Some days left before i’ll turn double-three, on the thirty. I am trying to spend this week consciously, with time for myself everyday. I know its not like i dont already have this habit of regularly taking time off for myself, but this week it has peaked at priority #1, since my birthday is always… Continue reading Another birthday on the way

Freeing the lion
I’ve got so much to write, and dont know where to start, dont know if everything is really meant to be shared here – i dont think so. Pictures and reflections about my last trip to New York might come soon. As it always happen when i travel, a wonderful new energy has infused me,… Continue reading Freeing the lion
Letting go
I’ve been lately asking the universe for changes. Changes outside – more movement, excitement, aliveness – and changes inside me. I’ve been working on shining light on some of the beliefs which keep me away from the outside changes i wish to see, so i can transform these same beliefs and move on. Since then,… Continue reading Letting go
Earth day, do something
Se re-poser
Trop de gens l’ont oublié. Ralentissez, respirez, jouez!
Winter is over
This is a picture we took 2 years ago, when Chris landed in america for the first time. I love this picture, for I look a little lost, and Chris looks like he’s just about to direct an orchestra. I love this picture because it remembers me of crisp & clear details of the start… Continue reading Winter is over

Love note
You are exactly where you need to be. You are not missing out, falling behind, doing it wrong, not trying hard enough. You are doing more than enough. Whatever opinions you have about it, however imperfect This is yours. Where you are right now. Sitting here surfing the internet even. Is perfect. Thank you thank… Continue reading Love note
Master of your time
“Change doesn’t happen because of how we invest our money. Change happens because of how we invest our human energy, and it always has since we came down from the trees. Everyone’s got a margin of discretionary energy — ten percent, twenty percent — that isn’t used up making their way in the world. That’s… Continue reading Master of your time
Happy Spring!
Looks like spring finally showed up here in Montreal – happy spring to all!
The luxury of rest
To Slow Down is a must, and if i omit, my body does remember me. I’ll be slow blogging for the next days, as i must rest from yet another sinus cold. I know i could buy cheap-but-strong medicine, this way i could continue to run and run, ignoring my body’s urge to rest, my… Continue reading The luxury of rest

The right amount of creativity and focus
Things just happen, sometimes i believe we are guided to hear or see what we need to in order to trigger something inside us, to shine a light so we can move a little further into clarity. Just as i was about to leave for lunch, i found this quote by David Allen: “A single… Continue reading The right amount of creativity and focus
Silence
Wishing a nice weekend to all, off from busy-ness!
Magie
La magie se crée quand une entrevue téléphonique pour une émission de télévision se transforme soudainement en un échange inspirant sur la créativité au féminin – que de belles surprises nous attendent!
Creative and lucky
It must be my lucky day, as today 2 creative souls pointed to this blog: Valerie, which i have met at Creacamp is posting this week an interview with me in her Creative Minds series – then, Christine aka Swirly girl, with whom i exchanged words and art years ago when i was still living… Continue reading Creative and lucky
Nature
These are pictures from last weekend. We went out on the country side, leaving the city and its vibrant soul behind, to reach something more calm where we could watch the world from a mountain top, be in silence with the trees. These moments are some of the best ones, away from the busyness of… Continue reading Nature
Vu d’ici turns 6 years old today
This blog turns 6 years old today, which means in 4 years i’ll be blogging since 10 years. I am still questioning the why-am-i-doing-this, and i guess, its a passion. I have the best of all intentions for Vu d’ici, so it can grow into something more evolved in the next years. I am dreaming… Continue reading Vu d’ici turns 6 years old today
Girls Stuff
I just felt in love with this picture. The girls each look busy into something, in their own world.
The day after
I know most of people curse at the view of snow, but i love it. If i had to choose, snow would stay, cars would go.
Bonne fête les filles!
Je vous invite à aller voir une oeuvre superbe réalisée par Guylaine pour souligner cette journée du 8 Mars. Je vous propose aussi de relire ce que j’avais à dire l’année dernière à la même date, Adieu Madonna, puisque très peu de choses on changées depuis : Nous nous pensions libres et émancipées, mais en… Continue reading Bonne fête les filles!
Fury
You met Émilie a year and a half ago. Here she stands with her brother Léo, born last december. I know they look a little scary and fuzzy on this picture (!), but i so admire my brother and his girlfriend for their beautiful babies. Also for the courage they have to go through the… Continue reading Fury
Dreaming big
Most people can’t. So many of my loved friends and family members dont allow themselves to dream, and now, seems like it narrows down to me, me the one who always said i made my way dreaming. These days feel like i am trying to exorcise the worse of me – believe me, it ain’t… Continue reading Dreaming big
Sometimes simplicity strikes
How i view love
A wonderful metaphor about love as a process… See it here!
Réflexions sur la transparence…
“… Plus généralement, m’influencent les gens qui se donnent à voir avec sincérité, dans leur complexité. Je déteste les vitrines où certain-e-s s’exposent comme des poupées de collection intouchables dans leur perfection d’objets à regarder (“Comme ma vie est jolie, n’est-ce pas?). Comme Kozlika, j’aime ”les gens qui doutent” qui me font douter ou qui… Continue reading Réflexions sur la transparence…

Le boycott olympique
Vous souvenez-vous de la visite explosive de Mia Farrow, dénonçant la participation de Steven Spielberg aux jeux olympiques de Beijing à l’émission Tout le monde en parle? Mia Farrow dénonçait farouchement l’implication de Spielberg dans ce projet, vu les liens entre la Chine et la situation du Darfour. Aujourd’hui on apprend que Spielberg a annoncé… Continue reading Le boycott olympique
Girls Will Be Girls
A really interesting article on feminism and femininity in the NYT, Girls Will Be Girls. L’article rejoint des idées que j’ai déjà exprimées dans mon entrée Adieu Madonna: (…) Each book (the article points to 2 books) reflects a different vision of feminism, femininity and girlhood, but at its heart is a desire — or… Continue reading Girls Will Be Girls
Whats wrong with emails?
Did you know that some of us stop breathing when we read emails? The article, Just Breathe: Building the case for Email Apnea, says so. Did you ever consider that email could be the cause why your life does not work? Well, some book, Never Check E-Mail In the Morning: And Other Unexpected Strategies for… Continue reading Whats wrong with emails?
Paula Scher about the re-branding of USA
While United States citizens are urged to vote today, here is an interesting interview with Paula Scher, one of the world’s leading graphic designers, about how she thinks the US needs to overhaul its image, brand promise, name and messaging. How about removing the stars from the US flag? Source SwissMiss.
Steve Jobs
3 intense and authentic short stories about and by Steve Jobs, almost nothing about Apple: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something, your god, destiny, life, karma, or… Continue reading Steve Jobs
Norway
Something to inspire you dear readers. I believe this picture of the day by Hanne is taken from somewhere in Norway. (Whisper…)
Etsy, people who make a living making things
I was immensely inspired today by Etsy founder’s announce about new funding coming their way. Through his personal approach, his announce summarize how Etsy started, the details about the new investment, and where is the company heading to. I’m sharing here parts of this announce, which i found myself inspired by for two reasons: first… Continue reading Etsy, people who make a living making things
