Yoga... and various passions!

In addition to writing my novels and all the creation that entails, whether for my titles, my cover page photos or for my website and my publications... I also have several other passions, talents and values! I present to you some of these passions, here, in images and in words!

Yoga, dance, meditation, spirituality... Connection!

I meditate, I dance, I practice yoga, almost every day. It allows me to refocus, to connect to myself, to life. It allows me to let off steam too, sometimes. To create my healthy energy. To keep in shape. In short, as they say; “a healthy mind, in a healthy body…”

Also, I like to connect to life, to nature, to the moon. I chant mantras and put on makeup and dance, sometimes, on full moon evenings. (Or any evening!) I am in harmony with myself and life! I celebrate life... And myself!

Fiston, my big baby, over time, in different settings and adventures.

Cat mom

No, I don't have a "human" child... But, I have Fiston, my adorable big furry baby, on four legs! I know! I know! You will tell me that it is not like a “real child”. And, I understand it. Now, I don't have any other children... In fact, I've had several little furry ones with four legs throughout my life. However, it was Monsieur, the first who went on an adventure with me to Costa Rica, and Fiston, who were the most memorable. They experienced a whole range of adventures alongside me. Adventures that you can read in my books, by the way.

Otherwise, I never dreamed of having children, children. I had dreams. I still have some! But, I never had this real desire to give birth. I already thought that if life wished it, and I had the means and the time, I would rather take less fortunate children, from the DPJ for example. (Or PANI, the equivalent in Costa Rica.) However, I never had the deep desire to have my own. Although I have often encountered them, whether while volunteering, in Nepal or the Dominican Republic, for example...

And, sincerely, Fiston (formerly, Monsieur!), he is my family. My little man, my traveling companion, in life. And I'm grateful to have him by my side. 

Below, you will find Fiston, and my first baby, Monsieur.. Again in different landscapes and adventures.

Vegan and healthy!

One day, sad, after a tragedy... I went to the beach near where I once lived, in Costa Rica. Pigs gave me love for hours. They made me smile again. They felt that I was sad, upset. They felt me. I connected with them. I saw their soul. I felt their love...

I became vegetarian that same day when I realized... (And vegan, a few days later!) I never ate animals again. For me, meat is an animal. A being with a soul, a heart, feelings. I'm not worth more than them. I have never regretted my choice. I feel better in every way. 

I have more energy. My soul is in harmony. My conscience is happy! Not to mention that we are what we eat... So, I try to eat beautiful, healthy and living energies. To be beautiful, healthy and alive. I no longer put dark energy of death and trauma in me. It is beneficial on all levels.

 

 I love animals too much to put them through this massacre, to kill them for no good reason. And, I lack nothing. I have never been so healthy, beautiful and vibrant! I respect life and connect with it. I live in harmony with animals, my conscience, my heart, all of life!

Canvases and decorations!

On a daily basis, I am an artist at heart. I express myself, with words, in writing, with photos (from my publications or my novels!), with my clothes, with my tattoos...

And, it was also me who decorated my little nest. Room by room, wall by wall, plant by plant. I painted all the canvases in my condo. I don't claim to be a great painter, but I enjoyed creating my home.
