The good news is that, apparently, the more you develop your intuition outwards, the more it works inwards. This is clumsily said but you get the idea (I hope). Being in the right place also helped a lot... I got more and more comfortable with my growing state of bliss until I was swimming dreamily into it. So this voice saying "everything is all right" actually became rather convincing :o)<br /><br />I do feel grateful, as well, for your kind comments. As for words, they have a wild life of their own and for every post, I must spend many hours with them until they consent to come and dance a little choreography of their own. Which I am patiently doing now for the next post !<br /><br />Much love xoEmmanuelle Rivièrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416870080144386793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068817313793096925.post-90483814717901728612015-01-21T18:10:53.866-05:002015-01-21T18:10:53.866-05:00I just re-read this post and it hit me so hard, in...I just re-read this post and it hit me so hard, in the gentlest of ways of course. How you're able to adapt to the push and pull of life and necessity and of your own internal currents. I have such a bad habit of doubting and going against my own internal currents and not knowing when to trust it that reading this truly felt like soft blow on the brow. Wake up! The words say. Pay attention! Thanks for giving me much to mull over. You have such a way with words <3Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078509975778101344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068817313793096925.post-51448087353152977262015-01-15T23:55:49.941-05:002015-01-15T23:55:49.941-05:00Thank you... summertime dreams ;o) for this inform...Thank you... summertime dreams ;o) for this information and your added insight. I think you are actually quite eloquent about the not-so-coincidences and the bigger picture :o)Emmanuelle Rivièrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416870080144386793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068817313793096925.post-31703063097376282762015-01-15T13:49:02.056-05:002015-01-15T13:49:02.056-05:00Hi Emmanuelle and Chontelle,

I too have had several instances where coincidence just doesn't even begin to describe what happened. You both seem to describe this far more eloquently than I seem able to just now :) Everything just falls into place sometimes with much, and sometimes with little effort. But the bigger picture reveals itself more and more with each passing year.<br /><br />In terms of notifications I just use the Blogger Dashboard which shows me all the new updates from the blogs that I follow. Lately, I check in here anywhere from several times per week to several times per day. I do get follow up emails regarding new comments to the post, and replies to my comments if I use the Notify button though.summertime dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712008670572446373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068817313793096925.post-1702615632599733702015-01-15T13:05:05.083-05:002015-01-15T13:05:05.083-05:00Thank you dear Chontelle for taking the time to sa...Thank you dear Chontelle for taking the time to say all this :o) and I hope my own discoveries regarding this big question can be helpful for you too! <br /><br />By the way, have you read Karen Blixen's Shadows on the Grass? One of her stories in this book (I think) relates the tale of a farmer that goes out to see a flock of birds flying by - and falls into several holes along the way, yet she keeps going. I'm not revealing the end of the story, but you would enjoy it ;o) and the whole book is fascinating!<br /><br />Regarding the notification about my responses, have you tried ticking the "Notify me" option that is located on the right bottom corner within the grey frame of the Comments window? It needs to be done before posting your comment I think… As a reader I always found this useful (and efficient). <br />Emmanuelle Rivièrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416870080144386793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068817313793096925.post-10033705178896292302015-01-14T22:49:43.815-05:002015-01-14T22:49:43.815-05:00Dear, dearest Emmanuelle! This post resonates deep...Dear, dearest Emmanuelle! This post resonates deeply for me. Where to start? The first part about life gradually shifting & changing focus unnoticed in the moment, then in retrospect the jigsaw apparent as it falls into place. A friend once told me that everything in my life was part of my jigsaw & would make its purpose known in due course. Some things have already fallen into place & others are still unknowns, but like you I feel this 'forest', as yet undiscovered & untouched but filled with promise, love & all good things, including my dreams. You express this so eloquently. You're so inspiring, following your dreams, painting your studio floor white! I've always wanted a white studio floor! Your space looks serene, the perfect place for creativity to flow. I'm so looking forward to your next post because I have always struggled with the question you pose....a balance between mindfulness in the present & planning for the future. Big love to you & Lolaxxx<br /><br />P.S I never receive an email or notification that you have responded to a comment, I just check back.

I'm glad you are enjoying your visits here and the glimpses of Montréal (I guess the city's particular good vibe is reflected in my words as much as my pictures, now that I think of it).<br /><br />I wonder if you receive some kind of notification in your mailbox when I put up a new post here, or are you aware of it in some way? I'm asking this because I've had problems with my subscriptions, both as a blogger and as a reader, and I am not sure what works. <br /><br />Thanks again et à bientôt !Emmanuelle Rivièrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416870080144386793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068817313793096925.post-30564327578847850452015-01-12T00:08:01.919-05:002015-01-12T00:08:01.919-05:00Not sure if I've commented before...

I was in Montreal in autumn 2013 and fell a little in love with the corners that I got to know. I thought I might pipe up and say that I thoroughly enjoy seeing bits of the city through your eyes, and I'm excited to see what news you have to share!summertime dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712008670572446373noreply@blogger.com
