Carol, you have made us all feel like Parisians--taking us with you as you experience this wondrous city. We are thankful you are safe and stand with the people of Paris.
Sending love and hugs to you and all your French friends. Crying as I write. So awful. So sad. Wishing love and healing to encircle you. No words really. oxoxo
I've been thinking of you till I could get online and ask. Thanks for sharing this. I hope those you know and care for are all right. Heart is breaking.
I was hoping you would post and let us know you are ok and anyone you know personally; your friends and colleagues, the Parisian people you meet and interact with every day. I am so sorry for Paris, for France, for you and all of us living under this monstrous evil .
Prayers for France and the French people. Me and my granddaughter spent a glorious week in the beautiful City of Lights this summer. Strength and love to all the people of France and especially Paris in light of the terrible atrocity.
Breathing a deep sigh of relief...wondering if you might have heard anything from Adrian Leeds? We feel so bad for all Parisians. This is very disturbing. Wishing you love, peace, and light from your PB friends in Seattle.
Merci, Carol for letting us know you and Bear are safe. My arms stretch out to give you and Bear a big hug and many bisous. You have become a blog-friend that I enjoy so much.
Carol, I'm relieved to know that you are safe. No words can express the horror. My heart aches for each of you during this horrendous experience. Sending hugs of comfort to you and Bear. Stay safe.
So relieved! Give Bear a hug from me (one for you too) and my prayers will continue for all of Paris, France and this world which seems go crazy ever now and then. I am so heartbroken over this & holding my breath that no more ugliness willbe seen.
Thanks, Carol, for letting all of us know that you and Bear are safe. My heart wishes seem to be focused on all of Paris. We don't watch T.V. that much at our house, but the first thing we did today(after coffee!) was turn T.V. on. What has happened to Paris this weekend defies understanding, and so many of us here in America are horrified. Blessings to all in Paris.
Good news in the midst of such terrible news! I was in Paris at this time in 2013. So heartbroken by the senseless violence. Sending wishes of hope to you, Carol, to Bear, to all of Paris and all of France.
I rarely post a comment here even though I have been following your exploits for almost 6 years. I am so grief stricken over these horrific events in my favorite city. All my Parisian friends have notified me that they are all right and I am glad that you are too. You bring us so much joy and creativity and we need that now more than ever. My friends here are concerned about my upcoming lecture in Paris but I'm going to let nothing stop me. Aujourd'hui et pour toujours, je suis France! Stephan
This time next year I will be in Paris, my favourite city in the world. And I will still come. It sickens me to hear about these terrible attacks and the heart break for all. My thoughts of strength and warmest wishes to heal and move on as best as can be done are sent to my City of Lights. Your many friends in Canada are behind you Paris!
My first thoughts yesterday when the news broke about the events in the streets of Paris were of you and bear and your safety.This is good news indeed that all is well for you and bear. Take care and keep us informed. I was in Paris at this time in 2013, it is a lovely time of year. It is so sad to be marred by such disregard of life...
Thank you for letting us know that Bear and you are safe. We are stunned and horrified by these acts of hatred, and we weep for France and for all humanity. May we find better ways to stem such hatred. En solidarité avec la France, Leslie
Carol, I'm so glad you are safe and uninjured. I heard some other criticism about how people were displaying their grief over the horrific Paris situation. It seams we don't all react, or grieve the same. These actions are not something we should be judging maybe, we are all doing the best we can, with the best intensions to survive. Don't you think? Enjoy your beloved city, and we all enjoy you and Bear together immensely. xoxo
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
Thinking of you. Please take care.
ReplyDeleteSo very relieved. Thank you for letting us know. I hope all of your friends and neighbours are safe and well. V x
