Okay, so here it goes... Which of these 3 restaurants would you choose to eat at in Paris? (From left to right, swipe to see.) 1) The cozy, hip Grazie for wood-fired pizzas, 2) The beautiful terrace (with a view of the Louvre courtyard) at Café Marly for croissants and fresh-squeezed orange juice, or 3) The elegant Yam'tcha (as seen on Chef's Table) for Franco-Chinois inspired food? #sycamoreparis photos L to R: @atelierdore, @natgeo, and @virginiegarnier

A few days ago Kirk and I watched the one episode of an Anthony Bourdain show that we hadn't seen yet—"West Virginia" on @PartsUnknown on CNN. (Maybe you saw in my stories?) It was the last one we watched from the new season because frankly, it didn't sound as interesting to us as the rest. But within a minute of turning it on, we were drawn in, mesmerized by Bourdain's honesty, by the beauty of West Virginia, by the strong sense of community. It's one of the best episodes he's ever created. He openly admits that as a liberal New Yorker, his values, opinions, and ideas are very different from most of the people he met there. But he repeatedly showed the humanity, the complexity, the dignity of the people he was lucky enough to spend time with. He confronted stereotypes and cracked them open. And like I mentioned in my last post about Bourdain, he treated everyone he met with the utmost respect—and demanded that his viewers do the same. •
Watching it, I was heartbroken all over again about his death. And I asked myself, what can I do? How can I help? I love what @darlingstudio said—""I'm going to keep asking people how they are doing, but I'm going to answer better to their answers. I'm going to share my own stories, the good, the bad and the ugly ones. I'm going to keep the conversation going about what makes a good life, because I suspect it's not what the world claims. I'm going to give more hugs. I'm going to start there, because I know that connection and compassion are more important than ever today. How are you doing?"

And me? Most days I'm smiling, like in this photo. I'm doing pretty well overall and grateful for my life. But I'm also worried that there still may be mold in our home and if there is, I'm wondering what it will cost to get it taken care of. There are dirty dishes on the kitchen counter, piles of laundry that never seem to go away, friends and family I wish I could spend more time with, projects and improvements I'd love to do to my home if I just had the resources, etc. I don't post photos of all that stuff because who really wants to see my crusty dishes?

If you could go on a road trip today, who would you take with you?

“Road Trips: A Guide to Travel, Adventure, and Choosing Your Own Path" is the latest title by a woman I've loved following online for years—@jenckjacobs. (And I mean YEARS—we're talking since flickr!) I am always so inspired by her life with her family, her travels, and her many creative projects, including this book. (Swipe right to see photos of the cover and more!) I read it from cover to cover while on the plane a couple of weeks ago and it was the perfect combo of inspiring stories, lovely photos, and practical advice. Honestly, I am going to keep this on hand for the next road trip I plan. I especially love the sections on photos, collections, and keepsakes. I want to be better about documenting our trips, and Jen has some great ideas about it. •

Double tap if you'd like to snuggle up with a book (or maybe just a pillow for a nap) in this room! (It's my kids' room, and I'm always trying to convince them to trade rooms with me, to no avail.) 😉 #IngridandLars
