Oh, mon Dieu! I nearly forgot --
The Bold Soul is THREE YEARS OLD TODAY!
It is hard to believe but it's true... I started this blog on February 25, 2005. My stated goal, in that first post, was that I wanted to be a writer, and to be a writer in Paris. I was shocked to get two comments on that first post, one from a dear friend but one from a total stranger; I still have no idea how someone discovered my blog so quickly.
In those days, I thought I would write about what it was like to be over 40 and single in Paris. I never thought beyond the "being single" part, and therefore it was never in my "plan" to meet and fall in love with a Frenchman. It just shows you that sometimes, the Powers That Be in the Universe know what we need, better than we know for ourselves.
And so, here I am, three very happy years later. In Paris. A Writer. And sitting next to the One I waited for my entire life, who just happened to turn out to be in the one place I always wanted to live.
Thanks for reading, commenting, encouraging, telling your friends, and coming back again and again. I can't wait to see what Year Four of this blog will bring... I have some pretty good ideas, of course, but I guess we'll all have to stick around and find out, together.
