time

Last year I started research for a documentary about time. Or better about the lack of time. One thing I noticed when we moved to France is how I always felt I had ‘not enough time’. When I read about it, I found figures that state over 60% of working people feel they ‘do not have enough…

carcassonne

I went away to Carcassonne for a couple of days to write (and take looong baths, get a new haircut and drink some wine). I stayed with our dear friends who used to live in our little village, and then opened an amazing B&B in Carcassonne last autumn. It was a treat to be stay with you…

the nonsense trap

When life gets serious, you realize how much stupid things have come to matter. Trying to decrease my dairy intake or blaming myself not to get up immediately when the alarm clock rings.

clean

I got used to the clean source water, the clean air, no radiation, the darkness and silence of the mountains. And it is only when I don’t have access to these basics, I realize how they are human needs. In the city we think our living environment is clean, but every time I come back…

anaïs nin

The famous French writer, Anais Nin, named the experience that so many women I know are having right now: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
