Nature

Chris with his mom, last summer, austria. I am experiencing a new level of love and communication with life, with nature. I love every day of it. I hope we can soon find a nice house, a new nest, comfortable and bright, joyful and calm, surrounded by trees, mountain views, and my little growing farm… Continue reading Nature

2010 – 2011

I’m still here, this is still happening. I dont know if i have just been silent on this blog, or just totally absent. There would be so much to write about, so many observations, ideas, new views on life – that just the thought of having to write it all makes me feel exhausted! Right… Continue reading 2010 – 2011

Dear Paris

Paris, so beautiful under the rainbow yesterday evening! Time for us to decide if we stay or leave. I dont really want to leave, now that i feel at home in the city of light, but at the same time, i crave for a comfortable and spacious home, and long walks at the sea and… Continue reading Dear Paris

Marie & Nous

C’est maintenant chose faite, je me joins à l’agence Parisienne d’illustration Marie & Nous!

Learning the walk

“Our culture invariably supposes that action and accomplishment is better than rest, that doing something–anything–is better than doing nothing. Because of our desire to succeed, to meet these ever-growing expectations, we do not rest. Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the compass points that would show us where to go,… Continue reading Learning the walk

Tasty

That is how i feel about our time in Paris. March was cold and gray, we just arrived, exhausted after weeks of preparation, and i felt deeply tired, cold and homesick. April and May were time for us to go trough the loss of our little lilo. June started, we left for a much needed… Continue reading Tasty

Play and fun

Some days are easier, more light filled than others. Some days, i just crash and let tears poor over me. It is hard to let C. see me like this, vulnerable and in distress. In the past, if i did not feel good, i just retreated in my flat (we had 2 apartments), so i… Continue reading Play and fun

Un court message pour vous remercier de tout les commentaires sur mon dernier billet, vos courriels et messages laissés ici m’aident énormément. Je fais des démarches pour aider mon corps à retrouver son équilibre, son harmonie. Des anti-douleur prescrit par ma doc, des scéances de kiné 2 fois la semaine, tests sanguins pour être certaine… Continue reading Suite

3 months

3 months that we are here, and, as i had fantasized for the last 2 years, i celebrated my 35th birthday in Paris, and it was, hm, the least happiest birthday of all, can you believe that? Me and C are learning so much here. So much about what we want our life to be… Continue reading 3 months

Je suis silencieuse, car ici c’est le deuil. Mon amour de chat, Monsieur li, lilo, nous a quitté il y a 3 semaines. Si vous êtes amoureux des animaux, vous comprendrez peut-être ma peine. Le vide laissé par la perte de ce compagnon fidèle et aimant est immense. Après 3 semaines, mes larmes coulent encore… Continue reading 3 semaines

Paris week 7

Spring finally made it to Paris! Right now, my daily stroll brings me to the jardin du Luxembourg, 10 minutes from our flat, but nowhere to go on warm sunny day like yesterday if you are a little agoraphobic — people almost fight for a chair at the sun. Everywhere i go, people seem to… Continue reading Paris week 7

Paris week 6

I am still discovering my arrondissement, even if there are about 1000 tourist attractions in this city, my daily activity is to watch/capture the mundane — i love it.

Paris views

As you might have already figured, it’s not here that you will find some touristic or party pictures. You can head on my flickr account for some eiffel tower shots tho.

Week 5

As we are on our way to week 6 in Paris, i am still in between stirring moods. One of our cat started to feel sick a week ago, making me feel rather miserable after not sleeping well for the last 7 days, always on the emergency mode to detect anything abnormal from our two… Continue reading Week 5

Easter

Hope you are having a nice holiday! Now, let me take you for a walk in my hood! Paris is gray and cold right now, nothing too inviting… Spotting neon advertising is nice for such gray weather. While waiting for the sun, resting at home, taiking walks and eating good food is all i need.

Arriver à Paris. S’y déposer pour quelques mois, juste pour voir si un tel mouvement peut créer l’excitation dans ma vie. Réaliser un tel rêve devrait, après tout, être source de joie, et combler de bonheur l’aventurière qui a décidé en tout premier lieu d’essayer, tâter le terrain, par pure curiosité, juste pour voir. Après… Continue reading 4 semaines

Looks

My messy work table. After 3 weeks, i can finally sit and feel in my creative bubble (see all notes when clicking on the picture). Second picture is me back from the market.

Hello Paris!

There is so much to write, it’s a little overwhelming. Just a few sentences would not do justice to all of what’s happening in one’s mind when moving abroad (and when abroad means Paris). My eyes can talk as well, so for now, just a few clichés should do!

Paris

The move is on its way, we are leaving for Paris in a few weeks. After the tornado of events of the last month (xmas, new year parties, having visitors from nyc and Chris’s parents, then getting married), my mind started wondering about the changes to come, and why i wanted these changes in the… Continue reading Paris
