Last week  I woke up in Paris craving a chocolate croissant and a cappuccino. At the time, I was strategically thinking the fastest way to get my clothes on and where the closest brasserie would be near my hotel to get my fix.

As some of you know, I'm spending January and February in Europe to work on the foreign distribution of my DVDs. I am currently working on both selling the retails rights abroad, as well as pitching a potential television series to European channels. It has been a fun ride so far, with some productive meetings and fun destinations. This week I signed a deal to have the DVDs appear on a UK fitness channel, Body in Balance. If you have any friends in the UK, they can tune into channel 275 to see both Yoga for Families and Yoga for Grandparents starting in March 2009. I was honored to have the DVDs appear alongside Shiva Rea's products, as well as Simon Low, who is the most popular instructor out of the UK. Yahoo!

The reason I am in Paris is that for two days this week, I took some time to visit my oldest friend from childhood who was in Paris on business. She is "The Nose" for Calvin Klein Fragrances, working with perfumers telling them if the fragrance is too sweet, too spicey, or what products are best for which markets. It was great to catch up with her between meetings and between working on my own business pursuits.
