Opus – 52 opus(es)

Last week-end to rest. The rain is knocking in a repetitive rate on the window, and I have to start packing. I’m on the last stretch of crazy at work, and next week-end I’ll be doing a short trip to Toronto, and the next one, three weeks in Europe. I feel like I’m have a […]

It was a strange week, happiness, sorrow, and very little rest. I went to see Lady Gaga with my dad, he’s such a fan. I was scared when I learned he was at the hospital, but he quickly got out and no way to miss the show. We had a great spot next to the […]

This week I went traveling with my beautiful friend. On the road there were amazing things, amazing new people, amazing recipes, amazing discussions, amazing reunions. She is such a positive influence on me, so this song is about joy. Unfortunately, when I was about to record this song, the electricity shut down because of a […]

My friend Mike from Denver is traveling across Canada with his car. This week he reached the furthest point east in his trip: Quebec city. My neighbour probably found it very unusual to see a car with a Colorado plate in front of my house. He was really interested in the french Canadian culture, visited […]

I had a lot of visitors last week-end. My friend Dan, an awesome Australian now based in Toronto, was visiting, and several friends from Montreal came to join the party. There were people sleeping everywhere in the house, lots of good meals, lots of love. At some point we were behaving like a collective brain, […]

I went to a special theatre performance earlier this week, twice. I liked it so much I returned. There was one performance by two circus performers that I found so beautiful I had to go back and film it. There was a pianist performing live, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, my little girl’s favourite song. Little […]

I ran a 10k on Sunday. It was my second attempt at participating in a race.  Most of the other runners were alternating speed; fast, then walk a bit, than run some more. I did something quite unusual and probably ineffective, I ran at a constant speed for the whole race, then 100m from the […]

Another week, another adventure, this time we returned to Chicago. So many friends, so many emotions, the smiles, the good bye tears, and the harsh return to reality. I miss you all already… ——— Une autre semaine, une autre aventure, cette fois on est retournés à Chicago. Tant d’amis, tant d’émotions, de sourires, de larmes […]

My friend Mai and myself decided on a whim to make a trip to my hometown. It’s the second time we do that, and we have vowed to make a tradition out of it. Road trip to Matane, the city where I was born, where my parents and grandparents still live. A city where I no […]

I’m recovering from that flu terribly slowly, but I feel healthier each day. I got to spend some good time with friends and my husband’s family this week-end and looking forward going to Chicago next week. Also trips to Ottawa and Toronto this summer, and then Europe! I think all those projects help me heal. ————— […]
