Thank you, Manhattan.

We are returning to california a lot wiser, tougher, definitely world-travel(l)ed, kinder and missing a few vital organs and miscreant interlopers.

About teamgloria

I used to make my living from writing. And then it all stopped and so I went and did something else, part of which entailed a whole new look from Brooks Brothers (it wasn’t really me, but it was necessary). But a decade later I started to write again (during nights and weekends and frustrated lunch-times and long haul business travel) and one of the things I wrote (or came to me – as I do believe in the whole Muse concept) was a character called Gloria. Gloria was a trainee angel and sat “up there” waiting for her first assignment. To occupy the hours she should have been studying humans and their foibles, she spent her time enjoying the new celestial movies-on-demand channel and became obsessed by Doris Day. So you can imagine the drama that unfolded when she came to Earth. Quite a shock to the system. But Gloria was determined to see Manhattan through the eyes of a vintage Doris Day movie and something magical started to happen – to me too. Because I started to do the same thing and life became easier (and then I got Tobias the tumor which changed the trajectory, for now). There are a lot of glorious people, places & things that help me get through my day – they make my life great – and so I call them “team gloria” (although they don’t usually know that). So I thought I’d start documenting them, and looking out for new people, places & things on a daily basis, and sharing them with you (whomever you are – do say hello. Oh, and tell me who your team gloria is :-)

    I was at the big Saturday market earlier and in the middle of buying chou Romanesco when I thought “tg is flying today”. A lot of folks all over the world are keeping you in their good thoughts and are undoubtedly grateful, as I am, for all of the light that you shine forth. Keep the torch lit brightly and travel safely as you move forward. Turn the page.
    Bisous from Provence,

    And knowing Team Gloria, there’s a detailed itinerary already in place for the Arrival. Debriefing, decompressing, acclimating, and a swim for sure. SO looking forward to you being much MUCH closer!
