A Peek into Paris
In October I spent four days in Paris (here’s a fun Instagram Reel) and I wanted to give you a peek into the experience.
Above is what I packed into my carry-on: rolled all-noir clothing (mostly TDJ), a ring light for the Virtual Retreat, toiletries, Coterie workbook, ballet slippers and tights.
Below are peeks into: my Airbnb, journal writing at my first sidewalk cafe, a trip to the Book Bar at the Grand Amour Hotel, a ballet class in French at The Dance Center of the Marais, yummy gnocchi following class at a sidewalk cafe, grounds of a museum, a stop into Repetto where I picked up a dance shoe bag, a vegan donut at a new-to-me cafe called Boneshaker, my Virtual Retreat set up, an early morning in Montmartre where I stopped for a photo of La Maison Rose, pretty pink roses picked up at the nearby flower market, a painting with coffee class with Anna Gorvits, and a view from my window on the flight home.
Paris always refills my soul and the journaling at that pink sidewalk cafe jumpstarted my journey toward simplification. I’ll be sharing more about that experience shortly. For now, thank you for joining me at my final virtual retreat and enjoying this jaunt in spirit with me. May it inspire your own Parisian dreams.
Pink Friday [Planning + Reflection]
As the year begins to wind down and the holiday buzz picks up, I invite you to join me for a serene pause before the season’s whirlwind. Let’s take a moment to step back from the Black Friday rush and instead, turn inward with Pink Friday—a moment dedicated to reflection, dreaming, and self-care.
Picture this: cozying up with a warm cup of tea, a beautiful workbook and your journal, a guided meditation mp3, and a heart open to the year’s whispers and wishes. Pink Friday on November 24th is more than just an event; it’s a soul-nourishing space to honor where you’ve been and to craft a vision for where you’re headed.
During our time together (noon to 1:30 pm ET), we’ll gently sift through the past year’s layers, acknowledge our growth, and tenderly let go of what no longer serves us. We’ll then turn our gaze forward, inviting in creativity and clarity for the future.
Think of Pink Friday as your tranquil haven, where you’ll:
🎀 Ground yourself with mindfulness and guided meditation🎀 Reflect on your personal journey this year🎀 Spark your creative dreams with guided exercises🎀 Cultivate self-compassion and plan with intention
Don’t let the holidays pass without giving yourself this gift of tranquility. Reserve your spot for $97 and receive a beautiful PDF workbook, live gathering access, a bonus guided meditation, and the opportunity to conclude your year with intention.
If you’re feeling the pull towards a thoughtful year-end review and a respite from the holiday haste, Pink Friday is waiting for you. Join us as we tie a bow around 2023 with love and tranquility. If you miss us live, a replay will be available to all registrants.
Over the next week, please take extra good care of yourself. Listen to your body. Rest as needed. Go for a walk. Take space to read a book or step away from all the noise in whatever way feels nourishing. Make a gratitude list. Stay hydrated (think water, water, water). Savor each bite. Go to bed early. Sleep in. Be gentle with yourself and others. Practice mindful self-compassion (mp3).
Thank you for sharing your inbox with me. I’m looking forward to heading into the holidays with you and an eye toward ease. Wishing you everyday tranquility (workbook below), a shift toward savoring, and the most tranquil of Thanksgivings. I’m grateful for YOU!

Simplifying: TDJ Clothing
Although I LOVE details and infusing sweet touches into everyday life, I’m moving into a season of simplifying (here’s the recent podcast where I share more) and wanted to update you on one big shift happening now.
WHAT
After over two decades of designing TranquiliT/TDJ clothing, I’ll be transitioning into an occasional capsule collection releasing as the muse visits (versus being available year-round).
The current collection will remain available as-is for the next few days until current fabric supplies run out. Basically, now is a great time to stock up on your seasonless, sustainable staples.
WHY
After 22 years of pouring creativity into this passion project, I’ve arrived at a heartfelt decision that’s shaped by my commitment to practice tranquility and simplicity in this season of life (hello, midlife!).
GRATITUDE
I so appreciate the love and support you’ve shown to the clothing line over the years (circa 2001) and through its many phases: from in-person trunk shows, to modeling and sharing your ways to wear the designs, to joining the virtual spring and fall pop-up gatherings (recent replays here), to honoring our transition to all-noir. Designing my swan song balletcore collection feels like the perfect bow!
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support over the years. I hope the clothing line has inspired you to “style your tranquility, every day” as coined by TDJ aficionado Carol!
