July, the month of all celebrations with first my birthday on July 1st!! You know how much I love to celebrate it, and this year being very special (with a disrupted daily life here in Noumea), it was even more important for me. I was pampered and very spoiled, including a day in a luxury spa – thank you to my family. You know that spas are my passion. Nothing better to stay young and relaxed. So much magnificent energy at this time, it’s as if the Universe was giving me an injection of happiness directly into my heart! And 4 candles for 44 years old… While talking with a friend recently who is fulfilling many dreams, I understood that this was my quiet time, and as I am very spiritual, I know that this rest is necessary for me. When I think of just these last 2 years, what an adventure, I have been very busy. I must say that I respect my wedding vows to the letter – “I promise myself to continue to do nothing like everybody because everyone is unique. I promise myself to always set the bar higher in everything I undertake because the important thing is not to achieve goals but to give yourself the means to achieve them. I promise myself to enjoy each moment as if it were the last, to shake up the codes and to create opportunities because time is an eternal present.” 2022, the publication of my book in 2 languages! Two years of anniversary already!! With the cherry on the cake, a finalist of the Wishing Shelf Book Awards and its representation at the London Book Fair in 2023. Publishing a book was already incredible, but seeing it so well received by readers and being recognised by my peers, I couldn’t have dreamed of it. Last year I was in Spain, Madrid my beloved city – la quiero muchísimo. I took on an incredible challenge, it took me the whole year to write a screenplay from scratch. Zero skills, zero tools, zero idea of how to do it, but this feeling in my gut that I had to do it (like for my solo wedding, the blog or my book). And there again a most unexpected surprise: quarter finalist of the Los Angeles Screenplay Awards. I daydream!! My sister is used to telling people that I can do anything, that it's annoying but you get used to it hahaha Certainly, I owe it to one of my teachers, who one day told my parents when I was 6, that I will succeed in everything I undertake! I have known and I know many failures but that doesn’t stop me from continuing, that is my strength and above all I believe that the impossible doesn’t exist. Add to that my faith and everything becomes possible with patience and devotion… And then 2024 which started strong with my moving in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the writing of my first music album which will be recorded in studio! And yes, this was planned for May in California, but God had other plans, I accept it and I know that it will happen at the perfect time. My musical family is ready to welcome me as soon as I can. The month of May was also my 7th wedding anniversary that I went to celebrate on an island not far from here (islands are really my thing). So incredible to think of all the strength, joy and inspiration that this event - my Solo Wedding in Santorini - has caused in my life, but also in the lives of others, yours included. I am more than grateful. I can't forget all the people who accompany me in these crazy projects, each one more incredible than the last, they have become my family. Being married to myself has given me more joy than I could have hoped for, I am more surrounded than ever, I am BETTER surrounded than ever! I realise how alive I feel writing these few paragraphs to you, writing is my reason for living. As important as breathing for me. Let's not forget that I’m also in the process of finalising my 2nd book: After my Solo Wedding in Santorini - or How my Healing Became my Mission. Another important project for me as you can imagine.
