Nine years ago today I turned thirty and took myself to Paris, the city of my heart. My dear friend, Joy, joined me and we arrived in Paris on a bitter cold birthday morning. We stayed in a friend’s apartment in Montmartre and made our way to a warm, cozy cafe to have an early lunch. A rare Parisian snow began to fall while we were eating at a local cafe. As one who loves snow, this was the icing on my birthday cake. What a way to welcome in 30! I remain forever grateful.
