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 !
Ebb and flows would be the title of the movie inspired by my life 😉 Well… I learn to go with it, as simple as that.
This week, I am thankful for:
- – This week was back-to-school for both my girls. We are getting used to our new routine, to Grenouille taking the schoolbus (which she is very happy about)… I am happy this system exists in North America, the bus comes at the corner of our street and simplifies our life a lot !
– Being back to painting. I find my happy place, I needed and missed painting, creating, getting messy with my hands. I guess I cannot deny it anymore: I am an artist.
– My friend Anu, her again. She listens to me babling, whining, having epiphanies. She is the light I thought did not exist.
– My mom’s strength of character.
– Energy drinks that help me to keep going, even if I hope to find something more natural.
– I finally made my mind and decided to start a monthly newsletter. I will write it only in english first and will see if the francophone community is interested in following me via a newsletter. You can sign up right there in the sidebar, it is called Inner Whispers =====>
– My perseverance to take care of myself (or at least, I am trying) without procrastinating. I am proud to still be able to look after my kids, even when exhausted like i havent sleep in weeks and in physical pain, when my world seem to be turned upside down.
– I had my first (free) chinese medicine consultation. Seems like I am too stressed, my chi does not circulate properly. Damn !
– I will begin my 4-week Practical Reiki formation next week, and it feels like I am finally going where I should. And new possibilities are already blooming.
– I am alive. And despite all the rocks, all the suffering, I am still here. Trying to do my best with what I am given.

I love reading your gratitude friday, it always makes me tell myself another time, each week, how important positivism is!
Out of topic but, when did you change your girl in your header? I realize just right now it is now that girl, so important to you!
(it’s fun that you comment in my english blog instead of on the french. just noticing, i don’t care and i am happy you are coming over).
I am so glad that my Gratitude Friday blogposts reminds you how positivity can change everything !
I don’t remember exactly when but it was this week. I have to send you an email and ask your advice about something creativity related 😉
because I have your english blog in my feed reader and… I can feel better the flow of your artistic spirit in English. I’m still love French very much but English speaks more to me. So I comment here in English to respect the other English-speaking readers because I know what it is when you’re with people who are talking in front of you to their friends in their language and you don’t have a clue of what they’re talking about. Not cool! For the few times I may add something in French, there must always be a good reason then!
A creativity-related question? lot of responsibility but I’ll be happy to help you as much as I can!
I also notice that you changed your avatar. I really love this picture!

Again, you inspire me. The picture you sent me is on my wall where I can see it while I do my work. I am thankful that you lift me up out of my life, into the beauty of connection with everyone in the universe.
You are amazing.
I am so happy you love what you bought from me <3
Thank you so much Alli for being you.
Thank you for keeping this gratitude blog going. I am back to it and hope to continue it weekly.
I am glad to hear from you Lucy !
It is okay not to do it every week you know, don’t blame yourself for it but celebrate each time you find a moment to reflect and be thankful.
Aww, thanks Nolwenn. What you wrote really touched me deeply.
