Picture your vision, express it in a few words and make it your mantra

I have bought many books that promised much wisdom and transformative inner work, only to get tired of looking for that nugget that will shift my thinking and put me on the path toward my dream life. The truth is, most of them, despite being useful, never really ‘spoke’ to me deep down. It doesn’t stop me from searching and Amazon just loves me. I am a ‘valued customer’! No kidding! I am spending so much money on hope — in the shape of the next book recommended by the latest ‘expert’ I started following. Hum!

I am addicted to tea. I often joke that the reason I live in London, rather than my native, beautiful Paris, is because I was sent in exile to the land of tea drinkers. Not drinking coffee when you’re French is pure heresy! So this morning, I was making yet another cup of tea and was about to throw away the cardboard box, having used the last tea bag, when I was stopped in my tracks by the name and slogan on it ‘Everyday. Rich and full bodied’. I never came across the right words to express the life I wanted to live but there they were, straight out of my kitchen cupboard, a philosophy for my life. Yes, I want to live a rich and fully embodied life every day! I could hear one of those slot machines hitting the jackpot in my head.
