I recently heard a quote that is relevant to this topic: "Trust the timing of your life." I needed to hear that!
Yes. This is a good one. I think growing in patience is so important.
I needed this, thank you ❤
You are welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Good to hear your process. I share many of the feelings you had. Many are no longer feeling US is "home" or peaceful. That should be a wake up call to the powers that be. On a side note....so many people in the background of a couple of your recent videos seem to wear black or black coats...must be a thing there!
There has definitely been a shift in energy in the US in recent years. As for the black and black coats. I hadn't noticed.
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely inspiring.
Happy you enjoyed this video. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful walk and helpful information.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
That's exactly what I need to work on; the amount that I need in order to sustain myself.
It's good to know that this is your next step. It definitely motivated me to make a plan and work it. Best wishes.
@@PatriciaBrooksCourageCatalyst Your videos have completely transformed my mindset into taking action. I was up late last night working a payment plan for my debt. I want to have a fresh start. I'm so excited! Bonne journée et merci Patricia! Le nom de ma sœur est Patricia aussi !😍
Bon courage, @@parisienneatheart !
Have you ever moved forward with a goal without having everything all figured out in advance? What was your goal and how did it turn out?🤔
Hello Patricia, I am deeply researching Paris area and Lisbon area. My primary stuck point is where is there a supportive intentional and welcoming community of Black folks. I know racisim is everywhere, but it seems France to have a more vocal activist community to push back on racist policy. Still early in my research for Portugal so not sure. My dept is paid off and I am now just saving in this next year. Thank you for your learnings.
Congrats on paying off your debt. This was a game-changer for me in being able to move to France. Continue your research you will find what you are looking for. Thanks for watching.
This was very helpful for me. I also enjoyed the footage as well.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Paris was a bit grey, but Paris is Paris.
Suggestion pour une prochaine vidéo : les raisons qui te donnent tellement envie de rester en France et de ne jamais rentrer aux USA.
Merci beaucoup pour cette bonne idée ! J'avais besoin d'un sujet pour ma prochaine vidéo. Restez à l'écoute ! Merci !
Bonjour Patricia, je viens tout juste de voir tes vidéos . Tu es tellement inspirante. Je procrastine depuis 6 mois . Je suis bloqué et je ne sais pas de quoi j’ai peur ....... Je me demande comment tu fais pour ton permis de conduire . Car j’ai lu qu’après 3 mois je ne peux plus conduire. As-tu refais ton cours de conduite ?? C’est la chose qui me fait le plus hésité, car le canada m’oblige à renoncer à mon permis si je quitte. Et comme j’ai 61 ans , pas facile de recommencer si je dois revenir ...
MERCI À L’AVANCE. J’attends ta réponse avec impatience (P.S. peut-être faire une vidéos a ce sujet , car il y a personne sur la toile qui en parle et je pense que je ne suis pas la seule a me m’interrogé .
Bonjour,
Merci pour votre message. Si j’ai bien compris, vous avez un permis de conduire canadien, vous voulez vous installer en France (ou peut-être vous êtes déjà la) et vous avez peur de passer le test pour un permis en France (ou au Canada si vous décider d’y retourner). C’est ça ? Si oui, les renseignements sur ces sites peuvent vous aider. ca.ambafrance.org/Driving-in-France-with-a-canadian-licence#:~:text=Driving%20licence,-If%20you%20come&text=It%20must%20be%20valid%20and,licence%20for%20a%20French%20licence ET www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1460 . Selon de quelle province vous habitez vous pouvez faire un échange avec votre permis canadien pour un permis français. J’ai eu de la chance de faire un échange parce que mon état a un accord avec la France. Bon courage !
@@PatriciaBrooksCourageCatalyst ,Merci beaucoup Patricia d'avoir pris le temps de me répondre. je vais lire attentivement. Bonne journée
Ça me fait plaisir. Bon week-end !
Did you know the language?
Hi, I had basic French under my belt when I moved here. I've improved so much now. 😀
