Le Papillon (TSLL’s House)

A house becomes a home when it becomes our sanctuary. Our space to be our most true and authentic selves, our space to explore, relax and be comforted. Our space to find rejuventation. Our space to share our journey as well as let our curiosities run free.

TSLL’s House, named Le Papillon (the butterfly) will never be complete, but it certainly is a sanctuary, and thus a home. In fact, Le Papillon inspired the title and the indirect focus of my latest book (2022), The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment. In the posts shared below, a glimpse of the projects and inspiration that my house has gifted to me.

Happy Monday and welcome to a new week where one month dances into a new month. Speaking of new ➡️ New on the blog, this week's Monday Motivational post - A Daily State of Calm: A Necessity to Living Well . Discover how you know you are readily in such state and how to return to it if you are not. Also, the valuable importance of this powerful skill. 

This image captures the clarity gained when all is calm as we slipped up to the mountain this weekend for a short romp on the classic skis. Hoping your weekend was rejuvenating and exactly what you had desired. Bonne journée 😌
Walking on clouds of snow these two for our morning weekend snow venture!
An excerpt to bring a deep reassuring breath of calm and steadiness confirming that you are on the path that is uniquely made for you: From the January 28th entry, titled "Your Journey" found in the January chapter, "Let Go of What Doesn't Work, and Embrace the Unknown" in #tsll3rdbook  The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment

A moment captured earlier this week as I and Norman settled down in the evening while Little One revved up! Oh! And it's Friday, which means it is This & That Day on the blog! Stop by to discover ➡️ A new British drama series that is being well received and I cannot wait for it to become available in the states, quite a few winter clothing sales to explore, books on averting self-sabotage, welcoming the tranquility back into your everydays, a comedic gardening novel, and a book on what loving really entails. A new film to prompt more than a bit of laughter with a star-studded cast, and a new comedy on AppleTV+ starring Harrison Ford in a role that looks quite hilarious in its concept. Oh! And a new translation of Colette’s two classic novels. And good news, there is still much more – for the home, for the table, for your wardrobe, you get the idea. ☺️
