She traces Mayle's life change from advertising to writing and his affectionate, humorous vignettes of Provençal culture, using his story to challenge listeners to choose a life intentionally and to embrace changing seasons — including grief and loss. Drawing from Lamott, Georgette explores love as a daily practice: the role of community, healthy boundaries, vulnerability, and loving across divides. From Holiday, she highlights justice as a foundational virtue — doing the right thing even without recognition — and the balance between justice and mercy, and expanding our circle of moral concern beyond our own tribe. Peter Mayle — My 25 Years in Provence: Reflections on Then and Now Peter Mayle (1939–2018) was a British advertising executive turned author, best known for his 1989 international bestseller A Year in Provence, which inspired a generation of readers and travelers to fall in love with the south of France. He was awarded the Légion d'Honneur by the French government for his cultural contribution to the relationship between France and the English-speaking world. My 25 Years in Provence was his final book, published posthumously as a love letter to his adopted home. Anne Lamott — Somehow: Thoughts on Love Anne Lamott is one of America's most beloved spiritual writers, essayists, and novelists, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is the author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestsellers Bird by Bird, Traveling Mercies, Help, Thanks, Wow, and Dusk, Night, Dawn.
