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).

And a new year, a new cycle has now begun as Samhain has passed last week. This week was a bit weird, I guess the rising energy from the Full Moon might have a role to play in that. But it is okay, I am almost getting used to it by now (not even telling you about the New Moon… or my own Red Moons… hmm).

This week, I am thankful for:

• My husband. Him. Always.
• My Kindred. You know who you are.
• Good painting sessions, even when short.
• The discovery of Above & Beyond via a documentary on Netflix my husband had me watch.
• The Full Moon and her energy
• I got new ink (sorry Mama)
• Hangout video chat with Mom
• Healing
• Finding solutions to help our kiddo in need of understanding and support
• Stories

What was your week like, in term of good seeds ? what put a smile on your face ? tell me <3

Happy Samhain to all who celebrate today. This day is one of my favorite of the year (after my birthday ! mwahahah).

Our girls have their first sleepover tonight, they have been talking about it since last year (!!!), I know they are greatly excited but nervous not sleeping at home in the same time. We will see how it goes. In the mean time, it leaves my Love and I as a couple, not in our parents role. It does not happen often in our part of the wods… Can I hear a «hell yea» ? 😉

This week. I am thankful for:

• My friends, my Sisters
• The time spent in the Studio, filled with deep Trust in my process
• My husband
• Dreams, Intentions, never too big
• Grimm
• Being back at my daily walking ritual, hope it will stop raining
• Date night tonight
• Letting go of the old me a little more tonight
• Letting go of what does not serve me anymore
• New beginnings
• Understanding teachers
• Getting tattooed tomorrow
• Sleeping in our own bed
• Music (you+me and Sara Bareilles are still on repeat)

In this time of renewal, of planting seeds before we go to rest for a few months, what are you wishing for yourself ? what are you thankful for ?

I am writing from an hotel room in Portland, Oregon. We went here last year just after Christmas and fell in love with the city. As I told you earlier, we were in a strong need of a breather and decided to go away for a week.

We have a list of what we would like to do but no real plan, to be honest. And it’s okay.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Hitting the road and all the good things that come with it
• Taking more pictures and this deep desire to learn more about photography
• My husband
• Love
• Rest, kind of anyway
• Water
• Witnessing my daughters’ worlds and personalities
• Abundance
• the astrological birth chart book I ordered to KV (the Aquarius Nation)
• my Sabbatical Sisters

How was your week, tell me <3

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).

*inhaling deeply* Some days, I wonder why is Life made of so many highs and lows, I know that without the ebbs we would not even be aware of the highs but still… I have this piece of lyrics stuck in my head, it says «So if the world is round now, why can’t we have everything? ‘Cause the highs are so high, these lows are killing me.» Knowing there will be higher days helps, sometimes. Not always.

Days are getting shorter and shorter, I love and hate Fall season. I’m a Summer girl I guess. So taking it slowly, getting rid of stuff and of emotional baggage.

How do you deal with the change of season, any coping mechanism ?

This week, I am thankful for:

• Rose Ave. the freshly released album from duo You+Me (Alecia Moore aka P!nk & Dallas Green aka City and Colour)
• tv show Grimm (still catching up)
• Tiger balm on my back
• Sisterhood that makes me feel like I belong
• The perspective of soon going to our family vacation in Oregon
• Sia, Sara Bareilles, You+Me, Of Monsters & Men
• Ways we have to communicate with those far away
• Wonderful art classes: SoulBird by Mindy Lacefield, Painted Paper Doll by Danielle Daniel.
• Magical mail received throughout the week. What a blessing. I will pay it forward and share the love
• My husband love, support and desire to make everything work, together.

It’s Friday *dancing around* ! I hope your week was sweet like honey, spicy like cinnamon and tangy like fresh lemon.

Rough at heart, rough in my heart , it put me deep in the Dark. But let not focus on that but on the positive side of it. Because there is always a light shining somewhere within all of it. always.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Community Grace
• Magical Sabbatical
• Sisterhood
• Grimm, Parenthood, Brothers & Sisters, Gilmore Girls, Finding Carter
• The people signing up for Soul Deck.
• Songs
• My sketchbook, allowing me to let it out and process
• Tears
• New doors to open
• Soul work
• My diary
• Morning walks

I am praying that it will get easier and smoother. Sooner than later. And if life is hard on your, if you feel more emotional than usual, know you are not alone. You.Are.Not.Alone. Please reach out. Don’t be afraid to say «I need help». Especially in this season.
