Aqueous transmission

The tittle of this post is inspired by the song I was listening to, feel free to listen to it while you read. I just love this song: Aqueous transmission by Incubus (http://youtu.be/3k0-sGqxIiQ). This song makes me think of the ocean ever single time I listen to it. I grew up next to it and have to admit it's the only thing I constantly miss from my country. There's nothing more relaxing than the sound of the waves crashing on the sand on a warm sunny day.

I had a pretty chilled weekend with friends, at home, with sports & yoga and I must insist life is made out of the little things...the small moments, the little attentions. Always enjoy your loved ones, you never know when they will be taken from you ;)

I'm fairly new to yoga but find it to be very enjoyable and somewhat visually beautiful...when you're good at it not really my case yet but I manage some cute yoga shots now and then.




Looking forward to summer & warmth to try yoga on the lake with the SUP [ô.ô]

I don't know if it's the yoga, the song, both or just the memory its self but feeling so relaxed brought be back to this aqueous transmission I wrote some years back...

'I've sailed through warm waters
As well as frozen lakes
I sail because I have no choice 
And I sing until I have no voice
I want to find what's further down the river
So I'll sing until I float away
Sometimes I look back and see
The many mistakes I have made
I'm just protecting the flame
Making my own way through
The uncertain waters of life
Many times I fought doubts
Doubts I'll ever find what's to be found
But I smile, I smile at life
I just want to enjoy the ride
The largest trip I'll ever make
I don't want my dreams broken
So I sail further down the river
Hoping to discover soon
Where they're taking me
What the purpose of the trip is
I cannot be certain
I sure hope to be getting closer
And that I will reach it someway'

<creative afternoon>

Some days you just have to move and get something done out of your own hands....I've been procrastinating yet wanting to do some clothes repurposing of some stuff I never use so what better than a lazy & sunny afternoon to stop procrastinating and do so...I decided to start with a cute little pair of shorts that I made out of some used denim blue jeans...I'm quite happy with the result [^_^]


After I decided to modify a tshirt that I loved when I bought it but never seemed to find how/when to wear and make it a cute little girly top which I will more easily know how/when to wear hopefully! 


As I can never do something without making myself a new piece of jewelry I now have a new & super cute blue & white fabric ring which I love already <3


I started a couple other things...a sport shirt out of a colorful Adidas tshirt I won at a run last year as well as a cute mini skirt and some hand warmers but those are still in progress ... 🕔🕒

Introduction



Got to start somewhere so I'll go for a small and hopefully not boring introduction...

I am a mess; I laugh, I cry, I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm silly sometimes and crazy some others ... basically I am human like all of you; my thoughts and emotions flicker and change every single hour of every single day. I like writing, reading, taking photos and editing them, I love stand up paddle board and more recently discovered pole dancing as a sport which I am already slowly getting addicted to. I make some jewellery and some decos and I love spending a good time with good friends & loved ones. I live with my man that loves me and can somehow stand me day by day (don't know how but I guess I'm just lucky). I am an animal lover but cats&kittens are my favs so you're bound to see them popping by anyday, we have two black cats Onyx & Smoky and they are my babies as I like to say.



 I am in my thirties and I still have lots of things I want to do some day but never find the time or courage or both but I'd like it to change ... I have lots of dreams but if you blankly ask me the question I'll be speechless and won't know what to say. 😉 I have my head in the clouds but my feet are on concrete ground...tricky combination but it seems it's the one i need to be free.

I think you know it all or at least I can't think of anything else to say, enjoy the read and come back anytime!




Old idea, new beginning...

'Life is a series of steps that lead to happiness, writing helps me to follow this road . I share with you my thoughts, my writtings , my photos or my favorites of the moment.'



I decided that I needed to start writing and sharing even though no one might read it but creating my first blog a long time ago helped so I'll give it another try and as English became the fav language to express myself this little bundle of free expression will be mostly in English but it might also be in French or Portuguese depending on the mood of the moment 😏 

I also started today publishing online for reading some of my writtings and intend to continue...so far it's mostly poetry but someday I might finish the two stories I started long ago...

I realise I am rusty at this...haven't used my old blog since 2010 but it will be a fun thing to restart and hope you enjoy it!
