Retour sur le Fringe Bazaar
Photo de moi, après avoir testé les friandises de Dominique.
La fin de semaine au fringe bazaar a tout de même été agréable. Malgré le manque d’achalandage, moi et Chris avons adoré cette première expérience qui nous a permis de rencontrer pleins de gens talentueux (mention spéciale à Musky-designer.com), et aussi de faire voir mes créations.
Une première expérience de vente directe pour moi qui ne vendais mes trucs qu’en ligne depuis des années - j’ai adoré le contact avec mes acheteurs, et la valeure inestimable du contact humain - de pouvoir discuter à froid, comme ca, sur le coin de la table, avec les gens qui s’arrêtent, et pour les plus dégourdis, s’embarquer dans des conversations sur la créativité. Quelle belle expérience, loins du virtuel, tous bel et bien en chair et en os, prêt à jaser de tout et de rien, juste pour le plaisir, tant qu’à y être.
Le monde des Fairs s’ouvre grand devant nous, apportant pleins d’idées et de belles opportunitées… à suivre!
Meet me at the Fringe Bazaar this weekend!

Here are all the infos about who’s gonna be there, selling all handmade goodness with a smile on their face - See you there!
Small world we live in…
Story by Moon-Hee for Vu d’ici
It’s now been a bit over a month since I’ve changed jobs and I’m already missing all the new music that was being sent to me and other colleagues. The last album I received (just a few weeks ago) was of Brooklyn artist Reid Paley. Anyways… an awesome surprise, he has collaborated with Frank Black, so what more can I say? I am a music lover and cannot get enough of it:)
Another surprise was when I was reviewing a tiny clip I filmed last year at Southpaw in Brooklyn. I remembered I was filming a wall of posters, because they have a poster of The Dagons who I had worked for the past three years, then I noticed that Reid’s poster was stuck right beside… small world, I knew there was something familiar about that guy…

Viewing the world from a new perspective.
Dare
Last week, Andrea asked, Where in your life can you invest in yourself and in your dreams?
Answers started to get out of my head easily, since living my dreams is almost an obsession: i run my own small human business, so to be independent from time and place, i put as much time as i can into my creative projects (Creacamp, my blog, my art, …), into my body & mind researchs, and i try to fit in every opportunity to travel.
I thrive on freedom in many ways, and try to grab as much as i can: being happy is my contribution to make this world a better place.
Ok, but my mind still ask ‘m-c, where in your life can you invest MORE in yourself and in your dreams?‘
What, wait, isn’t what i am already doing? Isn’t that enough? hm, do you mean, i could get… more?
It seems like i’ve set an invisible limit, somewhere hitted a wall, as if getting more would make me guilty of too much joy.
How could i dare being different and having more than the average?
How could i dare having more free time, money, traveling, fun, play, success, beauty, magic? How could i dare having so much icing on my cake while everyone around is so desesparately running for a little tiny bit of free time for themselves?
I can. Only I can give myself the final approval, the OK stamp to get more of what i already have, of what i already love. The idea that others will suffer, point and judge me for being shinny-happy and prosperous is an old and dirty controlling belief, which I must get rid of - this takes time, and has to be worked on consciously, on a regular basis.
Here i go, i almost forgot that i could get more! Staying with an average, acceptable happiness, i trapped myself again in a system of limited beliefs, afraid to be different and to disturb people around me.
Happiness should always be worked on, one step at a time, always moving forward, with clear thoughts, and actions.
Where in your life can you invest in yourself and in your dreams?

Yesterday I discovered the Round the World blog by Dave, which is very inspiring. He is writing nearly every single day… currently from India. I like his reflections on life and traveling. And he offers very useful information on how to plan a trip carefully, no matter if you will travel for 1 month or for several years.Monday
Today i wish for everyone to let their doubts a little on the side, and create space for trust: trust in yourself, in your feelings, hunch, guts and dreams.
Squam Art Workshops
I did not made up my mind yet, but is there anyone from Montreal attending the Squam Art Workshops event? Some of my favorite bloggers will be there, and i’m sure there’s gonna be electricity-love-and creativity in the air!The Possibility of an Island
I don’t know why, but I picked up that book during our last trip to NYC… I did not know the author nor the title.
But it turned out to be an excellent book and I immediately ordered more books from the french writer Michel Houellebecq. I especially loved the mixture of philosophy, futurism and criticism on today’s culture and society.
Update: La Possibilité d’une île is about to be released as a movie!
