What if we could understand our cycles?
Every month, I find myself getting frustrated and shouting over nothing, which isn’t like me at all. And all of this could have continued for a long time if I hadn’t realized that these moods were happening on New Moon days. The New Moon also called the Black Moon, is the moon that we no longer see at night, the opposite of the Full Moon. Following the moon’s journey allowed me to parallel it with my menstrual cycle. Because yes, modeled on the 28-day lunar cycle, women vary. And that’s an understatement. We evolve, we transform, and sometimes, we feel like a completely different person. And that’s normal! But nobody…

In the middle of the storm, Remember to Breathe
Did you have a good weekend? We’re almost at the end of August, and it’s as if I didn’t even see it go by! It’s incredible how it flies by. I’m working on a new children’s book talking about yoga, nature, and meditation. The characters are magic creatures, living in the middle of the forest, but I’ll say more about this project in the future. Anyway, I wanted to remind myself to “breathe.” 💨 especially when everything goes crazy! So I’ve prepared this wallpaper for my phone using one of my illustrations for the children’s book project. And every time I use my phone, I see this small and kind…

The struggles of my expat life
Today, I wanted to share with you some thoughts of mine about my life as an Expat. Being an Expat is such a delicious and also terrible experience.

But I love being in France, hearing French everywhere, and being able to understand everything. We have the same code, the same kind of humor,…

How did the 1000 hours outside change my life?
I want to share with you this amazing challenge. At the end of last year, I was lost and didn’t know if I wanted to continue homeschooling my children. My youngest daughter wasn’t sleeping anymore during the daytime, and I couldn’t find time for drawing or just thinking. I was starting to search for a børnehave (a Danish institution for children from 3 to 6). As I was scrolling on Instagram, this picture popped. A 1000-hour challenge. I immediately fell in love with this idea, intrigued. I started to read a little more about it and couldn’t stop. I couldn’t wait to start. The challenge was like a commitment, engaging…
