If something takes your breath away......you feel surprise and admiration because it is so beautiful or exciting.
You've experienced moments like that and so have I. They remain engraved in your mind and, when positive, they're easily recalled, cause you to break a smile or shed a happy tear, and afford you a momentary escape from the daily grind.
If any city in the world can boast the ability to "take your breath away" , it surely is Paris. Her monuments are iconic, her soul deeply rooted and her culture... seemingly endless. Other world cities can undoubtedly boast similar claims, but Paris is the one I know best.
Come with me...In this short little book I share with you twenty-five moments when Paris took my breath away. From wherever you read the book... whether at home in an armchair, during a break at work or on a plane to your own destination I invite you to:
- Stroll with me along the grand boulevards.
- Join me as I discover the Sainte-Chapelle's stained glass.
- Watch a master-barterer get out-smarted at her own game.
- Explore the famous Shakespeare & Co. bookstore, and
- Take in the entire city from atop the dome of Sacré Coeur
These very short stories - all true - make the book very easy to pick up and put down for those quick "in-between"moments.My Goal...
One needn't look very hard for moments that take your breath away, they abound. All you need is to give room to a bit of quiet thoughtfulness, to be mindful of your surroundings and most importantly... to be present, or, "in the moment."
By sharing my own "take-my-breath-away" moments, I hope you'll be inspired to look for your own such moments of beauty and excitement. They abound... and not just in Paris.
