Dear Creative,

for the past few months, I’ve been participating to the Storytelling evenings at the Beast Comedy Club.

They go like this: each participant has 10 min to share a story of their choice…

My story started in 2022 with Avatar 2.

All my stories are going to start this way until Hinge gets interesting and I can start sharing stories from that dating app.

Dear Creative,

last week, my favourite writing group Shut Up & Write Wednesday was meeting in a new Cafe across town. I was very much looking forward to going but almost didn’t because I wasn’t sure I could make it home afterwards.

learn to say no:

-       more often,

-       to the things you don’t want to do,

-       and even sometimes to the things you want to do but that are not a priority.

The answer to my question was ‘yes’, she wanted to do things differently this year, she was planning to get back to a ‘proper job’ because ‘she should’ because ‘she studied it and also it’d be more money’.

I was talking to one of my colleagues the other day and since it’s the beginning of the year, I asked her if she wanted to do things differently work-wise this year or if she wanted to keep doing what she was already doing.

During a session in Greece a few weeks ago, a fellow freediver said: ‘freediving is my absolute favourite thing!!!’ In the most cheerful tone.

It got me thinking as I reluctantly slid into the water. Well actually I didn’t have to think much, I knew freediving was definitely NOT my favourite thing

Dear Creative,

exactly a week ago, I made my way back from Greece where I spent the most amazing week free diving and giving yoga classes & hypnotherapy sessions to an amazing group of entrepreneurs

In the last couple of months, I got a huge forward push in my creative process which at first made me question one of the key concept in Steven Pressfield’s book the War of Art : ‘RESISTANCE’

Amorgos is a Greek island in the Cyclades. It’s also where the famous French movie ‘Le Grand Bleu’ got shot. A movie about Freediving. Which is exactly why I went there as well: try Freediving.

Last winter, I got this weird idea to try Freediving.

I think it was the combination of seeing my Godmother swim with Whales in Tahiti and watching the movie Avatar 2. It was like a light bulb went off!

When we left St-Malo last Summer, I didn’t think I’d be back less than a year later! Life is full of beautiful surprises!

I went to a new Café yesterday. Many are blossoming across town these days, which is great because I looooove discovering new places where I can write, edit a podcast or meet a friend while sipping a delish cappuccino and eating a Laugengipfeli!

Oh! A free online course ! Let me sign up, never watch it and receive their daily marketing emails instead!

I just unsubscribed from a dozen different newsletters that I usually simply delete, only to receive the same one again the next day.
