In these final weeks before relocating to Switzerland for up to two years, I’ve been feted by US-based friends and colleagues before departing. And my Geneva-based as well as wider circle of European friends are planning welcome celebrations for me upon arrival. In recent years as many I’ve loved and admired have moved on, I’ve come to have an ever deeping appreciation for treasuring each moment I get to spend with those I cherish. So, I’ll stay connected wherever I live/work. My next post may come from Lausanne: voyez-vous bientôt; tout a l’heure!

Good luck settling into your new home in Geneva. Fais signe quand tu penses venir à Paris. As someone embarked on my own “new phase” of life in Europe, I wish you all the best with yours.

Wow! I continue to be amazed at the woman that you are. I don’t know if you’ll remember me, but I visit you in your home with Yoland King, and you and I had a wonderful talk about life, marriage, etc. I think of you often.
Safe travels my friend, and please keep in touch.

Bon voyage Nadine! I send all good thoughts and friendship as you embark on your next adventure. You are a magnificent model for the natural flow and enriched acceptance of life being lived episodically. A new location, a new language, new friends and new thoughts. All to soon become part of the uniquely whole human you are and continue to become.
Much love,

Nadine – congratulations on launching your new intiative. I spent 15 years going back and forth to work at the UN in Geneva and I know the city and its environs fairly well. I hope you have many wonderful strolls by the Lake and that you have plenty of time to take advantage of your very central location. It is a beautiful region and easy to get to almost everywhere. Breathe deeply and enjoy every minute.
I look forward to hearing about how your thinking evolves and the new ideas that inevitably come from a change in scenery and people.
All the best for a grand adventure,

Nadine, All of us at Amnesty International appreciate your leadership and advocacy on our Executive Director’s Leadership Council, and it’s always so much fun when we get to do a major project together. So thank you for going the extra mile again-and-again. You’re one of my go-to people for sound, smart advice in the worlds of philanthropy and advocacy. Whether it’s you and Jerry co-hosting an Amnesty International event with CNN to watch South Africa’s World Cup this summer in NYC — or inviting a hundred people into your home to mobilize for U.S. legislation to stop violence in Congo — or hanging with Nicolas Cage to advocate for post-Katrina resources in New Orleans.
We’ve got a lot done together.
Thank you for your energy and spirit, and the life you bring to the human rights movement. Am looking forward to seeing you soon, before this starts to sound like a eulogy!
