\u201dDo you want to meet me in Paris for 4 days next week?\u201d

I actually hesitated. I know! Last minute travel, something my younger self would have immediately responded to. Thankfully, it didn\u2019t take me long to text Marc back, while he was working in Europe last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a trip of a lifetime, and a lifetime of experience in just a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour, to be exact . That\u2019s how long I was with the Waterlilies, one of the most profound art experiences of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just WOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you have graciously shared your own Paris experiences, and I hope to hear more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight was feeling all the great work in person. Seeing it is one thing, being able to feel in \u2018 the real\u2019 oh my. The art, architecture, sculpture, all among this energy of living life creatively, of working at one\u2019s art with the understanding of value. Of purpose.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite pouring cold rain every day, I still saw these glimpses of light, that illuminated the city even on dreary days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I returned inspired to work big.
