Gratitude Friday is a weekly ritual I started in order to focus on all the small and big positive things that happened during my week. I invite you to join me, you’ll see how much being thankful can change your life. If you want to know more about it, read my introduction post.
Hello !
How are you doing this week ? Friday is almost halfway done here in Vancouver, it is a grey rainy day. Both my girls are sick, so they stay home (it was professional day at Grenouille’s school so she had the day off anyway). I am happy the week-end is nearly here.
I can’t deny it anymore, Fall is there now. I love this season but knowing that the rain saison is there too does not make me that happy. And despite the sunny days we still get, I feel like I am in lack of serious real Vitamin D.
This week, I am thankful for:
- Practical Reiki and the fact that my daughters keep asking me to heal them with it when they have a booboo or a concern, my mom benefits a lot from it as well.
- Good Fall days
- Weight Watchers
- The answers to my contest (here and on my francophone blog). You can still participate 🙂
- Music. Always.
- I finally have some encaustic medium. I used it on my latest painting and really love the look it gives. But now, I have to learn all the possibilities it offers.
- This painting. Her name is Samsâra (I published a few pics of her on my Facebook page).
- I decided to change the name of my Etsy shop. From InnerVoice (without an «S») to InnerWorlds. It still reflect my Universe and what I create and there won’t be any confusion because of the typo anymore (InnerVoices was someone else).
- Speculoos spread. You may wonder what the heck Speculoos is. Let me tell you: it’s a biscuit from East of France and Belgium, full of delicious spices (I use it instead of the graham crackers when I bake cheesecake, let me tell you this is Heaven on Earth). They made a spread from it. YUM. BUT it is as addictive as Nutella is. Thank you Catherine !
- Mamounette arrives in 4 days.
- Halloween and Samhain are around the corner now.
- I received my order from Art from the Heart, new paint and ink spray, gorgeous colors.
- My iPhone (and I am not an Apple fanatic), even if it’s only a 3GS and that I could use an upgraded version.
- Cooking chef Michael Smith.
- This big dream that is slowly taking form (if only I’d stop blocking myself).
- My friend Aurore got the condo she wanted. She rocks the casbah !
- Candles from ZenaMoon that brighten my days.

could have been a better week but I am thankful for :
-the things I manage to get done to organize myself for leaving (and then, not having to do everything at the last minute)
-the awesome memories of the last week end with my mom and my godmother
-the conversation with my sister (even though it was quick and difficult)
-the support from my friends who are going through worse stuff but are still there for me
-the money I sent back home, because I managed to save as much as I wanted (dommage que la parité euro-dollar soit pas cool ^_^)
-my ability to say no to myself and to others when it is needed
-the nice time I’m having with my host family
-the lovely cookbook I received today
-seeing myself so changed, and in a way I seem to like!
I realized today how I’m always looking forward to reading your Gratitude Friday and so I thought that for once, if I don’t take the time to post it on my blog, I should at least share it with you here!
I’m so so so so soooooo happy to know that you’re Mom is coming so soon!
Have a lovely week-end!
Love your posts. Thanks.
