Celebrate!

That’s what I feel like doing! For years, I struggled to post and add photos of the moments that filled my life, feeling like I was missing out on capturing so much. But now, with the incredible new platform created by Kari and Dan, I finally can express myself. 

The doors are wide open!

I want to run, jump, dance—celebrate all of you who visit my blog and share in this journey with me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being here. I’m ready to celebrate every day with the photos and stories I’ve wanted to share but was limited. Here’s to us and to all the beautiful moments ahead!

In the heart of my journey, I’ve discovered something truly special: the sweetness of gathering together. Through the connections I have made through blogging, the emails, comments, and those of you who have come to visit me, and or been part of the French la Vie journeys we have had seen the magic that the blog has allowed; heartfelt conversations, shared stories, tender moments, laughter, and friendships.

The French la Vie journeys aren’t just about the brocante, the food or the scenery; they’re about the memories we create together. We laugh, we learn, and we celebrate the simple joys of life. It’s a space where everyone is welcomed, and each voice adds to the experience. I have been fortunate to have met so many of you. I am also sincerely grateful to the Red Shed Tour who has reached out to me to aid them with their groups to Provence.

 I want to express my gratitude to my wonderful friends in Provence. Who have opened their doors to me, creating a welcoming space for my French la Vie journeys.Their generosity allows us to experience life in their homes. Beyond the facade, and storefronts.

    I can see why you are excited. It’s beautiful change.

  3. Dear Corey, you have opened so many doors for me. You have overcame home sickness and have created a wonderful life in France. I know many people would have enjoyed your hospitality and discovered so much of Provence. We did visit Provence once in 2010, only wished I had found you before visiting magical France. I think you came into my life in 2011! 🇦🇺

  4. Love all these photos, especially the one of you tanned and smiling an raising a toast.

    Well Corey, I have been following you for many years. I’ve never been to France but I thoroughly enjoy your stories. What a privilege to be able to follow along as your family grows and changes.
    Your new blog is lovely and I will continue to follow along and vicariously enjoy traveling to France.

  6. That quote says it all.
    It’s how we feel when we travel. The people we meet. The connections we make.
