11 septembre 2015 Vendredi soir… premier vendredi soir de cette nouvelle vie. Vie de Chantal. Pas la vie de la mère de… ou la femme de… juste la vie de Chantal. Un peu perdue, je ne sais pas trop quoi être. Un malaise d’identité. Moi qui refuse les étiquettes et les limites, je suis perdue […]
Tonight, after a couple of hours of overtime, I feel exhausted and I feel lost. I don’t recognize me. And I wonder what makes me believe that I have changed. Am I trying to fool myself and the world? I feel the hunch to reach for Christiane Northrup’s book – The Wisdom of Menopause. As […]
Feeling welcomed and seen is how I felt during my first sweat lodge ceremony. I had the pleasure of being surrounded by men. Once more. And to be totally honored for being a sister, a woman, a mother. Wow. The sweat lodge ceremony itself was very humbling. The complete darkness, the heat, the presence of […]

He doesn’t get many appointments with him and he is still not followed by any therapist for his PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). So, I’m trying to maximize the time we will have in the doctor’s office. After listening to […]
As we are getting on the tarmac and the engines of the plane start winding up, I feel excitement. I love when we take off, my body being pushed in the seat because of the pressure created by the high speed. I have a big smile on my face. I love when the plane turns. […]
