Welcome to this new Gratitude Friday! Feel free to share with me your (partial or full) gratitude moments in the comments; that way I can hold joy for you ✿ (you know that makes me happy to make you happy).

This week has really been shitty on an energy level, for me. I don’t know if it was Tuesday’s Full Moon in Virgo (my Sun sign) or something else but everything has felt off.
Instead of fighting it, though, I decided to linger in it. To accept that it’s okay to not feel 300% all the time. Especially knowing that “this too shall pass”.

This week, I am thankful for:

• My BFF (referred to as “Cocotte”)
• My husband’s understanding
• My Mom
• Mae, my 13yo daughter
• Being part of the Six Moons School
• Selling one painting (PS: my Etsy shop is still having a sale before I close it)
• Journaling
• The possibility to rest when I need it
• Amazing books, and therefore our free access to a HUGE public library in Montréal
• New music from my favorite artists.

I know I know… I said I would be more regular in sharing my Gratitude Friday blog posts in 2019 but I did not, so far. I would usually apologize for it but I do not feel like I should, so I won’t.
I have a lot going on in my mind, I fear my daily journaling. And in fact, I have not written in weeks because I am too afraid of seeing the words on paper…

This week, some good shit I am thankful for:

• My best friend and our no-bullshit accepted rule
• My Mom for always being so supportive, no matter what crazy thing I decide to chase
• Books
• Music
• Ideas
• Possibilities
• Getting help and input in Six Moons School
• the beauty of fresh fluffy snow, and snow day (aka no school!)
• taking my health back, eating better, working out again after a pause
• swear words

We can’t deny that winter really is here in Québec as this week has been one of the more intense yet: snow storm then icy rain storm.
However, we were lucky not to have any power outage, so there’s that.

This week, I am thankful for:

• The safety of our home
• The crampons I can put under my boots to walk on these icy roads
• The Book Of Days 2019 class. January’s lessons pushed me out of my comfort zone like crazy but it was needed.
• Daily talk with my best friend of 15 years.
• The ritual preparation
• Songs that speak to me on a cellular level
• Sleep
• My sacred adornments (aka jewelry and clothes)
• The power of creativity

A short note about the song I have picked for this week: 
I have talked to you about it in the past, I have never been officially diagnosed with depression. However, I am not blind and know this is one of those things I live with. I feel like I could have write this song (same with “Real friends” by Camilla Cabello)

This week is a little weird, Mom is now back home to France after spending 3 months here. It was good to have her for the major holidays in December. We are a family of expatriate and it was our choice, but the solitude can be heavy; people tend to forget that…

This week, I am thankful for:

• The time spent with Mom
• Having a home, food to cook
• My date with our 11yo daughter, we went to see Panic! At The Disco live
• My daughters doing their best at school
• My best friend
• Having the choice of which path to follow
• Having access to great workouts
• Music and books

This week, my husband and I went away for a few days in California. Just the two of us (Mom was there to take care of the girls). We celebrated both is 40th birthday and being together for the past 15 years. I won’t lie: it was weird as it did not happen in the last 3 or 4 years, but it felt right at the same time.

This week, I am thankful for:
