Hello Beautifulzzz !

Friday again, I am happy to see this one coming. Had a pretty crappy week but some highlights.

I learn to embrace the negativity that comes my way here and there because it teaches me, because it makes me stronger (or at least it seems so), because I appreciate even more what I have thanks to it.

This week, I am thankful for:

• The busy-ness. I love being busy.
• We were called yesterday afternoon by Grenouille’s agent (it seems like a big word) because she was wanted to a casting. We went and she really enjoyed the process. Wait and see now. I am happy because we (her dad and I) hadn’t over done it, she was dressed casually, I did a pretty braid in her hair but nothing more, she was just herself… compared to the little girls in tutus with make-up sometimes we meet, I am happy we didn’t do that to her. She had fun and it is all that matters to me.
• We received a package from my in-laws, with clothes for the girls and food for us. Koala has finally a ballerina-like dress she can’t stop wearing (she would sleep in it if I’d allow her heeeee).
• My husband was a bit sick on tuesday so we spent the morning together.
• Had our semestrial dentist appointment, no cavities. YAAAY ! i am good for another 6 months.
• We’re having a pic-nic at Granville Island with Koala’s preschool tonight.
• I finished my Art Journal and have a pretty one to begin anew in (will talk about it tomorrow and will record the flip-through soon).
• I was attacked by an intense headache coming along with strong nausea, but my daughter was very nice with me as I came back to bed trying to sleep.
• I am going to the hairsalon tomorrow. I am pretty nervous but excited to change my hairdo. Lice can have positive effect as without this shit, I would have waited longer.
• I started a 4-week teleclass to become a Certified Vision Board Counselor. I signed up for the home study last year but have not commited to it. Now is the time for me to do it and do it well.
• My husband and I talked a lot about our future and made some pretty big decisions.
• We are heading to Seattle on sunday to see the Sketchbook Project where my sketchbook is. If you participated in the 2011 edition, let me a comment so I will be able to check yours

I know this week was emotionally draining for me, and not only me. Try to think of all these things that made you smile and to focus on them <3

Hello !

June June June… I guess I wasn’t ready for it to come now. But it also means school year is almost over for my Trollettes, days are supposevely becoming warmer (do you know that Vancouver is the only canadian city that didn’t get over 20°C yet ?).

This week I am thankful for:

• The Fabric Art Journals book I finally received and all the possibilities I now see. The thing is I never was a quilter and some of the materials are like aliens to me (batting ? Interfacing ? duh !).
• Canada Post is not in strike yet in BC. I like the fact they do it Province by Province in order not to paralyse the all country at the same time.
• Yesterday at the farm with Koala’s preschool. Despite the freezing heavy rain. And thank you to the schoolbus driver who dropped us at home on the way back so we avoided 20mn of walk under the rain and 30mn in the transit.
• The pleasure I felt of doing our bento, I haven’t realized how much I miss it (Grenouille’s lunch are not bento-like).
• The painting I started this week, going outside my comfort zone.
• I have almost finished my current Art Journal and it makes me a bit euphoric.
• Sunshine is announced for the days to come.
• Pizze we ordered yesterday night. We tried a new place called Supreme Pizza, suggested by Suzie.
• The little prophecy received this morning via Maïlys on Facebook and the video of the movie August Rush she posted.
• I read several blogs sharing their Gratitude Friday and it makes me happy.

Wednesday June 1st. JUNE. I mean the middle month of the year. Already there. Argh…

Today, Jamie asks us an important question: What is your money wish ?

For about a month or so (I am losing track of time when it comes on «when did this start ?»), I joined a facebook group focused on positively attracting money. Sounds weird, maybe but I learn a lot in this group. Don’t laugh, the title is… well it is what it is, but I bought a book called «How to be wildy wealthy fast» by Sandy Forster. I will talk about it if you are interested. I will create my prosperity binder today, following the turorial by Laura from Follow the paper trail.
I take all this very seriously, fighting my old demons and believes about money («having money is bad because it changes people in a negative way and I dont want to be like that.» is the hardest one). I experienced several times the power of positive thinking, especially when it comes to money. It does not mean you don’t have to work your ass off, but it helps.

I want to find the right words for my wish today because it is such an important one.

I wish to experience long lasting abundance in my life.
I wish to be confident about having enough money to pay all the bills on time and having extra money to put on the saving accounts.
I wish to be wildy wealthy because it will assure a good life for my daughters’ (paying their education no matter the price of it, a car of their own when it will be needed etc), a home that will be ours, and extras for our close family members who need it too (sharing is so so important).
I wish to teach the value of money to my kids but also that they don’t have to worry about it.

Thank you for wishing along with me (I tried to comment on your blogs but my internet connection is acting crazy and most of the time today it does not allow me to comment, sorry about that).
