Living at The Plaza Hotel

I indulged once more this year with opening Eloise by Kay Thompson - what a dream to plunge right into the world of this precious little girl who lives at The Plaza Hotel - a theatre where people come and go to experience what is a luxury while our little girl lives luxury every day because she is.

''Cabbage makes great hat'' she says and her mother knows Coco Chanel.

How wonderful to have this confidence and trust in one opinion and no one to tell you that you are prejudiced to believe in a dream and follow your desire such as pouring a jug of water in the hotel mailbox, just because you can.

I wish everyone to find their inner Eloise: talk to Martians one day, be a dragon or giant another, a mother of 40 children or a doctor. Make also your home, a place of fete and play where everyone is fabulous and loving, leaving you to do whatever you want!

Those two questions are set to gauge both interlocutors' status. It is quite sad, the longer the title and list of places you go to, the more you appear awesome. Truth to be told, I love working from home and have a family to come back to after a long day making decisions. In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?' At least, you will connect mo...

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?
