Heya !

I hope all the US people out there had a blissful Thanksgiving yesterday. It’s the time of the year when most people introspect and look for what they are thankful for. And what if it becomes a more regular practice, done more often than once a year ?

For a small reminder on the Gratitude Friday principle: it’s here.

This week, I am thankful for..:

✧ We found a total of 39 cents on the street. Yes, we always look on the sidewalk because people here tend to let some coins on the ground. My girls are always delighted to find a nickel or more. Last Sunday, we found 16 cents in total, while we were walking.

✧ I am reading an awsomely useful book while I’m alone on the bus (when I come back from dropping the Trollettes at preschool and later when I go to pick them up): Developping Intuition, by Shakti Gawain. I love her and I am thankful she exists and share with the World. I am so glad that her book about Creative Visualization was on my way ten years ago or so. It changed my life and I still use it.

✧ I am hold in my project by my Loved Ones and other people I talk about it helps me to go for it.

✧ I am thankful for the women who commented and supported my wish last Wednesday.

✧ For the “pizza lunch” organized at my daughters’ preschool. It was really good to see other parents again and to be more relaxed.

✧ For the confession I made to my friend Alienor. Such a relief for my heart.

✧ Hana Pestle and her songs. It makes me be aware of the long road I went on since my “Black-out” year. I now can be moved by songs without being drowned in my Spleen, as I used to be.

I have an habit: when I am angry against someone, instead of beginning a fight (even a verbal one), I write an unsent letter to the person and then I usually destroy it.
By doing that, I can easily release my anger without hurting anyone; I hate conflict but sometimes I am really bothered by people and need to get this off of my head.
Writing always was something good for me in this way.

We can write unsent letters for any reason: nobody will read them and that’s what good with this process: you can be mean, angry… all these feelings you don’t want to show but that would eat you from the inside if you keep it.

For example, during my second pregnancy, I wrote to my father and burnt the letter… I let it go in the wind.

I often find inspiration in songs and music… It is amazing how it can suit my mood (and shift it, too).
I love the singer P!nk. I love most of her songs, I love the woman. She does not seem to fear to sing what she has to tell the World, even if it can shock the public opinion. In her album “I’m not Dead”, there is a song called “Conversations with my 13 year-old self“, in which she sings to her when she was 13. And it gives me chills. Everytime I listen to it. Every single time.

I have a year in my Life that I consider to be my Black-Out, the worst year ever. It’s the year I turned 18 (I’m born in September but I consider this specific year to be the year I was 18, even if it was only for 3 months).

(yes, I know the bookmark of my Moleskine got on the scanner screen, but I like the picture that way )

I wanted to write to me when I was this age, and the next step is to write to the Me-in-about-10-years.
Why ? Because this year was the tougher one, I had nobody to cheer me up and now that I can see it with some retrospection that this year leads me to who I am now more than all the other ones.

If you decide to write a letter to yourself, you may cry as I did, but these tears are GOOD and you don’t have to be ashamed of letting them go, you really shouldn’t be.

I made a pocket where I can hide my letter (the stiches are absolutely awful but I don’t want to care about it).

And you, what do you have to say to your younger self ? If you want, tell me about it. I will be happy to hear from you

PS: I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all my neigbours from the South (the US people). Don’t forget, tomorrow is Friday, which means a new Gratitude Friday. It’s the perfect time to share what you are thankful for with us here

Wednesdayyyyyy, so we wishcast to the Universe, following Jamie‘s prompt.

This week, we go forward !

What step do you wish to take ?

I wish to take a step toward this huge project I have in mind and I want to give birth to. It’s something personal but the purpose is to help people, I hope it will indeed.

I have the bad tendancy to be frozen by Fear. I find 1001 excuses to avoid beginning it, and then I feel sooooo guilty.

Write to exorcise, Write to tell my Story, Paint and Draw to make Ugliness Beautiful…

While I am writing all this, I have Natasha Bedingfield’s song “Unwritten” that is flowing in my mind…

Small bonus video:

This week, Jamie invites us to think of what we wish to embrace.

It’s really strange because when I saw this week’s subject, I was absolutely certain I already talked about it… so I looked at my archives and no, it’s the first time. So I don’t know why it rings a bell in my head…

I’m sorry to be late. Again. I promise next week I’ll try to be right on time and post on Wednesday

By the way… it’s a good question !

I wish to embrace my own Divinity. It may sound presomptuous but I don’t think it is, in reality. We all have a God(dess) that lies within us and just wait to be gently woken up.

And I found my Inner Goddess, I’m at the dawn of knowing her but I really enjoy it and I am amazed.

Embrace your own Inner God(dess), feel how gorgeous it is. Be yourself, trust yourself, listen to this tiny little voice that tells you how beautiful you are, as you are right now. You can reach any goal, yes, YOU can.

This picture I took this month (November 2009) and when I saw it on the computer I was kind of chocked. Because something changed in my face. I can’t really tell you what is is, it’s somewhere in my eyes and on my mouth. While my life is shifting because of what I discover, learn, experience, enjoy, I change too.

Hello Hello !

It’s Friday, so it’s nearly the week-end: yipaaaa !

How was your week ? I hope it was awsomely beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by, and thanks to all the people that take time to review their week and share their thankfullness with me, with us.

A small reminder on the Gratitude Friday principle: here.

This week, I am grateful for..:

❋ The people who are able to recognize my Husband awsomeness and want him to work with them. It may be finally his Dream Job and I am thankful that it’s finally happening, even if it takes longer than planned.

❋ The long discussion I had with my Cocotte (one of my Soul-Sister) via MSN. I have not talk to her for a long time, what seems to be a long time. So it’s good to catch-up and it was as if she was close to me.

❋ Having Alice in my life. In a few years, I will be the one to tell “I was the first she did a webcam reading with” lol. You betta watch her

❋ My loving Husband, that show me how much he loves me, everyday. I feel so wonderful in his eyes.

❋ The kindness of the women that take care of my Trollettes.

❋ The job I was recommended for, even if it’s 8 hours a week, it can pay my art classes at Emily Carr. I hope I take the good decision, I am not sure of it yet.

❋ The advices I am given regarding a BIIIIIIIG project I have in mind.

❋ My friend Elodie will look after my daughters tomorrow, so Cheridoo and I will go to the movie to watch New Moon (Twilight sequel).

❋ The fact that I am beginning of accepting myself for who I truly am, and it feels really good.
