March is here ! which means Spring is blooming, finally. Even if we did not experience Snowgadon here, I am really happy for longer days, more Sun, more life. Taking a deep breath in. It’s gonna be okay.

This week, I am thankful for:

• The time spent in my Teal Studio
• Phone call with Mom
• Taking the steps I need to get better
• My Soul Care rituals
• Magic
• Snail mail
• Cooking what is good for my body (yes to artisan gluten free bread !)
• My Kindreds
• Tears. Cleansing.
• Music
• The two bald eagles in the Cedar trees by our home
• Taking the steps to achieve that big dream
• New opportunities
• Self-Portraiture

See, for me it often is in the little things that will shift how I feel. What about you ?

Happy Friday !

This week is holding lots of teaching for my family and I. Trust. Love. Understanding. My husband and I have been discussing how we see our future, what would be best for us, and it can be scary but pretty exciting at the same time. Surrendering.

This week, I ama thankful for:

• Unexpected gifts
• Pep talks from my Kindreds
• Morning walks
• Dreaming about our future
• Snail Mail
• Time with my husband once the girls are in bed
• Bedtime story time
• Listening to what everyone needs to figure out how to work best together as a family
• Studio time
• Soul Care (hot bath with salt, book, music)
• Sara Bareilles and Florence + The Machine
• Being able to have lunch on the balcony
• New gemstones

Welcome on a new edition of my weekly ritual, Gratitude Friday (if you are not familiar with it, please go read how it came up and what it is about).

My cup feels full today. My girls don’t have school and I refuse that they spend their entire day in front of a screen (and trust me, we have many…) so we will go outside (as soon as Mae finally finish her bowl of cereals… which usually takes about 45mn…), we will create in the Studio and bake a magic chocolate cake. Everything soothes with chocolate. At least, this is my plan, but we know it rarely go according to plan, right ?

This week, I am thankful for:

• Unexpected acts of kindness
• Learning new techniques
• Sleep
• Playing Kirby
• Time with my Husband
• Talks with my Mom
• Magical Mail waiting for me to pick it up tomorrow
• Fresh veggies
• Self-portraiture
• Creativity
• Vlogging
• Gemstones that help
• Deepening my spritual path, finding my way
• Friends of my daughters coming over
• Melissa spending the day with me
• Books
• My morning walks

I want to focus on that. The little things that make it better when I spend the time to actually feel them in my bones. Once I feel them deeply, it shifts everything.

What are you thankful for ?

Oh this week… Tears, doubts and fears decided to crash my party. It happens. It freaks me out. But I know that I always make it through. Always.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Commiting to the Vlog Every Day In February (aka vedif) and vlogging everyday (minus one I did not publish).
• my morning walks.
• smudging the shit out of everything
• cooking, it does not have to be complicated or very elaborated, but using fresh whole ingredients to nourish our bodies makes me really thankful
• the «I love you»s
• my Kindred Sisters who stick with me and hold my hand. So does my Husband.
• tears, cleansing me
• music
• sunshine
• the long weekend we had
• the good news related to my Mom’s health
• the new music videos from Florence + the Machine (new album this year, yesss !) and from Taylor Swift (one of my fav. song from her latest album).

May this weekend be focused on Love. Not only the sentimental one but Love for what it is, this pure energy that could erase and swipe away any trace of negativity.

Yes… thank you wine. For making the world around a bit lighter, even temporarily. See, I am French, so wine is supposed to kind of run in my veins… but my DNA must have missed this memo because at now 29, I have been sometimes desperately trying to enjoy the taste of wine. The issue is I can’t take any thing bitter and this is why I enjoy only sweet wines like Moscato… but I try (and just so you know, I can’t stand beer or coffee either. yep). so when I do find a wine I like, it’s WIIIIIIIIIIIIIN 😀

This week, I am thankful:

• Webcam with Mom
• Blue skies
• My morning walks
• Time spent with my Kindreds
• Knowing my art (typo, I actually typed «heart») is going a bit everywhere in the world.
• Anticipating the classes brought to the world by my Kindreds Mindy and Micki, they both are amazing teacher with a style on their own that blows my mind every single time.
• Honey is coming home tonight after being away all week on business trip
• Music
• Studio time
• Self-portraiture as a healing too
• My tight support system
• Soul Care
• Filming my creative process to share on my Youtube Channel.

It might seem like being a lot because the list has several items, but they are simple things, and these are the things I remind myself that exist and happen to make it easier when everything seem so damn hard and the times when I just want to give up.

What are you thankful for this week ?
