Hey Karin, Thanks so much for your comment/s. So many of us are experiencing what you and I have, and the conversation is going to grow bigger and bigger and will be ongoing from here on out. As progress moves along, our identities and how we experience ourselves, express ourselves, and how we can remain whole is part of our consciousness in one way or another. The parameters of the conversation may evolve, but this is one that's here to stay. You can email me at beth@betharnold.com. All my best, Beth

LETTER FROM PARIS: 28 days (without the internet)

About a year ago, I realized I was burned out. “Fried and fragmented” were the words that felt most right to me. For too long I had been flinging pieces of myself haphazardly into cyber space... Continue reading

Hi Kimberly, It was a gorgeous day! Paris is the most beautiful city in the world...hands down, if you ask me. You can always come and enjoy Paris. One of these days, I also want to get to Norway. I want to go Oslo--and get on a boat and hit some of those towns like Bergin and Trondheim. I want to go to Lapland and ride in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. Best wishes, Beth

Jours of Our Lives: 36) WOVEN VOICES
Image
Women were said to leave their house only twice-when they married and when they died. Their only close contact with a larger world was with female relatives, and they used their spare time to weave rugs in which they told their stories in symbols. Creating them was their outlet, their means of self-expression in which they could connect with themselves and the universal spirits who cosmically saw and heard them. I felt conjoined in their sisterhood, their language in art and woven voices. Continue reading

Hi Kimberly, Thanks so much! I really (obviously) love the colors, too, and I love doors. I love photographing doors. So much import and mystery to them. I definitely recommend going to Morocco. I've been twice and would like to go again. Would love to go out into the Sahara on a camel safari. Would like to spend some time on the coast, too, and go back to Marrakech. By the way, my next few posts will be about Morocco, too. So help me spread the word. Thanks so much for writing! Really love to connect to my readers. All best, Beth

He showed us the royal palace, the Tour Hassan, and the rapturous energy of an unfinished mosque...The tower, a chunk of wall, and the silent columns are all that remain. They spoke to us with what I believe was mythic power. Continue reading

Letter From Paris: Books on Paris and The French

To give another French spin: Before the scandal broke, a journalist friend of mine said that some women journalists she had been told about were basically lining up to sleep with DSK since they thought he could become president. Continue reading
