now. We are making one plan after another to get our family where it needs to be. Everything is up in the air. We are waiting for it to all float back down where it belongs. I haven’t slept much since last Wednesday. Last night, I slept like a baby. [...]

Life isn’t easy

February 6, 2011

But it is full of surprise. I found a job. Contract is in hand. We have become crazy looking for childcare solutions in a Canton that isn’t very supportive of women that would like to work. The job is such a huge opportunity that I will do whatever it takes not to lose it before [...]

Me

Being happy

January 27, 2011

My new line of attack is the same one that I used against simple and little mean minds in the States…KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS. Always has worked for me and I am sure it will continue to do so. Really just amazed at the complete and total rudeness of some people in this village. I [...]

My mind tells me

January 20, 2011

…to follow my dreams. My heart says…I told you so! I want to make my passion become my work. Just as my husband has done with watchmaking. My passions are photography and society. It is all about capturing those little moments when we are most ourselves. When we are just living our lives without posing [...]

About driving

January 14, 2011

Yesterday, I drove a friend. To an appointment in La Chaux-de-fonds. It is about a half hour drive. It was rainy. No big deal. On the way home. It was still raining. Lightly. It was dark. Very dark. Insert a second of cold fear. Where I felt my heart stop. After that second passed. I [...]
