A Sign From the Universe in Paris ✨☀️🌈
May 13, 2017
Today I received a sign from the universe—that living in Paris, while doing the work I love, is truly possible 😍✨☀️.
We were sitting at a café, having a French breakfast, sipping coffee and enjoying croissants, soaking in Parisian architecture and life. ☺️✨
At the next table, a lovely woman came by with her two little dogs. She tied them up, went inside, then came back out to lovingly pet Charlotte and Puantina. I was instantly charmed—by the dogs, their names, and by this woman herself—so I struck up a conversation.
Her name was Judy, a 65-year-old American woman who had fulfilled her dream of moving to Paris after much travel. On this very day, she had finally found her home after many challenges.
When I told her I thought she looked like a typical French woman with her dogs, she was delighted—turns out she adores French women and everything French, just like I do 😍.
Judy asked where I was from and what I do. I told her that I’m a psychologist and coach 😍✨, and since she was American, I also mentioned The Work of Byron Katie—that I represent it in Georgia and share it with people. She had heard of it and asked me to tell her more.
Of course, as someone deeply in love with The Work, I eagerly shared. I asked her to recall a stressful thought from her life, and offered to guide her through the process. She chose a recent stress—believing she would never find a home in Paris.
Together, we went through the four questions of The Work. With the stressful thought, she felt hopeless, weak, tearful. Without it, in the very same reality, she realized she would be calm, free, exactly the person she had always wanted to be. She was amazed at how simple it could be to find inner peace—even in a stressful situation—by working with her thoughts and letting them go.
Judy told me that so many people in Paris suffer from stress and stressful thinking—that’s why they smoke and drink so much. When she learned that I dream of living in Paris, she said: “This could be so easy for you, because so many people here need exactly what you do.” 😍☀️🙏🏻✨
She was right. In daily routines, we often forget that there is a way—by working on ourselves—to find the inner strength already within us, to free ourselves from stressful thoughts, and to step into peace, freedom, harmony, and happiness.
As we said goodbye, Judy told me that this had been the best day of her life 😍.
I feel so inspired ✨☀️🌈💛—and so ready to share this joy and happiness with many more people around the world through the work I love, with all my knowledge, skills, and experience. Just like Judy did today 😍☀️🌈✨.
With love,
Tina 💛☀️✨
