Two days and over 50cm after, it finally stopped snowing leaving me feeling proud that I shovelled my porch&a car relentlessly at least 3 times (I lost count) and spent three hours of too-much-powder-for-my-level skiing. . . . . #life #lifeisgood #surprise #photooftheday #snow #adventure #mountains #onlyinwhistler #explorebc (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BscMmfun9uY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=appfm6acy6q0

I met Yulia, a pretty blond, at the wine-tasting event, that day when the leaves just turned bright yellow in downtown Vancouver. She said she liked my name, likely because it was also hers. So in a way I met my name which doesn't happen every day at all. . . . . #loveyourself #bright #photo #photooftheday #writerslife #daily #name #meet #self #me #surprise #unique #magical (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRmGlxnQ81/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hj870xltokp

“I asked you to not say anything. Simply believe – don't doubt anything. You're alive, and this candle is the only point in your universe. Believe in that. Let go of the idea that the path will lead you to your goal. The truth is that with each step we take, we arrive. Repeat that to yourself every morning: “I've arrived”. That way you'll find it much easier to stay in touch with each second of your day.” Paulo Coelho “The Witch of Portobello” . . . . #qoutes #present #focus #qouteoftheday #believe #believewomen #believeinyourself #daily #magic #dailyqoutes #loveyourself #say #nothing #empowerment #personaldevelopment https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRmqv_Hz89/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bx9zbf4v1q6h

After a long day of workshops on non-fiction writing, travel writing, first page crafting and then a not-exactly-engaging reading event, I had to sit down. Luckily, an appropriate stool happened to be nearby. . . . . #lifeisbeautiful #writerslife #pumpkin #bright #sit #style #loveyourself #selflove #selfempowerment #travel (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXma0_gqzS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fb3v1u4w3m4i

People get shocked when they find out my age. (After I'm forced to say it, reluctantly) because apparently, I look much younger than I am. . Wonder no longer: I found the fountain of youth in the Luxembourg garden. (Monitoring my diet ferociously and exercising for years has probably helped too.) . This park has 'manicured lawns and statues', and it isn't all to it. The Medici Fountain rejuvenates you into looking what you want to be looking, but It depends on wether you believe in unicorns or not. . What does my unicorn buddy @senzea say on that? . . . . #create #magic #fountain #flowers #vibe #lifeisbeautiful #celebration #believe #park #walk #explore #travelblogger #play #reality #ritual #fun #moment #present (at Montparnasse) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9rJ12gYi3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13oxqta37shun

Do you believe that I found this hat on a sidewalk? . It materialized itself right in front of me because I had an intention to have a hat. . When you're clear about your intent and have energy resources (read: not burnt out from trying too hard or doing what you don't like doing) reality will react to it with little surprises. . . . . #play #reality #create #dream #lifeisbeautiful #hat #whatis #loveyourself #photooftheday #seawall #boats #fun #surprise #anythingispossible #anything #you #make #real (at Vancouver, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9p_wwAC_L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oatw39cedq5

Meet Sashimi, the royal cat. When I look at him, I'm connected to the divine. . What do you get connected to when you see this wonder of fur? A new vision of the future? That part of you that wants to nap? An urgent need for cuddling? . My friend told me a story when this cat stayed outside for half a day and got soaked in rain. Just a typical Vancouver day in the end of September. He was so pissed off though. He kept swearing at her when she came back home to let him in. . But let's face it, a cat, and even the royal one, can one day fail at organizing his day. . . . . . #zen #cats #pause #essense #photooftheday #vibe #lifeisbeautiful #sweet #day #divine #loveyourself #cuddles #connection #inspiration (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BovgcDiArGJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jk0o80g19fa8

How many hours have you/could you spent aimlessly wandering Paris streets? . When I don't know where I'm going, Paris does. . But of course, it doesn't have to be Paris. Aimless wandering in any city is a great exercise to expand your consciousness :-) because that's when you let go of control and an incessant mental chatter box takes a break. If it does! . . . . #loveyourself #france #adventure #things #travel #create #reality #photooftheday #magic #playing #self #time #space #illusion #creative #dream #dreamtrip #writerslife #dontknow #know #real #style #ofcourse #and #love #lots #walk #personaldevelopment #spiritual #spuritualawakening (at 2nd arrondissement of Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouQWs0A3nb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p2z7v6bse9m4

When I don't try to make things happen, things happen on their own. . And often the result is better than when I tried to make them happen. . Sometimes I forget about it when there is a challenge. Yesterday, spent over two hours brainstorming titles for my book, it's a third attempt, with 7 friends helping me to no avail. . No brainstorming today, allowing it to come to me. . Titles can be brutal! . . . . #things #happen #travel #france #adventure #inspiration #brainstorm #again #red #fall #bright #lifeisbeautiful #loveyourself #daily #selflove #dont #iloveparis #park (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Borbqzjga8c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rqgsg2a8ak0s

You don't know the true nature of a seagull until you throw a piece of turkey, leftover from last night's feast. You don't know the true nature of the person until you throw a handful of time doing ordinary things like walking in Yaletown watching a crab being torn apart.

What is Time? To Canadians it is hockey To Americans it is money English it is Tea Time French it is sex n' wine Buddhists it is irrelevant Elders it is running out Infants it is a beginning Newlyweds it is hope!

Spend a day noticing how many times you judge others and yourself; a powerful self-awareness exercise. . When I did it for the first time I was surprised how easy it was for a random judgement to form in my mind: she(my neighbour) doesn't phone me because she isn't on top of things and not organized; I don't drive well because I'm lazy and useless. . Once you start observing your judgements, they will stop holding you back from seeing things how they really are, without mental filter. You accept others the way they are, yourself - the way you are. . Getting real and staying present is daily work. At least, it's fun. It's also a lot of waiting for the neighbour to phone and a lot of driving. . . . . #words #daily #wisdom #qoutes #qouteoftheday #real #lifeisgood #create #reality #random #surprise #observe #loveyourself #acceptance #now #essence #serendipity #magic #self #exersice #spiritualawakening #personaldevelopment https://www.instagram.com/p/BohecJBA02x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xyxi669cn0y
