THE SECRET:

-Beauty

-The appreciation of beauty

-The abundance of beauty

-The watering of beauty

-The slowing down over beauty

-The pace of life that provokes beauty

-When you see beauty, speak it

LA VIE EST BELLE

-Encompasses everything about what drew me to France in the first place

-Looking at it from an adult's perspective, I see that she always has a choice

-Make a decision about what kind of life you want to life

-Based on that decision, determine your mindset

-Remember, no one applauds over tiny shifts - it takes time to see the results you want and that will be noticed

ACTIVATION OF BEAUTY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY

-Pursuing a beautiful relationship and marriage

-Living out a beautiful marriage

-Activating our dreams of what a beautiful lifestyle looks like (in Ashburn)

-Planning and taking risks to live out some of our beautiful dreams (like traveling internationally with kids)

-Slowing down and taking note of what strikes and moves us

-Keeping memories together

-Adjusting expectations to allow for as much beauty possible

WHY BEAUTIFUL LIVING WORKS FOR ME

-It helps me set my priorities and know the difference between priorities and preferences

-My stress is reduced = my body weight is more aligned

-I have learned to change my relationship with food and with pleasure

-The focus of beauty keeps my life simple and uncomplicated - helps me say 'no' when I need to

-Beautiful living is not measurable or able to be compared - therefore there is no finish line, no accomplishment, no comparison. It has helped me detox perfectionism from my life.
