Michelle GonzalezThis is a Livejournal blog by an old friend Michelle Gonzalez. We knew each other when we were playing music in the Bay Area and after both of us stopped, our paths crossed again when we bought houses in the same East Oakland neighborhood. The 4 of us had wonderful times before we moved to Philadelphia and eventually to France. Hopefully our paths will cross again.

In her own words:
Not relevant to living in France at all, “The Best Thing About Today” attempts to track the inner thought process of a writer, English prof, mother, and wife, who prefers to live in the moment, but is fascinated by the way memory works – the way one memory triggers another related and often seemingly unrelated idea or memory. Topics include the author’s memories and thoughts on The Clash, birds, presidential politics, teaching and Chicanisma.

This is the first of a series of posts about other bloggers somewhat related to the theme of living in France, Europe, expats, or anything else you can imagine. Here was my call for submissions, it is not too late.

No Regrets For Me
The exploits and misadventures of a contrary, 40something woman who decided to become a corporate executive dropout and follow her dream of living in France. Tales of the trials of moving abroad, discoveries of life reinvention and coping in a new land.

I would like to do a week of blog reviews. If you would like to receive a blog review and a backlink just contact me here, post a comment on this post and then I will contact you by email. I imagine that I will do a quick review of your blog, put a widget with your RSS feed in it, and you can create a short description of your blog and send it to me to include as well.  Maybe if there are up to 2 posts that you are especially proud of and want to high light in a link do so as well. I’m looking for relevancy but it can be loosely relevant too.
