Hi Reader,

This week's musing is going to be a short one since I'm currently on vacation. You know, that NY-style vacation where you are still kinda checking your emails? But I'm not.

I have had a pretty intense first half of the year and needed to completely unplug to regenerate for the second half of the Fire Horse year. But before I disappear again, I want to share a Feng Shui anecdote with you

Recently, I had a Feng Shui consultation with a lovely couple who were moving into a new home together for the first time. My client told me that her partner of many years had quite recently spent a year in bed after he retired from his high-powered executive job. I exclaimed, "Oh no, was he unwell?"

Personal note from Susan:

Oyster Wonderland

I did it. I went on a short vacation, or as my Parisian friends would say, un long week-end. Well, I'm actually still on it, but I wanted to take a few minutes to share my adventures since you know that's what I love to do.

We ventured north of Paris, Cancale-bound. My friends told me that if you like oysters, this is a not-to-be-missed destination in Brittany. Well... I lovvvvveeee oysters, so I thought, I'll check it out.

I totally did not expect what I encountered.

Imagine this: a tiny seaside town on La Manche with essentially one little street. A sleepy, bustling street overlooking an oyster bay. An oyster bay! You can actually see where the oysters are harvested, and just a few feet away are little oyster stands where you choose your feast by the dozen. Creuses (cupped)? Plates (flat)? Or a mixed platter? ALL, please! And for mere euros.

I was in oyster heaven, as you can imagine.

Once you've made your selection, they hand everything to you on a colorful platter. You grab a glass of white wine from the little wine truck, find a spot on the stone steps in the sunshine, and happily slurp your oysters one by one, tossing the shells back onto the beach where the hungry little seagulls eagerly peck at the bits you couldn't quite reach. It was one of the most beautiful gastronomical ecosystems I've ever experienced.

Not much more to say except that Breton hospitality exceeded every expectation. And my American idea of "hard cider" was definitely not prepared for the wonderfully funky character of authentic Breton cidre. It took a little getting used to, but it was absolutely worth the experience.

Here's to your summer weekend!
