The day my car flew through a butterfly

May 21, 2010

The title of this post isn’t very SEO-friendly–and as an online marketing consultant, I should know better, but what the hey–but it came to me as I was driving through Dallas last night, on the way home from an event that one of my clients held to promote her business, and I idly noticed a [...]

Interview: Marjorie Price, author of A Gift From Brittany: A Memoir of Love and Loss in the French Countryside

April 16, 2010

It’s not often that I meet another woman named Marjorie, but oddly enough, many of the Marjories I have met–or have known–have been writers. And my mother tells me that she named me after the author of a book she was reading at the time she was pregnant with me. Now, the book was actually [...]

Author Interview: Mary Beth Raycraft, A Parisienne in Chicago: Impressions of the World’s Columbian Exposition

April 6, 2010

As a former academic-to-be, I love books published by academic presses, especially those that seem so well-suited to a mainstream audience and yet don’t seem to get the appreciation they deserve by the general reading public. So many so-called “academic” books are so much better-written, better-developed and more fun to read than their mainstream counterparts [...]

Author Interview: Sandra Gulland, Mistress of the Sun

April 2, 2010

I love doing podcasts, and yet for some reason I haven’t been doing enough of them. Hands down, the fun-nest ones are with writers, of course, and to a woman, all the ones I’ve interviewed for My Inner French Girl have been so kind, down-to-earth, funny, and sharp. I recently had the privilege of interviewing [...]

How to be Imperfect in 12 Steps

March 24, 2010

One of the questions I get asked most often on this blog is, “How in the world do you get everything done?” I suppose it’s inevitable since I seem to be everywhere: this blog, Twitter, Facebook, my business, blah blah blah. But if only you could see how I miserably juggle everything and how incredibly [...]

Becoming older, becoming wiser

March 9, 2010

A lot of Francophiles become such partly because they’re fascinated and perhaps not a little envious at just how youthful many French women of A Certain Age are. I know I am, but not really because they look or act youthful; rather, I look to them because they more than just about anyone I know [...]

Great V-Day gift idea!

February 5, 2010

I just wanted to post a quick mention about my friend Cari Taylor’s stunning handmade silver jewelry, available for sale at Wired Originals. If you’re still wondering what to get your girlfriend, mom, best friend, sister, daughter, niece, or any special person in your life for Valentine’s Day, you must head over to Cari’s site [...]

Why I hate “marketing”

February 5, 2010

I probably shouldn’t say that, considering that my company offers online marketing, but it’s something I’ve been thinking so much about of late as I work through my projects, remember some former clients and try to live as humane and ethical a life as possible. Being a Francophile means a number of different things to [...]

January 26, 2010

Okay, everyone, one of @innerfrenchgirl‘s Twitter followers needs your help! She’s a three-time visitor to Paris who’ll be returning to the City of Light in May for her honeymoon and is seeking tips on places to see that’s perhaps a little off the beaten path. (She’s a Paris veteran, after all!) So far I’ve received [...]

Simple winter breakfast recipe

January 21, 2010

One of my favorite start-the-day meals. And bonus: it’s super-easy to make, plus so nutritious your doctor will thank you. It’s a complete dish by itself and will fill you up and give you lots of energy for the entire morning. Lots of whole grains, fiber, fruit, antioxidants, calcium, Vitamin E…what’s not to like? Oh, [...]
