I had troubles sleeping, my thoughts were constantly jumping from ruminations of the past into irrational future worries. When it became way too much my mind suddenly came to the conclusion: Leave the past and the future where they belong and rest where you are now! I felt much better immediately. This was the cure. This is always the cure! Giving-in to the moment and simply falling into being. I finally fell asleep.

One of my best friends Matthias came to visit Sarah and me in Paris. We walked for miles and miles, talking and dreaming and fueling ourselves with ideas and delicious food. We went to Frank Elbaz (which is always worth a visit) and Palais de Tokyo, laying in the grass at Buttes-Chaumont and ended the day at one of our favorites Ama Siam.

Carlo and Hannah were also in town and we all went to Senegalese restaurant Waly-Fay. Next day apéro and dinner at Martin with the crew, including our new friends Loft and Pernilla, which was wonderful.

This Week’s Wisdom from Maya Angelou:“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
