- “We were thrown into this world who knows why, and you have to finish your time to become I don’t know what.” These were the words of a princess who tried to make sense of the world she lived in.
What made Louise of Stolberg reach this conclusion is the story of her life.

Wow! Your latest video was worth the wait...
"Without bitterness toward his enemies, and without gratitude toward his friends." That reminds me of something a political insider said about Bill Clinton, "It's better to be an enemy of Clinton, because he ingratiates his enemies and screws his friends!"
Thanks James. Also, if I may add, Bonstetten was a fine observer of human nature; I'm glad he put in writing all he witnessed and experienced during those times.
Some of those portraits are absolutely stunning .. and of course, your historical descriptions are equally charming. Merci.💞
How lovely to hear that! Thank you, Linda.
