About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to raise my daughter to be the person she's meant to be
to live slowly

ABOUT ME

I'm a mother and a daughter. I'm gentle and strong. I like singing out loud on my bike and everything calm. I have strong opinions but I see myself as an open minded person. I'm a realist trying to be an optimist, curious, easily carried away by imagination, always in for a new idea. I'm good at letting things happen.
Because life is a journey. Destinations don't matter. It's the being on the road.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day, life offers you some little presents. No matter how small they are, unwrap them. And be in awe.

Interests

Walking, wandering, wondering - these words say it all. I like other peoples stories, big and small. I like being directed by the moment, by the circumstances. I like pretty things, drawings, to draw, to play and to talk french.
But most of all I like to spent time with my daughter. She changes my world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of years ago I walked from my home to Santiago de Compostela -- 4 months of living day by day, guided by the rythm of my feet, accompagnied by the sun and some great people I met along the way. A life changing experience!
The last day of that journey I met a man, he left, but gave me the most beautiful daughter ever.
