French Friday – Book Club

October 18, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Forever Chic by Tish Jett   The French Chic group I belong to decided it would be fun to do an online book club. As we were discussing which book to read first one of our members humbly mentioned that she had a book coming out. Parfait! Several of us pre-ordered and it began shipping…

French Friday ~ Take a Walk

September 21, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’ve been so pleased with the increased participation on the French Chic Yahoo Group. I wish I had taken steps to jump-start things long ago. It seems many were quietly waiting in the wings, eager for a return to our more active days. I learned something from this: Don’t wait for someone else to do…

French Friday ~ Designing My Life

September 13, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

    I’ve long been a member (and moderator) of the Yahoo Group, French Chic. Participation has slowed in recent years, probably because of Facebook and other social media options. But several of us are hoping to revive the group because it has, in the past, served an important role in our lives.    I’ve…

It’s getting late and I never got around to writing a French Friday post so I thought I’d share this: And this: Be sure to check out the other Henri videos.

French Friday ~ June 14, 2013

  I think what appeals to me most about the stereotypical French woman is the way in which she lives life intentionally. Rather than just allowing life to happen to her, she makes deliberate choices and designs her own life. Every once in awhile I need a reminder to do likewise and that’s why I’m…

French Friday ~ June 7, 2013

June 7, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It’s been ages since I’ve done a “French Friday” post but I’d like to start them up again. I’ve been thinking about being more intentional in my daily routine and I think that returning to French-inspired living would help in that regard. Right now I’ve got to hurry and get ready to go. We have…

Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these.  I haven’t been posting all that much lately but I’m going to get back to it.  I promise!  So…French Friday.  Have you seen “Midnight in Paris” yet?  If not, you absolutely must.  It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite awhile. …

French Friday – Rest and Restore

October 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

    Thank goodness it’s Friday!  This has been quite a week and I can’t remember the last time I was so incredibly happy to see Friday arrive.   I should vacuum and clean bathrooms and mop the laundry room.  But you know what?  I’m not doing any of those things today.  The bed is…

French Friday ~ Anti-Intellectualism

October 1, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

French Friday graphic

There is much I admire about French culture but I am especially enamored with the way in which the French embrace the intellectual.  As much as I love my country, I must admit that the current surge in anti-intellectualism baffles me.    This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn…
