days I will never forget
Hello everyone! I will see you August 1st, once I have this whole new life just a bit more figured out ❤️ so many contrasts: things feel slower... yet time is flying by. I think I need to do a hundred things, when I really only need to do one at a time. Life is overwhelming, yet comforting, scary yet exciting. Things are hard sometimes, and yet my family is supporting me each step of the way. And at the end of the day, this new life is absolutely overflowing with love, which keeps me going through it all.

Fixing my attention span - healing an exhausted brain
Переглядів 181 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video I wanted to talk about my attention span, and how it was affected by my internet and phone usage during my college days, often using an otherwise wonderful tool in unhealthy ways, particularly social media. I love technology, but realized I needed to cultivate balance, not addictive habits. I noticed such a big change in my ability to be without stimulation that I decided certain ...

In this video I wanted to share a bit about my personal experience letting go of the weight of expectation I put on myself for so many years, and realizing that with each passing day my aspirations and goals felt less necessary in order to feel like I’ve ‘done something’ with my life. I still have things I’d like to do, but I suppose the big change is that I’m not putting pressure on myself to ...

Ok, so… this video is a bit all over the place, but it’s the beginning of a big project: a few weeks go my husband and I started a huge and in-depth journey of going through every item in our home to decide how to simplify, minimize our items (while prioritizing our art hobbies and baby supplies, of course) and embrace a new era of living more intentionally, with a focus on slowness, simplicity...

I've recently made some bad decisions for my business... in contrast, I've also recently made some of the best decisions for myself as an individual. Nope, nothing magical happened, I didn't find a way to work 'smarter' while still staying true to myself, but we are going to be ok, and healthier and happier because of it. I wanted to talk about this, perhaps to deglamorize my experience being s...

Ahhh! I was just wondering how you were. Congratulations! ❤❤❤
Congratulations 🎈… so happy for U2
Congratulations on your beautiful little one. I know you are going to be an excellent mother, you seem to have such a gentle soul. I’m truly happy for you. Enjoy these magical days, they fly fast. God bless you and yours.
I remember the first morning waking up to my baby. For the first few seconds it's a totally normal day, but then you see your childs face and your heart explodes with a love you never knew was possible....and the world is never the same again❤
Congratulations on the birth of your baby. 💕
Congratulations on your family’s newest blessing ✨❤✨❤️✨❤️ 💐💐💐
Congratulations paola❤ You are my inspiration. I'm from Bangladesh. But I'm a big fan of you from last 2years.I love painting also.Actually I found myself when I saw your videos. Take love❤
Much love to you and to your family dear Paola! ❤️🙏❤️
Congratulations Paola ❤
I was told by my midwife to enjoy every minute with my eldest son when he was a baby as he would be grown up in no time. I thought at the time it was a ridiculous thing to say. She was right. 18 years has past in a blink of an eye and both my boys are young men. The years when they were young were the best years of my life. Enjoy your precious time with your beautiful baby. 😊
❤ Congratulations
Always the happiest news.
I just got chills! Happy, wonderful, excited, motherly loving chills! This is the sweetest time in life. I am so happy for you!
Congratulations🎉❤😊

This endearing gift to you is beyond what words can tell! ❤ May you enjoy each day as a gift in itself, with your precious bundle of a gift, living life together in all its joys & beauty, intermixed! ✨💫🍃🌸🍃 My deepest congrats, Paola, to you & yours, X Sending my love… 🍃✨
I had a spring baby, in my favorite month April, and she turned 24 on April 24th of 24, so neat ❤😊
