It's Never Too Late to Bloom

"A few years ago, I went to see a psychic, as all reasonable people in Paris do when they're hitting a wall. I was in my thirties and still clueless about my purpose in life. I had barely sat down when the psychic (an American) announced: 'You don't need to worry, you're a 'late bloomer'. Everything is going to happen later in your life.'


Late Bloomerquoi?What the psychic didn't know was that there is no translation for 'late bloomer' in French. In the land ofLa vie en rose, where the Age of Enlightenment once sparked, you don't wander off the main road, let alone choose your own pace in life. You play by the book. From that day on, Catherine decided to knock down all her unquestioned beliefs to discover that there's life and happiness and hope off the beaten career and love path.
