Welcome to La Belle Vie Show!
In our very first episode, we discuss something we wish people had told us when we were younger, why knowing yourself is a key to happiness and a little preview of what you can expect in future episodes.
We discuss the article "Want to Be Happy? Think Like an Old Person," by John Leland (New York Times) and touch on these points: that happiness is a choice, that darkness or negativity are fleeting, and that ultimately, art, nature and spiritual teachings are what endure. We propose that a mindfulness practice can help us respond constructively to less than ideal circumstances. We also get into on Kristen's favorite movie, how Ally is a wannabe farmer and the many topics we hope to tackle in future episodes. (So. Many. Topics.)
