I like to conclude my yoga classes on an inspiring reading or a quote. Yesterday, I chose Thich Naht Hanh words on Empathy. Not the best idea of the week. The reading did not really do the trick with my SAHM students. A friend of mine, usually pretty shy, asked “how about compassion for ourselves? So exhausting to constantly practice empathy. We embody empathy, for … Continue reading The power of a Compliment
I am French therefore I love complaining. It is in my DNA. When I read about the French new combat on the infamous Burkini invading our beautiful beaches, I should have reacted strongly. Yet I still don’t understand the fuss. Why? I am a proud feminist, anti clerical and a born democrat. Still .. Blame it on 20 years away from home. On meeting people from … Continue reading I am French, laic, democrat and feminist. Yet I don’t understand the burkini ban

Our regular bag for the day. Every single day of the last 2 months or so, an average of 200 days a year, can we call it a Mundane bag? big enough to carry our tribe ‘s sunscreen, shades, mosquito repellent, bath towels and a bottle of water. Plus my notebook and a blue pen. Today was 90 F, but it is now raining cats and dogs … Continue reading Mundane Monday (of mine): Beach bag
(n). Literally “Cloud Walker”. One who lives in the clouds of their own imagination or dreams; one who does not obey the conventions of society, literature or art. In response to Weekly Photo Challenge on State of mind. Continue reading Nephelibata
Sometimes all we need is to breath. Trust. Let go and see what happens. Planners of the world, I admire you. I am so bad at planning. I love setting directions though, direct the sail along the way. That’s how I feel the more creative, the more in tune with myself, my intuition. It forces me to open my eyes and my heart to … Continue reading Forget about Plans!

One of the things I love most about being a Stay at home Mum? My toddlers’ telling me stories made of Princesses, dragons and huge animals with magic powers (yep, I have a girl and a boy). I love secretly observing them playing “let’s pretend” and creating their own little world and I feel blessed they let me in. I am supposed to be the one teaching them … Continue reading Live by the SunS
“As you rise with the morning Sun, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breath, to think, to enjoy, to Love” – M. Aurelius Continue reading Photo101: Warmth and the quality of Light
After a year of streets full of people, boiling with cars and loud music, no word could express how I had longed for calm and fresh air. Switzerland (Suisse) is my long awaited oasis. And here we are: as I wandered in Thun yesterday and sleighed in Grinderwald today, I felt my lungs inflate with the breathtaking scenery. Take a Breath, look up to the mountains, feel the sun perfuming … Continue reading The French word of the day: Suisse
