. Life is funny sometimes. It drops a tiny little something (a smell, a picture, a name…) in the middle of your day, and it sends you for a sudden and unexpected ride down Memory Lane. You’re probably guessing that this just happened to me, today. Otherwise, why would I mention it, right? You Lovelies…… Continue reading Kindia…
Patience… I think I’ve really learnt to be patient when Dad got a job in Guinea, and we all moved to the West African country for five years. Almost overnight, I discovered that the concept of Time wasn’t the same, depending on where you lived. Time, and the importance of good timing was…… Continue reading P like Patience…
If you don’t live in the U.S. you might have noticed that our American friends are celebrating Independance Day. Even though the situation doesn’t really call for a big celebration, depending on the state, I wish you all a great day, and may your country live much better days very very soon! For me,…… Continue reading Just thinking…
I always loved learning stuff. Ok, with the exception of a couple of complicated maths and physics classes I had to go through in college, back when I aimed to become an eye doctor. (I don’t remember where in time, I figured ophtamology was a cool thing, and why…) I didn’t become an eye doctor…… Continue reading Out of Africa… (4)
I am a woman. Shocking, I know. But as a woman, I long struggled with my image… I don’t mean to say that men don’t worry about how good they look, but unfortunately, I still believe to this day that a man can be attractive to women no matter what he looks like, if he…… Continue reading Out of Africa… (2)
I mentionned a couple of days back, that I lived in Guinea for five years. Some people seemed interested about my experience, and I thought I could start a couple of short prompts about my life in Africa. I have a lot of clear memories of my time spent abroad, but I think it would…… Continue reading Out of Africa… (1)
Today, The Internets will get flooded with mentions about Independence Day. It is not a bad thing, and I think that our American friends can use the worldwide virtual hug! But July 4th has a totally different meaning to me and my family. Twenty four years ago, we were moving back to Canada, after…… Continue reading My 4th of July…
This one I have to write in French, because Guinea is a French speaking country, and its visit in the Cove deserves to be mentioned… Chère Guinée, Hier, j’ai vu ton drapeau flotter dans mes statistiques. Tu ne t’es pas arrêtée longtemps, mais ton passage m’a fait chaud au coeur! Guinée, tu…… Continue reading Colorier la Guinée…
I haven’t seen a new flag in a while… I like seeing new flags in my stats, especially on so-so days. Last time, I put my best games on to seduce Brazil, and not long later, the home of Rio’s Carnival showed up, and lit my day! Today I miss Guinea. Not New Guinea, nor…… Continue reading Guinée…
I am building up a playlist for Tuesday’s party, do you have any ideas? My brother’s Messenger bubble head has just popped up on the screen… Tuesday, an old friend is throwing a summer party. A very special party gathering a whole bunch of people I haven’t seen in 20 years or so. As I…… Continue reading Soaking in the early nineties…
