French Countryside Diaries Ep. 6 | Art, Gardening & Simple Country Living

Welcome back to another episode of French Countryside Diaries.

Today begins with a peaceful cup of coffee accompanied by the sound of guitar music (my husband playing the guitar) then outdoors for breakfast surrounded by nature. I finish varnishing and hanging a bird feeder, complete an abstract painting, spend time planting and watering the garden; with Gaïa our cat keeping a close eye on everything; prepare a homemade lunch, explore the beautiful French countryside on a relaxing walk, and end the day with dinner outside as the sun sets.

Thank you for spending part of your day with me. I hope these little moments bring you a sense of calm and inspiration. If you enjoy peaceful countryside living, I'd love for you to subscribe and join me for the next episode.

Spices are delicious, but a stale spice can easily ruin a dish. However, you are free to try different spice combinations. The secret to making them crispy? Don't bake the chi...

One Day at a Time

One Day at a Time Working out takes courage and self-motivation. It’s not always about losing weight — for me, it's about staying healthy, strong, and grateful that I can move. Whether it's Taekwondo or Zumba, my goal is the same: to stay active, to keep my energy flowing, and to enjoy the process — no stress, no pressure, just one day at a time. At my age, it may be harder to see quick results, but that doesn’t stop me. I focus on progress, not perfection. Some days, I don’t even want to leave the house — but that's when I give myself that little pep talk, reminding myself why I'm doing this. And once I start, no matter how tough the session gets, I’m always grateful I showed up. Because being able to move, stretch, kick, and dance is a blessing — health is true wealth. Every workout is a victory over excuses, a reminder that I am stronger than my doubts. Progress may be slow, but as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Slowly but surely — I’m building s...
