The way I perceive the world, the way I conduct myself in conversations, and even the way I handle stress. Many aspects of my personality have changed (for what I believe) for the better. I finally feel as though I am coming into my own. Without leaving for those four short months, I would have never had the opportunity to expand my horizons and begin the journey to find my true bliss.<br /><br />I am beginning to realize that I have a very restless heart. The world is so vast and beautiful, I need to find a way that will permit my exploration.<br /><br />I will forever be found in translation.Megshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18258114862569103309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533161952050383648.post-6402813642890316672009-01-11T04:36:00.003+01:002009-01-11T04:39:08.821+01:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="sqq">“The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love<br />and be loved in return.”</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="sqq"> - Moulin Rouge</span><br /></div>Megshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18258114862569103309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533161952050383648.post-66145405264944621472008-12-27T06:14:00.004+01:002009-02-21T23:32:47.273+01:00Merci Beaucoup.<div style="text-align: center;">Thank you Paris.<br />Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the world.<br />Thank you for introducing me to some of the most amazing people,<br />and for creating the most unforgettable of memories.<br />Thank you for making me appreciate my home,<br />and for making me crave the sights, tastes, scents, and textures of the rest of the world.<br />Thank you for helping me find myself,<br />I was never going to find her if I had always stayed in Rhode Island.<br />Thank you for your magic,<br />I will always love you.</div>Megshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18258114862569103309noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533161952050383648.post-17050621520483711582008-12-24T15:52:00.005+01:002009-02-21T23:35:54.315+01:00It's official...<div style="text-align: center;">I have jumped the pond and for some reason they have let me back into the mother land.<br />After a grueling day of traveling, I was welcomed to the most heart-warming of hellos a girl could ask for.

First of all, when ordering a turkey at the corner butcher, you must request for the bird to be dead. If not, they will hand you a live turkey. No thanks! Secondly, its near impossible to find the ingredients and treats that we take for granted back home. Thankfully off of Rue St. Paul, there is a wonderful <a href="http://www.thanksgivingparis.com/">petite epicery </a>which imports our delightful American delicatessens.<br /><br />On a more grateful note:<br />I am so thankful for the amazing people in my life, the year I have had, and the future that awaits me.<br />I miss you all so much. Eat lots of extra helping of desserts for me.<br />I am celebrating my day of thanks with Ali's family. Hopefully my dessert doesn't poison anyone. Good thing I'm bringing a bag of cookies as a surrogate.<br /><br />Love love<br />-M<br /><br /><br />I love and miss you all!Megshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18258114862569103309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533161952050383648.post-75810215058751297432008-11-25T18:48:00.002+01:002009-02-21T23:30:37.221+01:00Only in Paris.<c>Where else in the world would I take university courses in the same court yard <a href="http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/">Alexander McQueen</a> designs his art?<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_AWBnbrTkz0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_AWBnbrTkz0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></c?Megshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18258114862569103309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533161952050383648.post-49071386080026065232008-11-23T13:26:00.002+01:002009-02-21T23:30:37.221+01:00Thank you Mother Nature.<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzILnbP1V8e9xWE7wh4Qz5pofXMoLeRCvhIKmpot1eLuSwiR77gUr5ei0-zD7ERQZnc0XOYjV9TW2PqYwRPaQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Megshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18258114862569103309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533161952050383648.post-54413550918459306452008-11-21T23:31:00.009+01:002009-11-11T22:55:23.649+01:00When Rhody comes to play.<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">It is always a wonderful treat to have friends from home come visit.<br />It almost legitimatized Paris as my home.<br />My lovely ladies from URI came for a visit.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">La belle Allison attempting to fit in.</span></span> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>I think she could potentially pass as a Frenchie.</em></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ePMfdsTQwvM/SSc4Usb6FTI/AAAAAAAACCE/bLpURz00eTQ/s1600-h/CIMG2208.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271243817037206834" style="WIDTH: 240px;
