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.

It’s Friday !

I am taking some time this morning while Mom is getting ready for our day. The girls are back to school today (we made them miss yesterday), Cheridoo is at work, so it’s our first day just the two of us. Lots of plans 😉

I hope you’re having a good week, and counting your blessings. I know I insist, but it is important to me to also see the little moments, they are as essential as the bigger and more obvious ones. I hope you’ll take some time today to make your list, even just a simple mental list.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Mom is here from France, leaving in July.
• We planned our meals for until the end of next week.
• Grenouille, who told me what she wishes for me. She touched me deeply with her honesty.
• The professional opportunities. Explorations.
• Music.
• The Polaroid Supercolor 635 that my Mom brought with her. It belonged to my Grandpa and it’s still working, but I need to find some films now.
• The painting I created this week for Christy Tomlinson’s class «Behind The Art», out of my comfort zone but I totally love what came out.
• Friends.
• Dreaming with friends. Opening doors of new possibilities.
• Trust

I’m wishing you a wonderful week-end.

Happy Friday !

What a roller coaster of a week this has been…

This is what this weekly ritual really is for me: a time to ponder the negative in order to let it be outshined by the positive. Knowing that yes, it is there, but that it does not have to be what matters the most or what takes the largest place in my mind and in my heart.

I feel truly blessed. Like this inner knowing that everything is there for a reason.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Great heartfelt talks.
• Mom arrives in 5 days.
• We did arrange the guest room for her, even if the walls do need some color paint (they’re white).
• I received a fantastic and totally unexpected gift that made me cry of Gratitude
• FaceTime dates.
• It’s the week-end.
• I’m still losing weight, bit by bit.
• Listening to the crazy talks. That leads me to more acceptance.
• The book «The Night Circus» by Erin Morgensten. Listening to the audiobook on my iPad while painting.
• Zopiclone pills.
• Good health insurance coverage.
• Living close enough from the US border so it’s easy to cross it to receive parcels.
• Pep talks, encouragement. Knowing that they were exactly the answer to my prayers.
• Never giving up.

What is on your Gratitude List this week ?

Happy Friday (well… it’s Sunday now, because I forgot to schedule it to post without me having to think about it. And our Saturday was filled with 0 computer time. Oops) !

I won’t lie: I am pretty happy that it is finally the week-end. My husband has his Friday off from work, which means we’re spending these three days together and this is something really priceless to me.

I’ve been in an introspection mode lately, trying to figure out where I wanna go in my creative career (it is was to the point where I was wondering if I really was an artist or not. yup. that kind of hole…). Trying to define my Faith (and my conclusion is: I don’t belong to any box, and I accept that now. I appreciate having a bendable Faith).

There is a lot to be thankful for, but I will go to what comes in my mind as I’m writing this here. This week, I am thankful for:

• My daughters playing outside. With or without our neighbors’ kids.
• Spring break coming to an end (as much as I love them, we are all happy school is starting again soon).
• Facetime on my iPad mini.
• Having finally started our Family Painting.
• Having my Mom on the phone.
• Cooking as a family. Thank you for the best kitchen we’ve ever had to date.
• Sunshine.
• Netflix.
• Decluttering. Organizing.
• j-10 before my Mom arrives from France.
• Honesty. Trust. Confidence.
• Deepening my knowledge.
• Healing the Past to assure a better Future and a fantastic Present.

I wish to all of you who are celebrating a happy Holiday time.

Hola !

It’s Friday my friends. Spring break, for two weeks, with two young kids avid of things to do. «Why can’t we watch tv Mom ?», yes I am trying to limit their screen time because between tv, the computer, the games console, the tablet…. they would spend all their days on that. And… I had the joy to discover plenty of lice eggs in their hair at the beginning of the week, and mine because lice love my afro hair you know. Which forces me to limit their time with our neighbors as I don’t want them to be infested as well. That sucks ! If you have any tips to kill them all for good, I take it (I spend 3hrs/day getting rid of the eggs, hair by hair).

We celebrated Koala being now 6. Nothing big but she loved her day, which is what matters to us.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Learning from past experience.
• The feeling of accomplishment that goes with this week painting.
• Packing orders.
• Facetime.
• My mom arriving in about 3 weeks from now.
• The Sun between the rain.
• Walking with the girls to the nearest park, which is about 1km from home (± 0.62 miles). Letting them play and run outside. Did it despite in pain.
• Artists that share their gifts.
• Nice words of encouragement regarding my art.
• Good food.
• Taking it easy.
• Make up
• Abundance
