    Our environment, whether the home we live in, the Our environment, whether the home we live in, the town we reside, our workplace or anywhere we "take" ourselves is full of either motivators or demotivators to encourage or discourage the life that both nourishes us and inspires us to live in alignment with our true self and engage with loving-kindness. When we accept the responsibility that has been ours all along, positive change can happen.

An excerpt from the October 25th entry, titled "The How of Change" found in the October chapter, "Lead with Your Humanity as You Pursue Knowledge, Understanding, Bravery, and Kindness" in #tsll3rdbook The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment

    Happy Friday from Bend's autumn gem box. A new Thi Happy Friday from Bend's autumn gem box. A new This & That is now on the blog ➡️🦋 Oodles of books this week, including three cookbooks, from cozy mysteries, fiction of noted praise, a new book about shifting what it means to Have It All that aligns beautifully with living a life of contentment, and still more titles. A new film takes us back to the mid-twentieth century in Hollywood, and another takes us to the early 21st century in France. Clothing to keep you warm and stylish —one item I just purchased, love —and it’s on an awesome discount! Still, there is much more, even a hint at the upcoming holiday season.
    Bend is gorgeous at the moment with all of the gol Bend is gorgeous at the moment with all of the gold and gem tones decorating the trees (and even gently floating down onto the table as we had lunch outside at a favorite spot - @sparrowbakery ).

Wishing you a beautiful seasonal outing! Bonne journée ! ☺️🍁❤️🍂🐾
    New on the blog, the long wait is over! The new Co New on the blog, the long wait is over! The new Cottage Garden Gate is installed here at @lepapillongarden !

Visit the blog for the detailed tour, see the inspiration (in photos) of what guided the design, how trips to France and Britain played an influential role, and of course, see Before and After pics, the latter with all the sourcing and details so that you too can design and welcome into your garden the cottage gate you have been envisioning. It is possible! And oh my goodness, has immediate brought ease, charm and functionality to the garden. 😌
