On this October 31st, Halloween is celebrated all around the world; but a lot of Pagans celebrate Samhain.

It is time for harvesting what you built during this year, to bury all the negative things that happened and to start over.

Samhain is my favourite time of the year ever ! I am really excited and this year, I feel its energy for weeks before.

My whole family is excited too because it’s the first time our Trollettes will really celebrate Halloween (and Samhain too), we’ll get dressed, will treat or trick, we will cook (some yummy magical meal) and prepare the night.

It said that Samhain is the night were the veil between our World and the World of Dead is the thinner, that is why we scare bad spirits with carved pumpkins and why we lighten outside to guide those who passed away.
It is also a perfect night for divination 😉

This year, it boosted my creativity and Deirdre (that you can see here) decided to come 🙂 (Yes, her name was inspired by the witches saga written by Anne Rice, which I am currently re-reading. I LOVE it, really ! And because I read it long ago, it’s like it is the first time !).
This artwork is not perfect, but I like it the way it is, i don’t create perfect things, by the way.

If you like rituals, here is one I do every year:
I write down the bad events that happened during the year that is ending, and the bad feelings I felt the most on pieces of paper. I fold them and burn them (don’t forget to put them in a fireproof container). While it is burning, visualize all this going away with the smoke and simply disappear. Aand you’ll notice later on that all the negativity linked to what you wrote is gone 🙂 Magic !
If you fear fire, which I can totally understand, you can use something else that is symbolic for you: burry it near a tree, simply flush it in the toilets… be creative and do what you feel inspired to do.

A little bonus for all Tim Burton’s fans:

Welcome everyone to this first Gratitude Friday !

I am so glad you’ll join me to express your Gratitude regarding what you lived this week.

Don’t be affraid, and don’t compare to what each other will say: we are all different and that is what make our World beautiful.

Feel free to blog about it; if you do so, don’t forget to come back to my post to share the link to yours. By doing that, it will be so much easier to jump from one blog to another and support you
By the way, let a comment here so I’ll know you participate.

This week, I am thankful for:

➮ Having shared the wonderful Alchemy of Manifestation workshop with beautiful people, especially my friend Elodie, who told me about it. Can’t wait to attend the second level in next spring. So much to experience before that, though.
➮ The unconditional love my Mamounette (my mum) gives me, no matter what choice I make.
➮ The fun I have with my daughters, dancing crazily on old songs they don’t know about, but that my Husband and I loved when we were both younger (and didn’t know each other yet).
➮ The cold dry weather in Vancouver and the beautiful colours I see outside everyday. I can’t help myself but looking up and watch these puffy clouds in the sky, and the contrast between the bright orange of the fall trees and the blue of the sky.
➮ Despite the geographic distance, I feel the friendship of amazing women (they’ll recognize who they are). I feel it in my heart and it makes life better.
➮ I’m grateful for having the possibility to stay at home, to take care of my daughters everyday, and to create when I want to. I’m grateful to have the chance to make what I want my life to be.

The weeks flow by sooooo quickly !

It is Wednesday, and today thanks to Jamie we focus on the big or small treat we wish for, more or less secretly.

Today, I’ll wish BIG, very very big…

We are here in Vancouver for amost a year now, without having the possibility, my lovely husband and I, to have time only for our couple. It is something I miss, really. We don’t currently have extra money for a trip, so I really wish this will manifest.

So…. I wish for two days or a little bit more, alone with him. We plan to go to Maui next year, when my mum we’ll visit us for the first time (she will stay five weeks), to celebrate my 25th birthday and our 5th wedding anniversary at the same time…

I wish for a wonderful couple retreat with my Husband, the thing that will fill our heart with Love, and Bliss and all positive feeling we can carry together, to love our daughters more and more when we’ll be back.

It can be in Maui, or somewhere else. No matter where, i just want to see something new with him, so I am opened to what the Universe as in store for us 😉

Don’t think I’m here only for Wishcasting Wednesdays… I have a lot to share but don’t find the time to do so. But I want to ! The latest blog post of Kelly Rae Roberts made me want to expose you my life during this last month (from late september to now), in a list format (because you know it, I am a huge list maker).

I can feel my life slightly shifting, sometimes it makes me think that I turn crazy but I deeply know that I’m not 😉

So here is some tid bits of my life:

✬ I celebrated my first birthday as an immigrant, without my mum. It was really painful but I enjoy my day with my husband and our Trollettes. I wish I could have friends to gather but everything at a time. Next year will be a big year, as I’ll celebrate my “century quarter” !

✬ I had a reading with the French medium Alice Kara, a few days after a friend of mine told me about her. I always wonder a lot the pros and cons, but in this case I took my birthday as the right moment to make the point and ask for what will happen etc. It was a life changing experience, and since then my life began to change, little by little. Because Acceptance is the key, because Confidence is the dear companion of Acceptance, and that once they came into your life, it changes everything !

✬ I attend a workshop about the Law of Attraction, but deeper than just manifest what you want in your life, materially. It makes me see my life in another point of view. Little Woo is such a wonderful woman, I thank my friend Elodie who told me about her and her workshops (and who attends this one with me).

✬ I am grateful for all my friends, even if sometimes sadness takes control because they’re far far away from me and that the internet seems so cold to me. But I’m grateful for the girlfriends I have here in Vancouver and I appreciate the relationships that are slowly being built. Because having someone to talk, outside the family cocoon, is always nice.

✬ I dig deep into Fall season… I accept the fact that I now live in a rainy city and decided to enjoy it by the way. I love watching the trees changing their color, the big puffy clouds in the sky… the sound of the rain when I am INSIDE and know I don’t have to go out (just three days a week I can afford to stay at home all day long, and it’s good, indeed !).

✬ I am planning Samhain, that is now just around the corner. I’ll celebrate the loved ones that passed away, the Hope of a new year that will begin, I’ll burry this year that was OUR changing year. I love Samhain.

✬ I’m rediscovering the joy of being in love. Not that I forgot it, but after nearly six years, and two kids later, it’s not exactly the same as the beginning. But I want us to be the same, and it feels so GOOD !

✬ I received several packages/letters from my friends and my family, and it made my heart shine. Thank you lovelies.

✬ I feel very inspired by some songs… Sarah Bareilles, Vanessa Carlton. I appreciate once again Evanescence, and I am so pleased to love their songs for different reasons that what made me love them six years ago. It helps me to realize all the way I went through, positively.

Hoorayyyy it’s Wednesday again.

SAY “YES”, it’s the subject of this week Wishcasting Wednesday.

It’s a new phase for me, a new Life i should say… It’s almost Samhain and I can already feel its energy of change around me.

I am starting to open my eyes wider and wider, and my Heart too. And it is new, it is exciting, as I wished to let go of Doubt and his everlasting friend Fear, it’s a new World that appears to me.

I wish to say “yes” to Opportunities to knock on my door.

I am ready to meet people, to learn and to grow. So yes, you can come into my life now, I’ll open you the door.
