Seasonal changes

If you're reading this, HI! And welcome to my new blog! I will be updating this weekly Inch'Allah! So here we go...

When everything outside is starting to die and to fade away, I am turning in with a new page in my life, and therefore starting fresh with something new and exiting: NO FACEBOOK!

A lot of people have asked me why I've suddenly come off it and the reason for that is really simple. Facebook was eating up my creativity and making me very lazy.
I spent any spare time checking it, while I could have been doing so many other things which I couldn't even think off because all I thought of was : check Facebook.
Actually, I would say it's more than turning a page. I think I have completely put the book down and put it away somewhere on this shelf of life. Instead, I want to focus on what really drives me, and makes me who I really am: Writing.
Hence the birth of this new blog.

My old blog is still up but from now on, it will be this one I will update. I tried having my other one as a bilingual one, but I think that meant that no one really could follow on what was going on, once in English, once in French. So this will be exclusively in English. And, if I have the time or the need to, Sable et Cailloux will be only in French.
I will also be starting another blog shortly, for me and abs to be able to share with our wedding guest information and for me to get to blog about the preparations leading up to our big day. I will let you know when we have the date set.

October has started beautifully for me, with some really nice people visiting over from the US, and who helped make my birthday extra special. I feel that my young days are behind me now. I am 25. That means I'm only 5 years away from 30 ! Eek! Not a young lady anymore, I'm a woman. There's no getting away from that!
I say that but I am loving it really. Abs treated me to some new clothes for my birthday, I'm really loving the very feminine 30's and 40's style out this season.

So that's what I wanted to say for today. But before I go, I want to share some inspirational stuff with you to get us all soaring through the week.

What is Enough?
A scolar visited a zen master named Nan-In to learn the art of Zen. Nan-In served him tea but continued pouring when the cup was full. The scholar told him to stop. Nan-In replied "like this cup, you are full of opinions. I can't show you Zen until you first empty your cup". There's a lesson here. Just relax, and let reality be, instead of constantly forming an opinion about everything. This is the essence of Zen.

Have a good week everybody!!
