couldn’t be HAPPIER.
watched the sunrise at 7AM over the mountains.
sipped coffee and felt at peace (which was then racked by coughing but tis passing, slowly, away, the memory of Flu fades….)
hung out with G + Z when they woke up.
and then went back to bed, found a soft spot of sunlight….

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 :-)

Good morning from New York :) Very happy that you are happy and ready for the next adventure. Will miss you, but so excited for your new beginning! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Till we meet again. Love & peace to you always. BIG hug. xoxo
oh! so lovely to hear your virtual voice. *smiling* across the continent. be well.
So happy to hear you have sunshine in SoCal!
Sunday with a little work, a little New York Times, a little more work… and always, good coffee!
Waving from behind my French Roast!
dearest D – how perfectly Sunday – waving back with a glass of filtered palm springs drinking water and a you tube video of Bowie on soul train!
Sleeping. Just what you need. :)
Thank you for asking, yes, feeling better enough to go to lunch at our friends place in Nimes for a traditional aîoli–have you ever had that? Lots of different plates (always a good sign) of veggies and fish that you dunk in a homemade garlic mayonnaise. Pretty wonderful. Lots of white wine consumed, lots of talking ensued. We brought a giant galette du rois (almond paste!) and a sparking Muscat (not exactly champagne but worth a try) for dessert. Left at after 5pm. Will have a quiet evening now.
Still sending good thoughts for your throat and am so happy for you. You did it!!!
Let the adventures continue…

gosh. yes. a YUMMY dish.
glad you had a belle dimanche cherie.
Welcome home, darling! Sending you love all the way from the East Coast. As for me, I am up at the house in Garrison, reading and drifting and sitting in front of the fire, so a very lovely Sunday indeed. xx
virtually passing you another pashmina and reading a lovely bit from Jane Austen that feels very Winter and cozy.
Strangely no meat, religion or sport this weekend. How queer. Glad you are feeling better and the sun is shining. X
you are Very Modern.
