Happy Frenchie Friday.
A little note from The Frenchie...
On ambition
You’ve built the business. Made the money. Proven the point.
Lovely.
Now, would you like to enjoy your life, or shall we schedule another meeting?
On being the strong one
Being the woman who can handle everything is terribly impressive.
It’s also terribly convenient for everyone else.
On money
Money can’t buy happiness.
Neither can being broke.
Shall we have a more interesting conversation?
On desire
You don’t need to justify wanting more.
You may, however, want to reconsider how much nonsense you’re willing to tolerate to get it.
On Beauty
Who decided Beauty was something women were supposed to lose with age?
And why on earth did we agree to discuss it as though that were true?
On marriage
You can adore your husband and still want a very different experience of your marriage.
Imagine that. Two truths. In the same room.
On rest
You don’t need to collapse to earn an afternoon doing absolutely nothing.
Although a beautiful hotel and room service wouldn’t hurt.
On visibility
You’ve spent years being admired for what you can do.
Wouldn’t it be delicious to be seen for who you actually are?
On midlife
They keep calling this the second half.
Darling, I haven’t even worn all my good shoes yet.
On living fully
You have nothing left to prove.
Of course, you may still want another ten million dollars.
Those are entirely different conversations.
🤍
