Newsletter January 2024

Dear friends,                                                                Bellevue, January 2024

Here we are in 2024, all of us hoping for a more peaceful world. I take a moment to think about each of you, to think about friendship, and to say thank you. It's my first 'newsletter' since Covid.

 

We appreciate our quiet home close to the lake in Geneva. Pierre-Yves has been managing his Parkinson with daily walks, balneotherapy, and Sudoku while bicycling in his office! I continue to write and give workshops and courses online at the International Women's Writing Guild, Geneva Writers Group and at Jungian platforms.

(www.jung.org.programs;  https://courses.soulatplay.com).

 

We celebrated our double 90th birthdays in September, inviting children, grand-children, and great grand-children for a weekend in Yvoire on the French side of the lake with happy moments around the piano!

 

Christmas came with another family reunion at our chalet in Samoens in the French Alps. Most wonderful washow happy and engaged are our children and grandchildren together, even our two greatgrandkids.

 

Thomas Merton wrote that if only we could see the light in each other's heart, "we would see billions of points of light coming together in the face and blaze of a sun that would make all the darkness and cruelty of life vanish."

 

Wishing all of us joy, love, and peace, Susan and Pierre-Yves
