When you travel, do you ever feel like you just are going so fast you're never able to catch your breath, to say nothing of pulling out a journal?

Not to fret, my pet. Not only are you receiving a gorgeous Illuminated Journey travel journal complete with marvelous art supplies, but you'll have several hours each day of down time to do whatever makes you most happy. If journaling is on that list, so much the better!

(Psst! We'll also have optional time woven in to the schedule to play in our journals together. There might even be flamingo-themed washi tape, just for fun!)

Hooray! Happiest of Birthdays, Judith White!

What a sublime treat it is to get to work on a project with someone who you love and respect AND who is simultaneously across an ocean from you? (I still marvel at the magic of FaceTime.)

Juju, 87% of creating this business business with you has been SO FUN. (13% = new and tedious-to-learn skills that have turned out be quite useful.)

I can't wait to be in France with you again!

What if this were YOUR brush, getting down the exact shade of the wee green fern keeping you company as you sit on your private porch, gazing out to sea?

Doesn't that look so easy and delightful?

Did you know that we've hired a professional artist to teach YOU how to do this? And that you'll have many peaceful hours to play with line and color and there will be exactly ZERO pressure for anything to turn out *just so*?

Ahhh. It's going to be GREAT.

Come watercolor in southern France with us. The spirit of Van Gogh is waiting there to cheer us on!

Why do both rest and laughter flow so much more freely when we're away from home?

There's just something about:
a. actually, physically not being able to worth through a to-do list AND
b. not needing to be in charge or make any decisions other than which kind of gelato to try this afternoon

Let's laugh and rest and then laugh some more - and how about let's do it in southern France?

Traveling mercies, they call them. Those moments that people we love wish upon us when we embark on a journey. Those moments of goodness that surprise and delight us when we're far from home. (For the record, those moments that are always available, we just don't always think to ask for them.)

Come to France. Expecting goodness here is so easy.

The second best thing to traveling is diving back into and reliving your memories.

Journaling with an Illuminated Journey travel journal invites you to slooooooow down and inhabit your moments in deeper ways, then get them on paper so they can sing to you when you're back home.

Learn more about these wonderful journals here: www.naomiwhite.net. You'll get one of your very own, plus time to play with it.

Did you even know that National Croissant Day was a thing?!?!?

Wild Thyme won't be in France on this particular day to see how the French observe it, although we suspect that EVERY day Croissant Day in France, but you could pop out to your favorite bakery in festive solidarity.

The thing I can tell you about croissants in France is this: they are a staple in every bakery (which are practically on every corner)) and they are flaky and buttery and nourish the soul as much as the body.

AND both of our hotels serve them up fresh EVERY SINGLE MORNING, so you can make up for all the croissants you haven't eaten since you (most likely) don't live in France.

Did you know what we'll be spending time in two different cities, both beloved by Van Gogh and inspiration for his most prolific period?

Moreover, we have a talented and delightful local French artist who will be taking us through the basics of travel sketching and watercoloring. We'll even get to do some plein-air creating in the exact places that Van Gogh himself painted!

Ready to have the naysaying voice silenced?

Happy Cheese Lover's Day, friends!

You'll be happy to know that Wild Thyme Travel Co will most definitely NOT be neglecting the world of French cheese during our time together.

In fact, one of our most beloved French friends is a bit of an expert in that regard and will be leading us through a tasting of local cheeses (and wines!)

Interesting cheese fact: the music a cheese listens to as it matures affects its flavor. During a blind taste test by a jury of culinary experts, the hip-hop cheese beat out the Mozart cheese!

“A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

Take time to slow down and engage with The Muse. She'll ask you to dance over a cocktail of elderflower liquor, Prosecco, mint and a splash of club soda, then waltz you by a Roma basket maker practicing his art before collapsing, breathless beside you on a bench by the sea. Together, you'll watercolor waves and the colors of sunset until it's time for dinner.

What is it about getting away that clears our creative sinuses to smell the new ideas out there?

Don't you want to find out?

The region of La Camargue is full of deeply meaningful traditions and we'll get to observe and participate in several during the Pilgrimage to the Sea. Pictured are images from the yearly Roma pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, in which they celebrate their beloved saints - Sara-la-Kali and the Marys for whom the town is named.

"There are very few occasions like this in the world where Roma from all over come to celebrate, feel proud, and feel powerful and in control,” says Dr. Anna Mirga-Kruszelnicka, Romani activist. “Here we are the protagonists.”

Grab your biological or chosen sis and run away to France together. Make new memories. Learn enough French to have it be your secret language when you return. Create new private jokes. What could be better than to sink into relaxation, joy and delight with someone you love? Nothing. Unless if you add eating pistachio gelato by the sea. That would top it.

No one actually goes to France for the fancy salads, but can you remember the last time you were offered smoked duck breast or baked brie on your greens? We didn't think so. Or how about fresh figs? When they're in season, they are simply THE most decadent thing ever. Especially when paired with crumbles of funky blue cheese and a splash of rich balsamic.

We're not saying you *have* to eat salads while on vacation in southern France. Just that you might not want to miss them.

You're going to need a backstory for this picture.

It was a warm evening in August and Judith and I were doing research for Wild Thyme in the town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. This peaceful beach town also happens to be the childhood backyard of the famous band, The Gipsy Kings, which formed over a campfire 25+ years ago.

We were trudging sadly away from the tourist office where we'd just been told that there weren't enough people for the 7 pm trolley ride around town and we’d need to return the following day. We paused on the sidewalk so Judith could take a call and while she talked, I perused posters and advertisements pasted on giant concrete pillars nearby. In the way that you do when you're figuring out something in a language you're not fluent in, I slowly began to piece together that the Gipsy Kings were going to be giving a concert tomorrow, our last night in town. Tickets were $35.

We have both loved and listened to this group for the past 20+ years, so a chance to see them in their hometown, in a battered little concrete arena, squeezed cheek to cheek with fellow music lovers of many ages, under a full moon that rose from the sea right as they came on stage, to sing beloved songs at the top of our lungs with a happy, playful crowd (well, all except for that guy in the photo above us )...it felt like a kiss of blessing on the forehead from the Guardian Angel of New Endeavors saying "Keep it up, girls! This is just the beginning!"

Do you need more serendipity, more magic in your life? Travel will do that. Not because there's something intrinsically magical about travel itself, but because it shakes us up. It disrupts our routines, and those little cracks of disruption are where the magic, and the light (thanks, Leonard Cohen!) comes in.

Come join us in southern France. So much serendipity and magic await.
