Hello !

It’s now 10h37, I’ve already written my Gratitude Friday blogpost for the french-speaking version of Inner Voices, I don’t know why it is so hard to translate it (not technically difficult, but… I am doing other stuff, pushing doing this aside). Sometimes, I am just weird I guess. Too many things going on in my head maybe.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Our visit at the aquarium On December 31st, despite the encounter with an hungry squirrel, it was very nice.
• We had a very nice New Year’s Eve. Simple, but perfect «The best New Year’s Eve of my life» depending on the girls.
• I had the very good surprise of this blogpost this blogpost and gift from Joyce, the winner of «Name My Girls» contest and spiritual mom of my Nixies.
• My tv shows are airing again. Yaaaay (not all, but it will be, soon).
• I am back to painting. One step at a time. Pushing away resistance and fear.
• The girls are back to school.
• Chéridoo was in vacations. It feels so good when he is home.
• 21 Secrets is now open for registration.
• The comment from my friend Aurore in a previous blogpost.
• The come back of a lost friend in my life.
• The discussion with my brother (honestly this still feels weird. But OMG I have brothers and a sister !!!! They are now real and know I am here, I exist).
• The Angel Attunement I received from Marsha Bennie. She is amazing, this is a wonderful experience. I am still buzzing from it. (if you want an Angel Reading with Marsha, contact me so I give you her contact info. She is amaziiiiing).
• I am finally reading The Hunger Games. Ooooh so good.

I know, I know… yet another post on the blogosphere about the end of the year. But I’ve been thinking a lot about this year already coming to an end, what I experienced (good and bad), about what I learned during the past twelve months.

It seems like yesterday I was making my plans for 2011. Did I meet all my goals (and there were not plenty of them!) ? No. I’m okay with it though. Because I learned A LOT this year.

Thanks to Goddess Leonie 2012 workbook and planner, I realize that I have made some big accomplishments (in my opinion):

I opened my Etsy shop, Inner Worlds, pushed firmly but kindly by my Fearless painting guru and friend Connie. It was a huge step for me. Showing the world i was actually there, asking for money in exchange of my art (i do still struggle with this sometimes, to be honest). And i made over 20 sales (may not seem like a good number for you, but I was sure not to sell a thing when I started!).

In february, I followed my gut and the idea of a personal project I simply called “365-selfportraits challenge“, i started it in march. And it taught me to see me differently, to gain perspective on how I perceive myself. Even if i did not fulfill it, I so love self-portraiture that i may start it over in 2012. I want to do it for my girls and will ask them if they are interested.
I may do a more general 365-picture a year in 2012, I don’t know yet…

I learned that there is growth in very bad health news. That despite what people think, positive thinking and Reiki do help. Even with cancer.
I am now a Practical Reiki Master and I am fully engaged in my healing learning process, helping anyone who kindly ask.

2011 taught me to trust deeply, without a doubt, that everything is okay and will get better and better.

I learned to give my friendship, sometimes to give it back. Despite how hurt I could have been. To give second chances. But there won’t be third chances though.

I learned that miracles DO exist. Now, the missing pieces in my family tree are coming together. It feels good not to be a secret ghost anymore.

I followed my guts, asked the Universe, and received. This is how I went to Seattle, twice, to attend workshops in Teesha Moore’s Artfest Annex. The first was from Teesha herself, this is how I finally met two online friends: Violette and Kym. Both were true life-changing experiences. I bloomed as an artist.

This painting was done during Flora Bowley’s workshop and means a lot to me. I look at wondering how on Earth I could have painted it. Me. It is now hung on our wall, so I see it everytime I open the door.

Lots of my personal symbols. My heart is in there. Even with any Nixie lol

I just love the imperfections that fill it, me the perfectionist Virgo…

I am kinda back to writing, my first love. This book is still nesting in me, words wanting to go out but struggling because I keep them safely inside. I know I should not. And may 2012 be the year when they finally go out. For now, I am just sharing the stories my Nixies are whispering to me while I am giving birth to them.

2011 was tough. But eye and heart opening. And this is with a big THANK YOU that I let this year go to welcome 2012 in a few hours now.

I wish you all a wonderful new year.

Hello !

Christmas will be there in a week. My girls are both in vacation today. Baking cookies is planned, and we bought our first gingerbread house kit to create together.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Mom is here to celebrate with us. The last two years it was just the four of us.
• I will be able to rest, not to stress over what to cook for Grenouille’s lunches at school, neither to hurry in the morning to get her ready for the schoolbus.
• Goddess Leonie’s 2012 workbook + planner I printed and put in a binder, to review for you. It looks amazing and I feel like it could change positively a lot of things for the year to come.
• My husband and I celebrated our 8th dating anniversary. We went to see Hugo and have dinner together. It feels good to be just the two of us sometimes. It feels good to have mom around.
• I am in a creative groove. I love the Nixies that are emerging. I paint again just for the joy of it.
• I am creating my first Brown Nixie and you have no idea how happy it makes me. For a lot of reasons.
• The pain is not that bad this week. And I sleep again almost normally.
• My Nixies cards are flying all over the world to their new homes. And twice it was moms who ordered them for their daughters. Makes my heart sing.
• The questioning about what I do. About my life purpose. And the answers at those questions.
• My family saying “you smell good” even if I don’t have any perfume on, it happened a lot this week, strangely.
• The excitement of my girs regarding Christmas. I love them both so much.
• I art journaled again and oh my goddess it feels good.
• I sent my December edition of Inner Whispers. Not all the subscribers have read it apparently, but it’s ok. I created an archive page (see the horizontal sidebar, titled Inner Whispers), you can read the previous editions (and the current one).
• I am listing lots of new art prints in the shop. And I have a 15% off prints ! So it’s time to get your dose of Nixies before Christmas. Enter PRINTS15 at checkout.

Hello !

So, how was your week ? Not too stuffed from the rests of Thanksgiving ? ;0)

I am still in a fibro flare so… I apologize for making it a quickie one. Again.

This week, I am thankful for:

• Experiencing new techniques in my artwork, playing around, being fearless about the outcome, and loving the Nixie that is being born.
• Having my mom around while this flare up seems to be neverending. I don’t know yet how I will do without her when she’ll go back to France.
• Music.
• Friends.
• My sister, we are getting to know each other slowly.
• Having food in my plate several times a day.
• Love I give. Love I receive.
• A dear angel bought a Nixie Subscription, I know you will be reading it: thank you dearly.
• The new ritual I started yesterday with my friend Anu, Paving our Path.
• My Nixies cards are going all over the World. It makes me so happy.
• I am excited to announce my 21 Secrets’ class title and description next Monday !
• It’s almost my Husband’s birthday and I love celebrating him.
• Crying while writing my Nixies stories is a good sign, a sign that I am on the right track with it. This is what happened with Annya (and Misty, I will present her soon).

Sending you all warm love.

Hello,

My dear friend Anu invited me to join her in this new spiritual practice she wants to start.
We are paving our path with positive requests we gently make to the Universe about things we would like to happen during the month to come.

Of course, you are welcome to join us. You can address it to God, the Universe, an entity of your choice, your Higher Self… you chose what feel more comfortable.

The month of December is important to me…

Dear Universe,

For this last month of 2011, I would like my husband to feel loved on his birthday.
I would also like to find my Word for 2012, because it wold make me happy to have an intention to rely on when I feel lost (and You know it will happen…).
It would be amazing to see again the joy in the eyes of my girls on Christmas, and to me joy a delicious meal made with Mom. It’s the first Christmas we will celebrate together since we arrived in Canada, so this is special to us.
Please, put my Nixies in the hands of new owners where they will be loved and needed.
I would deeply appreciate new opportunities to knock on my door. I am open to new experiences.
Please, keep my fibro away a bit so I can enjoy the end of year celebrations…

I trust you to bring in my life what I need, even what I am not aware of yet.

Thank You,
Your beloved Nolwenn.
