Dear Marissa, first, I absolutely enjoy your articles and as I sit here in my home in Dinan and reading your latest, honestly I'm impressed. It's like a chef introducing a new dish, some will like, others will take time to accept the new flavor. I may find permission to suck is that new meal that has a different taste, but as the new taste, your writing gives me a different perspective. As a writer, you always impress me. I've known you a long time and so impressed with your journey. I to have had and having an amazing journey. Living in Dinan now over a year and here to stay, I to write and feel inspired to create and bring thoughts and reactions from deep within. When I'm in Paris, it's a different view on everything, except the pleasure of discovery. When I sit just about anyplace in Paris, my heart feels overwhelmed with "the movable feast". I think if you were here in Dinan a few months, your writing, your motivation, your heart would change, as would your writing. I think we in some way, become where we live. I remember living in NYC and growing up there, it was much different in the 50' and 60's, and on my last visit 3 years ago...I felt as if I never left. You know me, and I have always admired you, I will always. If we learn from the mistakes, it's ok. If you want to include me in your article, I'll come to NYC and we can sit and you can have an exclusive on a man that is living the life here and about the journey. No regrets, just keep moving forward and... not sucking.
