The Weekend . . .

There is something very appropriate to just going with the flow that pairs beautifully with a few days visiting the southern California beach.  With only one important time to meet during my time here (must get to the wedding on time!), the rest has unfolded at its own pace and serendipitously worked out quite lovely. 

With a late lunch at Geoffrey’s yesterday that offers a gorgeous view of the Malibu beach and Pacific Ocean (thank you Slim Paley for the suggestion!), we sat dining outside, sipping Napa Valley wine, savoring scallops atop risotto drizzled with reduced balsamic vinegar and enjoying a moment that in all aspects was beyond surreal.

Needless to say, a break such as this is thoroughly enjoyed, but also makes you appreciate so much of what is going well in the daily lives we all lead.  I hope you as well are able to enjoy time to unwind, relax and just follow your whims of fancy before heading back into the life that you have created for yourself and those around you.  It is in these moments of escape that inspiration can inflict its power, and so long as we remain open, our lives become all the more rich and flavorful.

Even though I have been away from my desk, my laptop has traveled with me.  So here is a look back on this past week on The Simply Luxurious Life:
