In this uncertain period, I find that keeping up with your health routines as much as possible become paramount. No more gym? Take a run outside. No more yoga studio? Use yoga apps to keep you motivated. My favorite one is Yoga Studio.
In this endless quest of mine to give more meaning to my life, I’ve come to realize how important it is to learn how to automate. Apps simplify our lives, smart banking makes it ridiculously easy to pay your bills, your friends, your kids’ classes and everyone in between so you end up with much more time on your hands to do what really matters.
And of course, giving your time, energy and money to a cause is instantly gratifying and adds ten folds value to your life.
As I return to the T-Factor in my new home town of London, I realize that the idea behind this business of mine has evolved during the time I was TRANSFERring my family overseas. Wanting to do it all, the Podcast, the Tall fashion, the blog, the this the that, made me realize I can’t do it all if I want to do it well and with meaning. And if you’ve read some of my previous blog posts, you know by now my mission, for myself and you the readers, is to discover and share all the tools to creating a more meaningful life all around. It is, after all, about TRANSFORMATION of the mind, the body, and the soul. Tada, just that.
I want to take this opportunity in my blog to give out the news that my family and I are moving to London town!! Oh dear!
After living for almost 20 years total in the Big Apple, I am excited to be returning to the Big Ben. And to Europe. Well, I guess not quite Europe anymore, specially now that Boris Johnson has been elected Prime Minister! We're in for a clash of the unpredictable Titans between him and Trump!!
My family and I will be closer to Europe and my home country of France and that's what feels amazing. I'll return to a city I used to live in for a couple of years as a 20 year old. Back then I thought London would be a great city to live in as a family, with children and a dog in tow. This vision is now coming to a reality.
We all want to upgrade to a better, more meaningful life and improve ourselves on many levels. Am I right?
What better way to feel the daily pat on the back when you evolve your habits in the household? And this month of July, unless you don't own a phone, it has been a runway of amazing Plastic Busting endeavors on all social media platforms.
Ok, so here’s the deal.
I have been slacking. Or been disorganized or mismanaged my T-Factor launch, probably all of the above. Yes, in this year of self-proclaimed empowerment with taking back ownership of my life and actions, I’ve had a set-back.
One of the reasons I have been missing in action for the past two weeks is actually funny. At least that’s how I see it.
As I sit in the plane on my way to Lebanon for a family visit, I struggle to find joy and peace being with my three children.
There. Sacrilege, I’ve said it.
I must be at the 100th “mommy” at this point, being an hour away from Beirut. Meaning NYC- Paris, lay-over, and now Paris-Beirut, 16 hours in, the kids are ready to climb up the curtains if there were any on this plane. You see, direct flights between the US and Lebanon don’t exist. You can fly direct to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem which are less than 100 miles south of there but flying to Lebanon which shares a border with Israel is non grata.
I’m posting this week some words I have written not so long ago, inspired by the book Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be by Rachel Hollis. She is an amazing Lifestyle expert, creator of TheChicSite.com and CEO of Chic Media company. A powerful author who tells it like it is and exposes the lies we believe about ourselves. In this book, she tackles her own lies she believed about herself one by one to reveal the frauds that they were.
Did you watch the Oscars ?
I must admit, I didn’t mind there not being a host this year, it had a pretty good flow. I enjoyed Melissa McCarthy being SO funny in her Queen Rabbit regalia, this could not have happened had there been a host. I loved Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s performance of Shallow and it’s awesome that Spike Lee got his Oscar for best adapted screen play. So well deserved, I’m looking forward to watching his movie.
One of the organizations I'm getting more involved with was created by one of this year’s two magnificent Nobel Prize laureates, Dr. Denis Mukwege. The second recipient is Nadia Murad. You might know of Nadia as her lawyer is none other than the extraordinary Amal Clooney and they’ve been in the news. More on that further down.
Are you like me and have always been inspired by people who keep to their diet and workout regimen? Do you wonder how in the world some people have that extra accountability button in their system and never falter? Do you also feel like a total failure for not waking up at the crack of dawn to either run outside in the snow or levitate in your living room?
