- A retrospective look at a life changing decision in 2018 at 48.
Quit my job at Apple Inc. after working for them in multiple geographies and over half a decade. Then moved to Paris to become a full time dance student.
This is about how I came to the decision, finding my favourite chocolate place, where I lived, in Paris et al.

So touching. Didn't expect u to go this candid. Got the feeling God will use u for much more. Keep it up Patsy.
Thank you Alex 🫶 I hope you are right... ha
So proud of you cousin. Life may not goes as we plan. If we let go and let God, we can experience the next level - peacefulness.
Yes exactly cousin
Patsy this is remarkable, illuminating and truly inspirational.
How she made a hard story into a light one. Gosh.
Very touching and gives me the courage to move forward.
You are even more powerful than me... ✊🏻
Patsy, your story is truly beautiful and inspiring. The peace and comfort in your words came through like a ray of sunshine. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you cousin for your beautiful words. It’s been so so lovely to spend time with you and your family this holidays. ❤❤❤
I’m glad I got this recommended to me. I think this is probably a sign to follow my passions and not be afraid.
I’m curious, did you speak French before you moved? And what do you do for work now?
Hi hi - am glad that this helped you in some ways.
I didn't speak any French when I moved there - Paris nowadays can be manageable on a daily life basis with minimal French. Quite a few people speak some level of English.
Not trying to be a therapist - however, sometimes feeling afraid is ok - and its also alright perhaps to not be ready yet? It might be good to understand where the emotion is coming from also.
I am now a dance performance artist. Have started choreographing/as an artistic director to my personal project and commissioned project. There is more information on my website sml.dance in case you want to know more.
All the very best in your path to pursuing your passion.
@@Patsy_Lo thank you so much for your response! I agree that it’s okay to be afraid a bit but I just meant that it will never be too late to do what I love.
I’m still young (22) and in school but I have other passions that I would like to pursue outside of what I study at school (that don’t require a degree) so it’s good to know that once I finish my education and start working that I can still always put time into those passions and it won’t be a waste since it’ll make me happy. I can pursue my passions in small ways alongside what I do career wise in the future. I may not dive in as quickly as you did but even dipping my toes in is a good thing :)
Your story especially spoke to me since I used to study dance in high school. It’s been around 3 years since I’ve taken a class and now I feel like I should drop in again soon.
I checked out your website and it’s beautifully made. I read through it and watched a few works (which were amazing) and I plan on watching the rest!
Thank you again Patsy! I’ve subscribed and I can’t wait to see more from you
@kaylah9206 Hi Hi - thank you for subscribing. And very nice to meet another fellow dancer. Such a beautiful age at 22. It is lovely to hear that you are keeping your passions close to your heart. When I was "saying to myself" that I was too close to start dancing, someone said to me - "never let a number/your age limit your love for life." It means a lot to hear that the video spoke to you. Took me a while to muscle up the courage to put this story out there. But my friend urged me - she felt strongly that it would connect others. I am glad I listened to her. Even if it connects one person properly - it's worth it. If you need any some suggestions as to where to dance in Paris, I can most certainly share that also. All the very best. ✊🏻
I'm so proud of you. 😘💝
Thank you 玉表姐

You've been through rough waves in your life girl but you've found your inner island. You fight bravely. ❤
Thank you… and thank you for watching my videos 💚
@@Patsy_Lo you've popped up ... If you believe me I had the change of my life at 46 and it was a fight with numerous challenges. At 52 I took another one decision to change for second time again while the difficulties were tremendous. I went to Germany where I live now. Nothing easy. I am still trying for the best. Of course we have different lifes but I've got ill in Germany with Fibromyalgia with terrible pains all over my body. It is under control now with medication. I am fighting also darling... I am working on my third change. I am 57...❤️
Ah…. Thank you for sharing with me your story. ❤️ Your spirit comes through in your words and sense that you are a beautiful fighter.
Sending you a big hug. You plan on making some films also? (I just checked out your channel but didn’t see any films yet…)
Fibromyalgia must not be easy in any sense…. I am so sorry. 💚
@@Patsy_Lo it's not easy. It's actually a psychosomatic syndrome... Traumatic experiences who have been pressed deep down because I was always trying to stay strong and this what my environment also expected and demanded because of the conditions that had been created. At the end my existence or my soul couldn't take anymore and collapsed with my body... Then I understood that I had to take care of me deeply. You are inspiring me now beautifully.
I don't want to keep you writing. Just be happy and have a good night 🌃 or good day. I don't know where you are but stay in hapiness 💕
🥹❤️ thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching 🫶
