Create your own agenda

I do love my agenda though is not a small one i take it everywhere with me! Why don't you create your own? Add the photos of your beloved ones along with specials postcards, plenty of vintage papers, where you can  write never ending list of your goals, projects, secret desires. 

My agenda pretty much defines me, it's handmade original and unique. In this world of globalization it is good in my point of view to resist and follow our own path.

What are your passions? (quote minimum 10)

What makes you unique?

What do you bring to the world? 

Are you happy with your life?
Do you like yourself?
I know i have been questioning a lot lately, must ask my astrologers pals what is this all about! But i like it to challenge myself and specially to have goals.


What is there for you?
Do you live life to the fullest?
My secret desire would be to sleep 3 to 4h taking a magic pill that would give me a lot of energy to carry on with day to day life without being tired!

Yet with the years passing by i realize that i have already a lot of energy and that my creativity is blossoming.
   Do you take care of yourself?
 Some friends will say it's easy for you because you are childless....blabla blabla. I used to have my own excuses, the jet lag, being away for  more than 15 days in the month. I have learned to define my goals. My husband 9 years ago didn't even know where was the supermarket and cooked basically two sunny side up eggs! Now, he's the one filling up the fridge and mostly the cooking. It wasn't easy "to trust" him at first, i mean i know every corner of my favorite supermarket and don't come home missing the eggs or the bread! Then i am maniac had to let go on how everything was arrange into the fridge! Major issues...but i stick to it as my therapist tell me to and can say that i like the results.
Yesterday, i was with a longtime friend, mother of three children, who was telling me how she was worried seeing so many of her friends more and more depressed.
What is it with this world nowadays that effectively more and more people lost track of their lives? France is in europe where people take more prozac. Why? What can be done? The information as never been so widely covered and yet people are falling into depression. 
What is missing in their lives that provoke such pain?

Le grand Bleu

How odd!  I just received an email from my first love back when i was seventeen... It didn't last long but for me it lasted a lifetime. I relish that year as one of total happiness, my grand-mother moved on with us as she wanted "to divorce" after fifty years of marriage as my grand father didn't make the celebrations of half a century they spent together. We didn't take it seriously but loved having Mamie around everyday she cooked us different and delicious meals, sewing in the afternoon, her hands never at rest. 
My first love looked like Mickey Rourke, one of the handsome guys in school and he asked me to date him!  I was feeling whole, my dreams had came true. I remember him as one does with first love with romantic eyes, we never argue, we had fun, we danced... we spent endless hours talking. He had this "mobylette" that i thought was sooooo cool riding behing him feeling his male scent how unerving that was and exciting! We were free spirited but still so shy. He was very protective over me, felt for the first time beautiful and bright.
I remember how my grand-mother loved the idea, how i could count on her. I used to smoke at the time he didn't...clever guy! 
It was 24 years ago...but a simple email brought it back as it was yesterday. I loved those months one of the happiest in my life.

What a pleasant and unexpected surprise. It all come out through the blog. As i look back now i realize that all my past is in my present and certainly in my future. I keep on with friends from childhood who know me for ages, who know me by heart from friends that i have met up recently where souls recognizes themselves out from criativity. Love this continuity,  this balance, this knowing where i come from but this freedom to be who i want to be and hopefully there's a lot ahead of me. I have learned my lessons over the years, don't take anything for granted.
How odd that my first love and my forever love over the centuries  share the same passion for a film a a music " le grand bleu"Eric Besson  when they aren't the same age nor from the same nationality.
God's way i dare to write....
Have a good week

I love my life
I accept the up and downs
I engulfed into them
I love my albums
I love my spoons
I love notebooks
I love my necklaces
I love my art world
I love being alive
I love my nests
I love the circle of friendship around me
I love to give
I accept to receive
I am happy
I am blessed to be in good health
I love being who i am.....

I feel enpowered
I am a woman in love
and now i can say

I LOVE MYSELF each day further and deeper
