Hello Lovely People !

This week was simply wonderful…

❁ Today, I am thankful because I realized things that are a little rough on the moment but that will eventually lighten my life. Choices are made, and assumed. Thank you for the sorrow I thought I would feel, but that didn’t last.
❁ Thank you to Sophie, Paola, Alice, Cocotte & Nathalie. Just because they are in my life, and I am blessed for it.
❁ Thank you Anne-Julie for her kindness, patience and perseverance. I can’t wait to receive the handmade journal I bought her and that was sent back to her for unknown reasons (than you customs services).
❁ Thanks a lot to you whith who I talk with daily on Twitter, for supporting me and encouraging me to go further and deeper in my art and who I am.
❁ Thank you Jo Anna Rothman for putting up her Receiving Project. It’s changing my life in unexpected ways.
❁ Thank you to the Universe for answering my prayers and for all the messages it sent me this week. It’s like the channel is no longer blocked between us ! My dreams are more “obvious” and two or three persons were kind of “Oracle” for me.
❁ Thank you for the Moleskine I finally receive, for the Sketchbook Project I joined; I created the cover today and i quite like it (pondering if I should or not add more stuff). Video should be shared this week-end or monday.
❁ Thank you Makiko (creator and writer of Just Bento & Just Hungry blogs) because i found out the answer to her riddle and apparently she’ll send me a little something. It was really fun ! The next day, I won an ARC of a book I wanted to buy when released: awesome ! So it’s not a myth: believe you are a winner, so a winner you are !
❁ Thank you for my creativity that seems to be on top and for ideas that are flowing in my brain. So many messages to put on canvas 🙂
❁ Thanks a lot to my Husband, who is helping me getting organized thanks to a big white board he hang in front of my computer, with post-its to move etc. So I have a better vision of the projects and what is needed to be done.

This week was kind of weird for me. I was on a high not most of the time, with some moments when I felt a kind of discouragement from nowhere… but as I sit there to review my week, I tend to forget what made me sad because I focus on all the goodness I lived !
I am part of Jo Anna Rothman‘s “Receiving Project” and I’ll tell you: this is awesome. She is wonderful. It’s free so take a look here, you won’t believe it until you experience it yourself !

• I am thankful for myself because I started and finished my first Zentangle, as I said it taught me perseverance and patience, two qualities I thought I was lacking.
• I am grateful for all the ideas jumping in my head.
• Thank you for the support I receive everyday.
• Thank you for all this Love around me.
• Thank you for the music that is my inspiration and is with me all day long.
• Thank you in advance to the Universe for guiding me on my Path.
• Thank you in advance for the ‘independent money” (copyright Connie ;)) I’ll make with my Art and my Ideas.
• Thank YOU for reading me and sometimes taking time to let me a comment (and don’t worry, it’s okay if you are a quiet reader).

Thank you !

What a week !

Kind of weird I’d say, but full of all ranges of emotions. It makes me grow and I am more than thankful for this..

I can’t help but be amazed by what the Univers puts on my way, even if I don’t always understand it. I stopped over-thinking what happens, why sometimes the tears just go off my eyes as if my head is just too full of water and needs to let go (but now that I am writing it, I guess it’s because my head is too full of emotions, it needs to let go and tears are a good way of getting rid of it. I suppose): I take everything and everyone as it comes in my life, I bless it.

➱ Thank you for opening my eyes on something my Heart was longing to feel as my Mind didn’t want to listen: I needed to feel like I belong. Like I am not lonely anymore.
➱ Thank you for all the opportunities I notice, the windows that begin to open up in front of me.
➱ Thank you for all the beautiful souls gathered around Connie for her workshops, for what they bring to me, for what I offer to them back, for what I learn, for what these people give without counting. I know now what BOLD truly means.
➱ Thank you for all the Art Journalers from all over the world I talk to, on Twitter as well as on Facebook. It’s like a big giant family I belong to, even if people don’t know me yet. I am peeling my layers step by step by becoming fearless.
➱ Thank you for all the support I receive, and the cheering as well. I would never EVER have thought I’ll receive such a positive reception regarding my video. I am blown away and my heart is overflowing with Gratitude.

I rarely feel the power of Gratitude as intensely as I am feeling it now… I know that a lot of people are sceptics, think “it’s just another New-Age thing” or “it’s just positive thinking and nothing else”. Maybe. Maybe not. Whatever it is, I see everyday what positive it brings in my life and in others’ and for me, it’s just not an illusion. I absolutely don’t want to force anybody to have the same opinion as me though. I am digging deeper around Gratitude and how to explore it, enjoy it, soak in it.
If with this ritual I helped one single person to shift how (s)he see his/her life, I’d have done what I desired to do.

I can’t believe it’s already a new week-end. Summer flies by, this year !

But here in Vancouver, we impatiently waited for summertime to kick. It finally arrived !

So this week, I am thankful for the heat I can finally feel on my skin, and allows me to wear lighter clothes.

Thank you very very much for the wonderful evening we had at the pool, and then at the japanese All You Can Eat we used to eat often last year.

Thank you because we love barbecueing, whereas it’s for lunch or for dinner.

I love seing people shine because it’s sunny and warm outside (and even if I live not that far from Forks, I know they are not vampires… kidding ! ;))

Yesterday was a special day as it was the National holiday: Canada Day.

Everybody gets dressed in red and white, with temporary maple flag tattoos all over the body, just to show how proud they are to be there. And what I like the most is that nobody cares if you are born somewhere in Canada or if you made the choice to live there from anywhere in the world (and so you become an immigrant here), you just belong here.

So this week, I feel very thankful for being here and now, after about ten years thinking and planning it (yes, I was really young when I first was attracted by Canada).

Thank you for this perfect cohabitation between Nature and Modernism, as if for once, Human Beings let Nature be and made life around. We are surrounded by Nature all around, close to the Pacific Ocean, the mountains are seen as far as the eyes can see, the beach can be just a few steps away… It just takes my breath away every single day since we are here.

Thank you for all the warm people we meet, that engage talking with my girls or me, ask about us and are not shy aout sharing their own experience.

Thank you Universe for realizing my old dream, with my family.
