Bienvenue!

Bienvenue aux auditeurs de Christiane! J’ai entendu au même moment que vous, ce matin en buvant mon café, mon nom à la radio – j’en suis très flattée.

Je suis m-c (raccoucis pour Marie-Chantale) artiste, illustratice, et communicatrice. Mon travail a pour but d’inspirer les gens et d’éveiller les esprits paresseux, cela via différents médiums, papier ou web.

Ce blogue existe depuis 8 ans, et ma fascination pour le web remonte à loin. Dans tous mes projets, je prône l’utilisation de ce médium de manière authentique et créative – je déteste l’abus de publicité qu’on retrouve sur le web, ainsi que les fausses voix qui utilisent ces nouveaux canaux de communication dans le seul but de vendre.

Je suis co-présidente du studio de création meïdia, et organisatrice de Creacamp, une rencontre pour créatrices engagées (créatifs et créatrices, vous devriez vous inscrire à la newsletter de Creacamp!) Je suis aussi co-auteure du livre Pourquoi bloguer dans un contexte d’affaires avec un chapitre “Bloguer pour réseauter” qui s’adresse aux artisans et brasseurs d’idées.

Vous pouvez me contacter pour différents projets : commande d’article, d’illustration, ateliers et formations sur la créativité.

Every Human Has Rights

Budapest, Hungary

Dear readers, i must say that i now feel the excitement as i finally confirmed today a trip to Budapest.

This trip will be the farthest east i’ve ever been to date. It will be combined with holidays in Salzburg to visit Chris’s family, to renew with the original Apfel Strudel, gluewein, and again to see Salzburg’s beautiful surroundings. I am already into fantasizing of the time i’ll spend writing from traditionnal coffee places older than my own country.

We’ll be just in time for Salzburg Christmas market, one of the most beautiful in the world, and will have enough time to visit my favorite places in Vienna.

As it is for Budapest, i took a first glimpse of the city on the web so to plan my itinary, thank you to other traveler’s beautiful pictures showing me the way:

(also worth mentionning this beautiful fog over budapest).

Did i make you dream a little? Sometimes i wonder if people get envious of the wonderfulness i create in my life. Maybe guilt is in my bloodline, but i manage to get cleaner over the years, trying to create a life of my own, not ruled by limiting beliefs of people and predecessors. I wish everyone would take their time and courage to do the same, to get rid of all the beliefs keeping them away from living a full colored life…

For now, all i can do is, as George Micheal once sang dressed in white from head to toe: Choose Life.

Btw, thanks to everyone on twitter and facebook with advices on choosing between Budapest and Vienna – any other insights will be welcome prior to departure!
