This week, Jamie asks us what do you wish for your well-being ?

↝ I wish to keep working out, but on a more regular basis. My goal ? working out 20 minutes per day, five days per week, every week.
↝ I wish to quit Nutella… yup. This is a public break-up announcement: I won’t eat spoonful of Nutella anymore; even if I am frustrated, even if I am sad, even if I am bored. No more compulsive eating in my life !
↝ I wish to eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits everyday. It’s so much easier in Summertime… I wish to find a way to do it during the four seasons, not only in Spring and Summer.
↝ I wish to enjoy every second of my Life, even the harder ones.
↝ I realized that my own well-being is also powered by helping others in their own struggle, so I wish to have the possibility to help more and more people who wants to, and to be guided in my path.
↝ I wish to continue and finish the writing process of my book, I wish the Universe will help me through it as I don’t know how to make it concrete. I wish it will be published one day.
↝ I wish to help people thanks to Gratitude.
↝ I wish to create as much as I want, as it’s a real healing process for me. Get passed the fears I face regarding my art (I was writing “heart” instead of “art”…)
↝ Last but not least, I wish to be escorted by a Mentor. Creative, Spiritual. Someone who believes in me, someone I trust, someone who will guide me in my Truth but will know how to let me do it on my own. Dear Universe, please hear my Wish; I know you have plenty of positive things in your pockets for me, I trust you and even if I don’t know these things yet, I know it’s for my well-being: I have faith in you, please have faith in me.

This is quite a HUGE wish today, but I wish all this with my whole entire HEART.

And you, what do you wish for your own well-being ?

This week Wishcasting Wednesday seems lighter than usual but it’s important to have fun and enjoy the life, as simply as it is sometimes.

The first thing I thought of was that I wish to always have fun professionally, I wish to have fun in the learning process; even in the not-so-fun part of being self-employed: marketing, accountability and so on. But it’s part of the job and i want it to be a pleasure no matter what !

I wish to always live my creative business life in a funny  & pleasant, I don’t want it to be a chore.

And on a lighter tone, my Trollettes (daughters) will be in Summer Vacations tomorrow. Friday, it will be the first Graduation party of my older one (she’ll be 5 in august), she can’t wait to have the graduation uniform and most of all, to go to kindergarten (if I understand clearly the North American scolar system, that is SO different from the French one that we feel lost and overwhelm with the names and how it actually works). So I wish to have fun during these looooong vacations, that my girls are not so excited about as they love being at school very very much, despite the fact we are not going anywhere this summer.

Today’s blogpost is not long but sometimes it’s also good to let go and not wanting to do ‘too much’.

What about you, what fun do you wish to have ?

It seems like an eternity since my last participation to Jamie’s Wishcasting Wednesday… booohooo !

But this week prompt speaks to me, so I jump right into it !

I won’t be original but I deeply need and feel like it’s right now the time for me to nurture my Body, as in result it will also nurture my Soul. So I wish to nurture this body I chose before birth, to love it, to honour it.

Because as they say “your body is your temple“. I use to think “bla, it’s what people say because they don’t know how hard it is to be in a body that absolutely do not reflect who you are inside“.

It’s so painful that it nearly breaks me into tears as I write you this stuff because I live a kind of not-so-peaceful war with my body for at least 8 years now. And I’m not even 25 years old.
I try to find keys to unlock why I look like what I do but… it does not change anything in the long term. Food is a problem, but I am certain that not only because even when I eat healthy food, modify what is wrong, I don’t feel better for more than a few days.

BUT I know how lucky I am to have an husband that still loves me, no matter the changes my body knows (after two pregnancies, and a lot of yo-yo-ing in my weight), that still desires me (I don’t understand why) etc. And it makes me feel a little bit better.

So one step at a time, I wish to nurture my body, to feed it really well, to exercise it, to lose weight so I’ll fall in love with it all over again…

Hello Sweetie Peas !

It seems like an eternity passed since I last wishcast. Maybe it’s true, I just wasn’t “called” by some prompts so I didn’t want to push myself.

I am an eternal learner. I wish University and/or college would be less expensive so I could attend only to learn (not to have a specific diploma) everything I want.
This is partly why I love books that much: it teaches me.

But right now, as I am starting to sort of thoughts, ideas, and big dreams together to start my own Creative Business, I wish I could know how to help people to heal through connecting with their creativity.

I starting my commitment by enrolling for Kelly Rae Roberts” e-class Flying Lessons, that started last sunday. I’m a little bit behind reading it because the “format” is not really easy, but I know it’s what I need to jump on the train.

I have to set goals, small and big. For the moment, I don’t want to associate time with my goals, not to be deceived if I can’t reach them when the date arrived.

I wish I could know clearly what I am going to “offer” the World, what is this gift I was born with to help you.

I know I will soon figure it out more precisely but I must admit that I am frustrated.

Hello Swetty Pies !

How was your May day ? Did you celebrate Beltan today ? I confess that this year I didn’t, I think I’ll just make a spontaneous little prayer prior sleeping tonight.

You may know it if you read my blog regularly, I love Jamie Ridler, she’s one of these few people who truly always inspire me, I feel so blessed she’s in the World and share her vision and her truth.
For the 5th year, she hosts on May 1st her annual virtual dance party and invite us to join and take 15mn of our day to just dance.

Here is a part of her message:

Dance to greet your day.
Dance to greet your mailman.
Dance with the sun, the moon, the stars.
Dance with your honey, your self, your cat.
Dance on the subway, while waiting for the bus.
Dance while your tea is steeping.
Dance while your kids are sleeping.
Dance from the tips of your fingers to the soles of your feet.
Let your elbows dance. And your hips.
Dance in your own way.
Find your own groove.
There’s no way to get it wrong.
Just dance.

Inspiring, isn’t it ?

I take modern’jazz dance lessons during seven years; I would have love going further but I didn’t have the chance. Sometimes it makes me sad. Seven years later, I changed a lot, and especially my body (two kids later, I’m not one of the lucky women that have a body without any trace of pregnancy, if you see what I mean). I feel out of place while dancing, like an hipopotamus in a China chop.

But today, and because my girls and I love taking a few minutes here and there to enjoy dancing together, was different… I asked Cheridoo to film us while dancing in the garden, while it was still sunny outside, before the night comes.

I’m sorry the sound did not work out. But it’s okay because we didn’t put any music, we have only the notes flowing in our heads 🙂
