Hello Hello !

How are you today ?

“How do you wish to bloom ?” asks Jamie this week.

The first thing that came in my mind was “Proudly“. I wish to bloom proudly.
Because I tend to be ashamed of what I desire, fearing of asking too much, too big, of not deserving good things to happen to me.

I don’t know yet why I feel this way, maybe it’s just a matter of Trust (yes, again) but I believe it’s deeper than this. I have to explore it, to dig deep and so I’ll be able to pull it off of the mud that my Soul can sometimes be.

I want to become this tree trunck that won’t bend because of a light breeze but will stay strong no matter what, like bamboo: flexible but strong.

I have to work on Pride, the positive side of this feeling, the one assimilated with Dignity.

And you, how do you wish to bloom ?

Hello !

I hope the Easter Bunnies did not forget you but that you did not eat everything yet 😉

A quick message to let you know that I created a FormSpring account in order to give you the possibility to ask me anything you want. Don’t be shy.
You can sign up, ask anonymously or just write me your name so I know it’s you. It’s up to you !

Here is it: http://www.formspring.me/NolwennP

I’ll answer with a real pleasure.

Take care, and I’ll be back soon 😉

Trust is a feeling we heard a lot about, but what is it, finally ?

I think there as much definitions as there are people on Earth. For some, there’s no question: trust is; for others it’s synonymous of war and lack.

Being trustful, is (in my opinion) knowing that nothing can hold you down.
Trust yourself, your abilities; trust in the others, we are all One; trust in the Universe because it only brings in our life what we can handle (despite the false impression we can have).

Sometimes, we feel out of place, we’re looking for ourself in the eyes of the others, we make suppositions and that’s where Trust is important: no matter what they think of you, YOU know who you are and what you are capable of more than anybody else.
Yes, it’s good to have an extern look, but wonder if it really suits your gut feeling.

We confuse Trust and Arrogance, but it’s one thing to know your worth, it’s another to think yours is better than you neighbour’s and to always want to be the best (and so, doing things not really good). We are all different, my strenght may be your low point and vice versa. I can have doubts about something obvious to you. As for everything, we need to find the Middle Way, and I can affirm that’s it is not that easy, sometimes you just feel that you are an acrobat walking on a thin string suspended in the air.

Repeat after me: I TRUST THE PROCESS OF LIFE. And feel it through your whole body and spirit.

Mixed-Media artwork I intuitively created, just trusting the process, letting things get out of me. I had something completely different when I started !
Acrylic paint, waterclour inks, papers collage, “serviettage”, embossing powder…….

I don’t have any magazines stuff anymore !!! I seriously need to go on a magazine hunt soon…

So I thought that it would be a good idea for me to use Mosaic Maker again this month.
I used common sense pictures found on FlickR, three pictures of my artwork and an inspirationnal painting by Gus Fink.

What did I see when I look I my WishBoard ?

• I need to get back closer to my SoulMate, to take a better care of our couple.
• I’ve been working a lot about trust these past weeks or so (watch for tomorrow’s blogpost); it’s a long process for me but I know it’s for good and I can already feel some benefits.
• I will be starting a 3-day cleanse during Easter week-end (some may think I’m crazy lol) . My body is yelling at me to take care if it in a better way, and for me a cleanse is really needed. I found a book that makes sense to me, “the 3-day cleanse”. I’ll talk to you about this later, after the first time (yes, i’m kind of anxious). I want to still eat, not calculate every bite, enjoy it and feel good in my body. I want to keep it FUN.
• I need to run-away and as I can’t concretely do it at the moment, books are my relief valve. Books are my major mean for learning new things and so improve my self.
• I need to play, to have fun. But I don’t want to deny who I am and what I like, even if people could think it’s strange, or weird or sinister or whatever. I accept my preferences. Point.

And what about you, did you celebrate this month Full Moon ?

Heya !

For this week Wishcasting Wednesday, Jamie invites us to introspect about what we wish to take a break from. For me, it was quite simple: I wish to take a break from being so doubtful, and just live my life in the Now as it happens.

I am a woman who thinks a lot (very very very), and I realize that eventually it does not always serves me in a positive way, so I press the “pause” button: no matter what tomorrow brings, it will be beautiful as it is.

It’s really difficult for me to let got and just trust; to “go with the flow”, it is the expression that came in my mind.
By the way, it’s strange because I am absolutely not a control freak, but I have a hard time to take things as they come, I always have to weight the pros & the cons, to wonder if the end will be positive or not, if I should do this or that… it’s never ending, I always find another way to doubt and ask questions to myself. It’s really tiring, indeed.

I am hardly working on becoming more confident, more trustful (and I started writing about it for next week, so stay tuned ;)).
