the best laid plans
bon journee! we’re officially settled in to le meurice in paris. our social media gathering is in full spring and the hashtage is #EmbraceParis. the trip is already moving a the speed of light and although i had big plans to blog, tweet, fb, instagram etc. in real time, it’s proving next to impossible! we have 5 minutes before heading out for a picnic in the tuilleries garden and i’m here as opposed to getting ready to leave for the day! but i do have for brush these dents so will just quickly bid adieu and share a couple photos of the gorgeous suite! our hosts, carina and norma have set up the most incredible trip but as hard as we try it’s almost impossible to post and i apologize for overpromising to share. needless to say there has been a lot of laughter and great times. the women here are sensational and as i sit next to a different one at each meal or event i marvel at the power, beauty and commraderie in the room.
ok well i better go. i lifted the following from carina’s blog so that you can meet them all. i’ll try to tweet fromt the road today…
Empower * Brainstorm * Collaborate * Engage * Social Media
Bringing creative international women together for an experience full of positive energy, there will be much collaborating, sharing and brainstorming on all things related to the wonderful and crazy world of social media. EMBRACE is about empowering each other through positive peer support. Whilst initially Embrace was to be hosted by the city’s most beautiful hotel (the Hotel Plaza Athénée), a small change has taken place and events have now been moved to their sister hotel, the exquisite Le Meurice, another of the charming properties in the Dorchester collection.
Generating a Paris inspired frisson throughout social media platforms such as : Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, along with individual websites, you can follow the hashtag #EmbraceParis to see what the ladies are up to, and where they’ll be.
Of course, none of it would be possible if it weren’t for the incredible support of some truly amazing companies. You can click on over and follow them online here:

hi chryle. thanks for that. it’s funny that it was all about social media (supposedly) but when push came to shove, the tech end of it was tiresome and cumbersome (not to mention doing it in paris is even trickier), so we ended up putting it off…or at least i did, and as you said, living in the moment. it was actually a bit of an eye opener.

If you get a chance, take friends to Flottes Restaurant at #2 Rue Cambon, SO close to you, their truffled mashed potatoes is an experience in itself and the Isles de Flottante is the most beautifully presented that I have ever seen.
What an exhilarating experience being with all the fascinating women must be for you….and empowering!
Vty,

hi nancy, i think meeting the women was as much a highlight as staying in what’s considered the oldest palace hotel in paris! they were all bright, beautiful and bold, with each one wanting to help and share information. i will profile each one and hopefully you’ll get to know them too. that’s how this whole thing started in fact!
