I’m a Chicagoan who has called Paris home for over 20 years. After a career in the corporate world, I leapt into the adventure of entrepreneurship. Now, I share reflections on life, learning, and reinvention in Paris.
For those looking for new ways of seeing their everyday, of drawing inspiration from Paris (indirectly or directly!), and ideas for unlocking their creative connections, Jane's Prompts are wonderful. She brings decades of expertise in business with just as many as a Paris resident.
I was a citified Paris correspondent for fancy American glossies who went Green Acres in a village of 175 people in the middle of a forest. It's been interesting.
Alexandra's writing is one of the reasons I wanted to continue pursuing reporting work and journalism, despite the precarity of freelancing. She is a tremendous storyteller, deeply understands her subject's time and place, and can make anything into a compelling read. Her chronicle of life outside of Paris, in Le Perche, has opened up a new realm of writing that we are lucky to access. Inspiring, heartfelt, witty, and delightful every time.
