No, I'm not actually going to Paris. I wish. I'm actually creating a Spring Paris getaway during winter in Minnesota... Sounds crazy impossible right? Well I love creating and I love the impossible. I try to make it a habit of believing in six impossible things before breakfast.
Here's my plan: The five senses. Those are what you need to come together for an experience. Sight: I want to spend my day writing. I will have my phone with a picture of a French café next to my computer as if I'm sitting by a window and looking out to the Paris street. Smell: Essential oils are awesome, I'm just saying. I'm thinking some flower scent to imitate the flower boxes on the windowsills. Sound: I love French music so this is a must. French worship music and French pop music. Taste: One thinks of bread and expresso when you think of Paris. I personally don't like coffee so I'll be sticking with hot chocolate or chai tea. Maybe I'll find some nice bread and cheese for a snack. And macaroons, a must have for any Paris vacation. Touch: This was a difficult sense to plan for. All I can think of is being cozy during my mock Paris getaway and that means fuzzy blankets. Aftermath: It was incredible. I put on a nice dress and put my hair up as if I was really in Paris. At first I played some French pop music but then ended up playing accordion music like they'd have playing near a café. I had so many incredible French snack, two types of cheese, a baguette, macaroons, crepe biscuits to dip in my chai tea, and even a French style sparkling lemonade. I felt so relaxed all day. And not to brag or anything but I wrote 35 pages on my screenplay! It was truly a beautiful getaway. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanted a vacation. It only cost me $25 in food. So where are you going on your next staycation?

Guys I'm so excited for the next venture God has called me to do. It's a little idea I like to call Filming with Friends. Why that name? Because I'll be filming a movie with my friends and I want to share everything that happens. Both the good and the bad. I've already had some setbacks.
What kind of setbacks you ask? Well it's really just one. I finished writing the script for my movie and as I went to print it, I found most of my script deleted itself. Not gonna lie, I almost ugly cried. I guess that's how God tells you to do a rewrite. I took the accident as a sign that my screenplay wasn't ready and needed work. So I decided to scrap the few pages of my script that saved and start over. I've been rewriting the screenplay and found that it's already a lot better than the first. I'm excited to say that I've finished it and can't wait to start filming this week. The script has already been given to the actresses, they've read it and love it. I'll be filming the movie and the journey in a vlog on youtube just search my name Darby Rand and you'll see my channel. Go give it a like and subscribe to stay up to date on all my adventures. |
AuthorI am a missionary. Currently studying at Bethany Global University. The ultimate God dream is to go to Mongolia. I believe God has called me to minister to the Mongolian nomads, they are the unreached people of our world. With over 3 million people in Mongolia, there are only around 70 churches. These churches are all in cities, thus leaving the nomads on their own. I am a missionary, this is my calling, and this is my story. Please Contact me to find out how to donate.Archives
