Phoenix in Paris
I lived in Paris during a very difficult transitional period of my life. I began a blog to share my thoughts (as well as some local destinations I liked). I’m re-sharing some of those posts here; please be advised that many of the themes are more mature in content than elsewhere on my website. About: Growth, expansion, development ~ and Paris. Author: I love to learn, ask questions, explore things from different perspectives, and reflect. Pheonix photo credit

Healing through Yoga // Affordable Yoga & Fitness, Paris
I’m overhauling my life. This choice was not entirely voluntary and comes with a great deal of pain; yet I feel incredibly grateful to have to the opportunity I do right now to grow. Every day I am bombarded with new ideas and perspectives that challenge old beliefs and allow me to view the world, and myself, in a different way – to reflect and delve deeper into my being, if I only choose to allow myself to be open and vulnerable. To be a phoenix. And yes… this is often overwhelming. Yoga is one of the “constants” I’m clinging to. The physical benefits seem minor compared to the inner peace and calm…

Pain au chocolat – Boulangerie Thevenin (6th arrondissement)
It’s hard to go wrong with breads/pastries/viennoiseries in Paris (it’s like pizza: even if you get a bad one, it’s still decent), but Boulangerie Thevenin is my current neighborhood favorite for pain au chocolat. One HUGE flaky, buttery, chocolaty treat will run you 1,25 € – the best bang for your buck I’ve seen in the area. Conveniently located by the Saint-Placide metro (line 4) in the 6th arrondissement, it’s a great place to stop for a treat before visiting the Jardin du Luxembourg or wandering around Montparnasse 🙂 Phoenix photo credit: https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=104284 #bakery #boulangerie #food #JardinduLuxembourg #Montparnasse, #PainauChocolat #Paris #SaintPlacide #Thevenin #Viennoiserie
