Home Actress Maria Bello HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers February 2024 Maria Bello Instagram - This is me after the whole weekend of fancy events… Wow. I forgot how painful it is to wear heels for 3 nights in a row. During my PAUSE I never wore heels and thought i never would again. It’s not only my feet that ache but my whole body aches even two days later. I’m not sure if it hurt so much before the PAUSE but maybe then i didn’t notice so much. My feet hurt so much in fact that backstage at the Emmys while getting group photos taken you will notice I’m barefoot. Chic. I also bumped my big left toe walking up the stairs to receive the award the night before and so it REALLY hurts. Blood was dripping down my high heel as i stood on stage. It wasn’t so bad but still… I remember telling @aliwong a year into my PAUSE that I would never wear heels again. That I would never walk down a red carpet fearing I would fall on my face with my toes smooshed in pointy shoes. But then I did. Because I’m in the second half of life I get to change my mind as often as I like. I get to berate high heels and then wear them for a night because they looked really great with my dress. I’m finding in the second half I can do whatever I want to do but I’m also aware of the consequences. I do a big event once every couple of years. I’ll save the heels for then. In the PAUSE we start to get clear on what’s working for us and what isn’t. And then we get to choose what we are willing to sacrifice for those choices. A bloody toe and bloated feet? It gave me time to sit on my couch in sweats for the last few days and watch home make over shows(Million Dollar Decorators is the best btw. Merci @kathrynmireland ). I’m ok with my choice but will stick with my old boots and Birkenstocks until another pretty outfit begs for those ungodly torture devices.

Maria Bello Instagram – Books have always been my hobby. I have a library I’ve accumulated over the years with some books that I’ve had since high school. That’s why I started doing literary salons in my library with bookseller Jeannine cook @harrietsbookshop. This month it was with author Arlan Hamilton @arlanwashere for her book Your First Million. Her personal story – from sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport in 2015, to being on the cover of Fast Company in 2018 with the headline “Venture Catalyst” is just the beginning. She now owns a huge venture capital firm @backstagecapital dedicated to investing in underestimated entrepreneurs. Her story is unbelievably inspiring. She writes that ANYONE can be a millionaire and that anyone can be TAUGHT to be a millionaire. If you’d like to read her story and find out the ins and outs of money order your copy from @harrietsbookshop
Maria Bello Instagram – Task #2 – Life Review 

Well this task can suck. Over my PAUSE this was one of the most crucial but painful exercises. It wasn’t linear but was a rolling investigation. At times I could investigate my past intellectually and it would feel ok. But when the reality of my past, particularly how I’ve hurt those I love and how I’ve been hurt myself, became emotional, I thought I would die from the pain. It was hard to process and then accept that I was so very wounded as a child. It was even harder to process and accept that my trauma from that made me make bad decisions. But it was also freeing. Along with investigating the painful, there was a lot in my past that I feel good about and the decisions I made. I could appreciate that the lonely girl from a blue collar family in philly came to Hollywood and really made a life and career for herself. I could give myself a pat on the back for the ways I did help, grow and create and maintain relationship. For every “negative” there seemed to be a “positive”. I was lucky enough to have a therapist walk me through it. But I have some friends who did online group therapy and were able to peel their own layers. I wrote down everything I remembered year by year for 56 years. Some was beautiful and some ugly. I cried a lot. Some days I could barely get out of bed but then Paris would call me to walk. It showed me that I can continue to walk through the second half of my life without the shame or guilt I hadn’t processed in the first half. At the end of my PAUSE, after conquering this mountain, I feel more free and clear than ever. Dig deep. There are many gifts in the soil if we take the chance to be 100% honest with ourselves.
