AND, Not OR - Is This the Wrong Paris?
“And, Not Or — Is This the Wrong Paris?”
In this week’s episode of Law Days and Lattes, host Sidney Wheelan, founder of the Wheelan Law Firm, reflects on finding meaning in life’s unexpected detours and what a new romantic comedy, The Wrong Paris, can teach us about balance, gratitude, and growth.
When the film’s main character discovers that her dream trip to “Paris” isn’t taking her to France, but to Paris, Texas, she’s forced to rethink what “the wrong place” really means. For Sidney, the story hit close to home because she grew up in Paris, Missouri, and understands that tension between small-town roots and big-world dreams.
Sidney shares her personal journey from a small town to travels around the world and the powerful lesson she’s learned along the way:
Life isn’t about choosing either/or.
It’s about embracing and.
You can love your hometown and explore the world.
You can be practical and creative.
You can care for others and chase your passions.
✨ Key Takeaways:
- Sometimes “the wrong Paris” moments in life lead you to the right lessons.
- It’s possible to hold more than one truth, to live fully in both gratitude and ambition.
- Ask yourself: Where are you saying either/or when you could be saying and?
