| HONOR | . When honor happens seamlessly there is no beginning, and no end. . Honor is the invitation. The invitation to see all parts of ourselves through a loving lens, to open our hearts to be fully seen by others, and to see others from this whole place. . Do you honor yourself? All of the pieces of you? If not, it's time to consider this practice. A new, really big, year is coming, and the conversation is shifting into unity. And this starts with you. . I love you. ________________________ #thehellyeslife #unity #unityconsciousness #yingandyang #acroyoga #partneryoga #bhakti #womeninspiringwomen #communityovercompetition #exploretocreate .
| FEAR | . I've been jolted lately with reminders that many of us aren't actually afraid of failure, we are actually afraid of succeeding. . Succeeding often means not hiding, a higher self or purpose, being seen, work, praise, acknowledgement...it often means we are no longer small, or comfortable. . It requires courage. . Does this resonate? Is there something in your life that you are afraid of succeeding at? If so, how can I help you find courage to step into this in 2019? _______________________ 📷: @lericksonportraits | #thehellyeslife #fear #courage #womeninspiringwomen #communityovercompetition #exploretocreate #createcultivate #womenentrepreneurs .
| ISLANDS | . I was reminded today how far we still have to go towards unity. Sometimes I forget because I choose to live in a compassion bubble, and surround myself with like-minded lovers of a progressive and optimistic approach. . But there are islands out there that want to remain in their solidarity, their dogma, their old paradigms of duality. . This is the ultimate test as a teacher and liver of compassion, to let these islands live in their truth, honoring their choice, but standing firm in mine...all with and in love. . And this is where the lesson lives for today: we can disagree, we can live on different islands, we can hold different beliefs and speak different languages, but we MUST do this with love and compassion every step of the way. We must. . Today I vow to pass this test, and to always practice with my heart first. ________________________ #thehellyeslife #love #compassion #dogma #loveeachother #diversity #onelove #bhakti #yoga #womeninspiringwomen #communityovercompetition .
| DREAM IT REAL | . The trick to dreaming anything into reality is to feel like it is already yours. . Any thought, action, movement, vibration, words...to the contrary of this will slow you down. . Steps to dreaming something into reality: . 1. Determine your dream, in detail. 2. Close your eyes and visualize every detail. 3. Notice how you feel while you are seeing this image of your dream. 4. Open your eyes, keep the feeling, and feel, act, talk, vibe...as if it is indeed yours. 5. Repeat 2, 3, and 4 as needed. 6. Be patient, surrender (because you already have it), and trust divine timing. . Try this this week. What will you dream into reality in 2019? ________________________ #thehellyeslife #dream #dreamcatcher #sayulita #mexico #madeinmexico #pachamama #manifest #vortex #createyourownreality #whplayers .
| Croissant . Most of us know to stay clear of certain topics for general, friendly conversation, like money, politics, religion... . I'm learning that opinions about pastry in Paris should be on this list too. . I get the most DMs about this when I post a claim about my opinions of "the best" this or that. Especially when it comes to croissant. . I don't know how many croissants are made daily in Paris, or how many cafes and patisseries there are but it must be a mind-blowing amount. . What I do know is that I'm currently, wildly, madly in-love with my favorite Paris croissant made by a man famous for his macarons... . Behold the @pierrehermeofficial pain au chocolat with pistachio! If you ask me today what my favorite croissant is in Paris, or what one of the best is? I submit this beauty as my answer. . Thank you @pierrehermeofficial for the brand-new café in the 6th, seconds from my studio...I have zero willpower and have been feasting regularly. _____________________________ 📍Paris, France | #paris #parisjetaime #parisisalwaysagoodidea #pariscroissant #croissant #frenchpastries #foodie #foodporn .
| Neck Duvet . If you are watching my Story these days then you know I've started dating in Paris. One of my dates asked me how I felt about the French scarf culture, he said it was as if they all wore "duvets..." . Neck duvets. Oui! What do I think? Sounds parfait to me! Especially today, it was 9 degrees... . Just one more week and I'm trading in my duvet for a bikini for the holidays...and just the thought of this, and the duvet, make the chill bearable. ___________________________ 📍Paris, France | #paris #parisjetaime #frenchfashion #parisstreetstyle #parisisalwaysagoodidea #babyitscoldoutside .
| French... . My newest endeavor. . It's humbling to start from scratch. My French lessons are filled with more than language acquisition, they are the beginning of a beautiful phase and I feel long time coming chapter in my life... __________________________ 📍Paris, France | #french #paris #parisjetaime #learningfrench .
. . "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." - Harper Lee . From one of my very favorite books, which I taught to my sophomore classes when I taught high school English. . I was reminded of how fond I am of this book when I saw a group of French students carrying it on the metro recently. . Literature is universal, and I'm currently madly in-love with the conversations and language that can be inspired by this notion. . Do you know which book I'm quoting here? And, have you read it? __________________________ 📍Paris, France | #bibliophile #lookingdown #paris #parisjetaime #sotd #parisisalwaysagoodidea #literature #literary .
