Sisters love

I know I haven't written for a while. Different reasons. A lack of time, probably a lack of inspiration as well, and definitely some laziness... But let's say that I've just taken some blogging vacation :)

And today I'm back with a very short article, just to show you the best 2 sisters of the world. MY little sisters ! Just because some days I miss them even more than others, and today is one of those days...

Noemie, 11 years old.

And Justine, 6 years old.

Aren't they the cutest and more adorable sisters of the world ?? ;)

BRAVO !

Aujourd'hui j'ai decide d'ecrire en francais car je pense manquer cruellement de vocabulaire pour parler du sujet que je vais aborder !

Je tenais juste a dire que je suis extremement contente et fiere de mon "petit" frere, Colin, qui apres plusieurs mois de recherche, a enfin trouve un apprentissage pour definitivement confirmer son entree en formation de moniteur educateur.
Cela faisait 2 ans qu'il etait en fac d'LEA et que ca ne lui correspondait pas vraiment. Du coup, au Printemps dernier, il a passe le concours pour se re-orienter vers le metier de moniteur educateur. Tout s'est tres bien passe et il a ete accepte dans la formation, a la condition de trouver une entreprise pour le prendre en apprentissage.
Et autant vous dire que ce n'etait pas chose simple... Car encore faut-il que la structure ait des moniteurs educateurs (ce qui est loin d'etre tout le temps le cas), et qu'en plus il s'agisse d'apprentis.
Il a donc commence par travailler tout l'ete dans un centre pour adultes autistes, mais en tant que remplacant seulement. Bref pas d'apprentissage a la cle. Et c'est finalement l'IME de Seuilly (pres de Chinon pour ceux qui connaissent la region) qui l'a rappele pour un entretien, et qui a fini par le prendre pour son apprentissage !
Bref gros soulagement pour tout le monde, mais surtout pour Colin qui ne se voyait vraiment pas retourner a la fac a la rentree.

Donc encore une fois, BRAVO frerot ! Je suis tres fiere de toi et tellement heureuse que tu aies pu rentrer dans cette formation qui te plait mais surtout qui te correspond ! Je te souhaite bonne chance pour la suite des evenements, mais je suis sure que tout va tres bien se passer !

Avec Colin, mon "petit" frere, qui depuis qques temps deja n'est plus mon "petit" frere que sur le papier ;)

1 year...

... since I'm living in Sweden.

I wanted to write a long article about why I'm so happy to live here, what I've learned during this year, tell you about the people I met... But to be honest, I'm just wayyyy too tired to do it.

I've been working like hell lately. From 9 to 8 with almost no lunch break...
But I love my job, really. And I'm learning a lot. When I compare what I knew about controlling and financing one year ago and now, I'm even wondering how it is possible that I've learned that much. Because it also feels that time has been flying.
That's why I'm more than happy that I've decided to stay one more year. Then I'll be able to use all this knowledge and learn even more.

And in one year, we'll see where I am... Maybe still in Stockholm, maybe back to Paris... or maybe somewhere else... who knows... ?!

Anyway, happy anniversary to Sweden and me ! ;)

Upcoming visitors

The new season of the visits has already started.
Not last week-end but the one before, it was Audrey and Matthieu (my previous roommates in Bordeaux) who were there visiting. We had such a great time.
First of all, it was so good to see them of course, and to spend more than one or 2 hours in a bar in Paris together.
Then the weather was great and we even had a chance to take a swin in the Lake Malaren !


Audrey enjoying the warm water and the hot temperatures of Stockholm ;)

And we also spent a cool evening at Leonore and Leonard's farewell party !

This was kind of remind us all the good party times we had when we were living together... including the hangover the day after lol.

They were my 25th and 26th visitors since I came to live here ! Crazy !
And it's not over... My very good friend Audrey (another one) is coming Tuesday in 2 weeks and she's gonna stay almost one week ! Then it's my Canadian friend Katherine's turn to be there for a few days. And the 2nd week-end of october, it will be Clementine with maybe her sister and one of our friends.
And also my friend Nelly is here at the moment. But she's not staying at my place though.

I'm very grateful that I have so many people coming to visit me, and Stockholm of course. It's true that it's very demanding in terms of energy, but I like my life here so much, that I'm always more than happy to share a bit of it with the people I love.

Early report :)

In my last post, I was telling you that I was longing for the new release of BodyBalance, and I was expecting it in a few weeks.
But this morning, I went back to take the class, and the good surprise was that the first part of the class, actually WAS this new release.
And as I expected it, it's really a great one ! :) And I'm not disappointed at all by the balances part, it was just as I wanted it to be :) Just loved it !! Can't wait to go back and do the whole release !


So I'm pretty satisfied and happy now !

I wish y'all a wonderful Sunday :)

Friday's BB...

I just got back from BODYBALANCE.
I definitely like taking this class on Friday evenings, that's a really good way to start the week-end I think. And as I've mentioned it before, I also like to have it on early mornings, or to start the day at least. I was doing it last Spring (6.45, every wednesday !) but not anymore since Åsa has left for New York. But I think I'll go back, especially now that I'm having quite a stressful time at work.

It's been a few months now since I'm practicing BB, and I gotta say that I like a bit more each time. And if I don't do it for a long time, I have this feeling like I need it. Or maybe it's because I know that it's a very good way for me get all the stress and the tensions out of my body and my mind, so I'm longing for it.

And today, I discovered the new track list of the next release, and I'm really looking forward to it !!! Especially the track #4 on balances... I love that song and I love this part of the program :)
But actually all the musics are good. I don't know if it's because it's the 50th released so they kinda wanted to "celebrate" it, but I think it's gonna be a very good one :)

So, hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to tell you more about it... !

Heaven on Earth

My grand parents have a cottage in the South of the Alps.
I used to go there every summer and during winter time as well. But since a few years it doesn't happen that often, and it's always for a very short time.

Here is the view from the cottage at sunset...


I LOVE it... This is the place where I feel good, serene and calm.

Just wanted to share with you what's a little piece of Heaven of Earth to me :)
