ANNOUNCEMENT: Pulsion of Life is moving, & improving !

Blog Life Written on 2010/07/08 by Nolwenn

Hello !

Today is the day when I announce you the changes made in my online Universe..:

  1. The blog moved !
    Why ? Because you may not have noticed that this space is bilingual French AND English, and that you had the possibility to switch the language you can read. French was the main language, and english-speaking people didn’t seem to notice that they have the possibility to read every single blogpost in english too.
    It’s a pity so it was more than needed to improve that point as I live in Canada, where the majority of people speak English, and that this language gathers people from all over the World. So from now, each language have its own URL address, rss etc. For the English version, the address is:  http://www.inner-voices.net/blog/feed, as simply as that !
  2. There will be a design change too. I love the design my husband created for me, but it does not suits me anymore, not “artsy” enough in my opinion, and too dark. So don’t be affraid if one morning you stop by and feel like it’s somewhere else ;)
  3. There will be a common home page for both languages, where you can decide where to go, and with important links (the facebook page, my twitter and then my shop too…).

I really hope it will make things easier for you who read me in English. I’m open to suggestions, so don’t be shy and comment here or send me an email (the link is on the right sidebar).

All the articles were imported here, I just have to fix the categories thing.

I hope you’ll enjoy (PS: a redirection will take place soon from here to there).

By the 4 Winds #5: make some place for Doubt

Journal Créatif,Par 4 Chemins Written on 2010/07/06 by Nolwenn

Hello Lovelies !

By the 4 winds is a project I do with other women in our Journals. One subject, several points of view. If you want to know more about it, go there.

This week’s theme is DOUBT(s) ! Wola it’s getting harder…

I really love making backgrounds with just a word or a short sentence that inspires me, motivates me. And that is what I had in mind this week for the challenge.

My page is… chaotic, upside down, I don’t know where to look at first when I see it, but after all: it’s what happens when my Soul is ful of doubts. When I don’t know what to do, what to trust, in what direction I should go.

I had shades of grey in mind but finally, it does not show on my page. It’s funny how what I have in mind at first when I pick up a them is not always what I do at the end.
I decided to totally let go and just create an “intuition painting”: I put some black acrylic paint across the page, not caring about it getting everywhere smoothly and then just built layer after layer after layer of acrylic paint. What does Doubt have to say to me ? Do. Not.Over.Think.

Except the text, everything is made with acrylic paint. The quote is written with white acrylic ink.

The quote says “Doubt is the Beginning, not the End, of Wisdom”

This week, a lot of my co-journalers friends are in vacation, but I’ll update the page as soon as they create their page. But you can see what was already done (click on the image to go on the respective blog):

Gratitude Friday, July 2nd 2010: Thank you Vancouver !

Gratitude Friday Written on 2010/07/02 by Nolwenn

Yesterday was a special day as it was the National holiday: Canada Day.

Everybody gets dressed in red and white, with temporary maple flag tattoos all over the body, just to show how proud they are to be there. And what I like the most is that nobody cares if you are born somewhere in Canada or if you made the choice to live there from anywhere in the world (and so you become an immigrant here), you just belong here.

So this week, I feel very thankful for being here and now, after about ten years thinking and planning it (yes, I was really young when I first was attracted by Canada).

Thank you for this perfect cohabitation between Nature and Modernism, as if for once, Human Beings let Nature be and made life around. We are surrounded by Nature all around, close to the Pacific Ocean, the mountains are seen as far as the eyes can see, the beach can be just a few steps away… It just takes my breath away every single day since we are here.

Thank you for all the warm people we meet, that engage talking with my girls or me, ask about us and are not shy aout sharing their own experience.

Thank you Universe for realizing my old dream, with my family.

Wishcasting Wednesday: What do you wish for you well-being ?

Introspection,Wishcasting Wednesday Written on 2010/06/30 by Nolwenn

This week, Jamie asks us what do you wish for your well-being ?

↝ I wish to keep working out, but on a more regular basis. My goal ? working out 20 minutes per day, five days per week, every week.
↝ I wish to quit Nutella… yup. This is a public break-up announcement: I won’t eat spoonful of Nutella anymore; even if I am frustrated, even if I am sad, even if I am bored. No more compulsive eating in my life !
↝ I wish to eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits everyday. It’s so much easier in Summertime… I wish to find a way to do it during the four seasons, not only in Spring and Summer.
↝ I wish to enjoy every second of my Life, even the harder ones.
↝ I realized that my own well-being is also powered by helping others in their own struggle, so I wish to have the possibility to help more and more people who wants to, and to be guided in my path.
↝ I wish to continue and finish the writing process of my book, I wish the Universe will help me through it as I don’t know how to make it concrete. I wish it will be published one day.
↝ I wish to help people thanks to Gratitude.
↝ I wish to create as much as I want, as it’s a real healing process for me. Get passed the fears I face regarding my art (I was writing “heart” instead of “art”…)
↝ Last but not least, I wish to be escorted by a Mentor. Creative, Spiritual. Someone who believes in me, someone I trust, someone who will guide me in my Truth but will know how to let me do it on my own. Dear Universe, please hear my Wish; I know you have plenty of positive things in your pockets for me, I trust you and even if I don’t know these things yet, I know it’s for my well-being: I have faith in you, please have faith in me.

This is quite a HUGE wish today, but I wish all this with my whole entire HEART.

And you, what do you wish for your own well-being ?

Today is a brand new day !

Créativité,Inspiration,Introspection Written on 2010/06/29 by Nolwenn

Yesterday was one of those day when everything goes wrong. Every single thing.
I won’t list all these things as it 1) will bother you 2) will just serve in thinking again about it and move the bad energies.

I tried to let go, to think and feel “it’s just a bad day, I can change it the way I want it to be” but it didn’t work. I realize that I didn’t really believe it can be another way. When it’s like that, I don’t fight against the bad vibe, I just let it as it is because I know it’s temporary but trust me: I just wanted to curl up alone in bed and wake up today, wanted the day to end as quick as possible ! I’m surprised I didn’t cry at all, as it’s how my body expresses all his feelings.

And then… I went to Connie‘s dedicated space for people who signed up for her BIG workshop and read one, then two beautiful messages she left me. My mood instantly shifted as I felt the love and her huge positive energy.

I wanted to write all this yesterday night but things made that I couldn’t, I had a lot to say and now that I slept on it, I forgot.
But the most important thing is that thanks to Connie, I passed through a creative block I faced regarding my Art Journal page for today By the 4 winds‘ project. The theme was “DREAM”… and I struggled a lot, my mojo was in inlimited vacation until I read these messages from Connie. The eye came in my mind with this sentence “be fearless about your BIG dreams !“. And that was it… what I needed when I needed it. I love synchronicity !!!!

Today is a MUCH better day. And I hmmmm Sia’s song “the church of what’s happening now” as I love what she expresses in it, it’s so true. So it’s today bonus for you, listen it here: SIA - The Church Of What's Happening Now
