Vous souvenez-vous de cette jeune femme en communication qui m\u2019a interrog\u00e9e il y a quelques semaines \u00e0 titre de personnalit\u00e9 de la restauration? Eh bien, il para\u00eet que cette dame Isabel\u00a0P. a beaucoup aim\u00e9 ma sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 et mes r\u00e9ponses et qu\u2019elle voudrait r\u00e9cidiver en creusant un peu plus creux dans ma vie mouvement\u00e9e. J\u2019ai dit oui, pas pour jouer \u00e0 la grande vedette, mais par affection envers mes tr\u00e8s ch\u00e8res lectrices. J\u2019ai donc re\u00e7u avant-hier la liste de questions de dame Isabel et je m\u2019empresse d\u2019y r\u00e9pondre!<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0 Quels sont les trois mots qui vous d\u00e9finissent le mieux?
\n\u2014\u00a0 Vitalit\u00e9, cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 et vaillance. On dirait que je me vante, mais ce sont ces belles qualit\u00e9s qui m\u2019ont finalement sauv\u00e9 la vie.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0 Que faites-vous pour vous reposer?
\n\u2014\u00a0 J\u2019\u00e9coute de la musique classique, baroque surtout, et j\u2019enfile des perles, je dessine des visages, je tricote, je compose des ha\u00efkus ou je pratique mes confitures. Je suis rarement immobile, sauf en soir\u00e9e, lorsque des s\u00e9ries addictives m\u2019empoignent le chignon.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0 Nommez un d\u00e9faut que vous avez finalement ma\u00eetris\u00e9.
\n\u2014\u00a0 Avec le temps et l\u2019abandon du pouvoir, j\u2019ai d\u00e9laiss\u00e9 l\u2019intransigeance. Cependant, je dois dire que le pouvoir me manque. Dans l\u2019Entreprise, qui appartient maintenant aux enfants, je ne suis qu\u2019une conseill\u00e8re oblig\u00e9e, bien souvent, de ronger son frein.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0Quel a \u00e9t\u00e9 le plus beau jour de votre vie?
\n\u2014\u00a0 Il arrivera lorsqu\u2019un immense oiseau d\u00e9posera ma d\u00e9pouille aux portes du paradis. Mes paupi\u00e8res s\u2019ouvriront, mon c\u0153ur se remettra \u00e0 battre et une vie nouvelle d\u00e9butera.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0 Allez-vous \u00e9crire votre biographie?
\n\u2014\u00a0 Pas vraiment. Mots \u00e0 maux, je me disperse chaque dimanche, comme me viennent les souvenirs ou l\u2019inspiration. L\u2019\u00e9criture quotidienne all\u00e8ge mon c\u0153ur et me garde amoureuse de la vie.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0 Avez-vous un guide spirituel?
\n\u2014\u00a0 J\u2019aime penser que tous les saints du ciel me surveillent, qu\u2019ils me prot\u00e8gent et me conseillent au besoin. Je crois \u00e0 l\u2019infinie bont\u00e9 d\u2019une force sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 la n\u00f4tre.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0 Vous en \u00eates \u00e0 presque 200\u00a0lettres du dimanche. N\u2019\u00eates-vous pas fatigu\u00e9e, \u00e9puis\u00e9e, et d\u00e9sireuse de passer \u00e0 autre chose?
\n\u2014\u00a0 J\u2019adore \u00e9crire ces lettres! Pour moi, elles sont comme \u00ab\u00a0Les pages du matin\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0que l\u2019artiste Julia\u00a0Cameron a rendues c\u00e9l\u00e8bres dans son fameux livre \u00ab\u00a0THE ARTIST\u2019S WAY\u00a0\u00bb, publi\u00e9 en 1992.<\/p>\n
Selon Julia\u00a0Cameron, les trois pages \u00e0 \u00e9crire chaque matin ont pour objectif de lib\u00e9rer l\u2019artiste qui se cache en nous. Ces pages nous aident \u00e0 construire une solide habitude d\u2019\u00e9crire. Elles amplifient notre cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 et nos comp\u00e9tences d\u2019\u00e9criture. Elles nous aident \u00e0 faire le point chaque matin et \u00e0 apprendre \u00e0 puiser dans notre subconscient. Ces pages renforcent notre confiance en nous et nous permettent de lib\u00e9rer quotidiennement nos \u00e9motions souvent refoul\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
Pendant longtemps, j\u2019ai \u00e9crit ces \u00ab\u00a0pages du matin\u00a0\u00bb qui sont devenues par miracle des \u00ab\u00a0lettres du dimanche\u00a0\u00bb. J\u2019en suis tr\u00e8s contente et je n\u2019ai aucune envie d\u2019arr\u00eater de les publier.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u00a0Rares sont les femmes de votre g\u00e9n\u00e9ration qui ont pris leur destin en main. Comment avez-vous fait?
\n\u2014\u00a0C\u2019est une longue histoire, mais en bref, j\u2019ai eu le courage de m\u2019enfuir du logis familial avec mes trois jeunes enfants sous mon bras. J\u2019\u00e9tais d\u00e9molie, mais avec l\u2019amour de mes bambins, je me suis reb\u00e2tie. Vous en expliquer les d\u00e9tails n\u00e9cessiterait quelques lettres du dimanche et elles viendront, j\u2019en suis certaine.<\/p>\n
En attendant, soulignons ensemble la f\u00eate des M\u00e8res!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sortez, regardez vers le ciel, un oiseau vous apporte l\u2019espoir. Un ange le d\u00e9pose dans votre c\u0153ur. Vos yeux s\u2019illuminent et vos paroles s\u2019emplissent d\u2019optimisme.<\/p>\n
BONNE F\u00caTE DES M\u00c8RES \u00c0 VOUS TOUTES, CH\u00c8RES LECTRICES!<\/p>\n

Well, she appreciated the sincerity of my answers and was curious to dig a little deeper into my life. I agreed, dear readers, out of affection for you. I\u2019m curious to see what these new questions are, so let\u2019s go.\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cWhich three words best define you?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cVitality, creativity and courage. It sounds like I am tooting my own horn, but these qualities literally saved my life.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cWhat do you do to relax?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cI listen to classical music, mostly baroque, I string beads to create bracelets, I draw faces, I knit, I write haikus and I practice making a variety of jams. I am rarely immobile, except at night, when I\u2019m glued to the couch watching addictive TV series.\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cName a flaw you have finally mastered.\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cWith time, and especially once I let go of my work-related responsibilities, I am not as headstrong as I used to be. I do miss having power though. I am just an advisor at the company, which is now in the hands of the children. Often I simply sit there, chomping at the bit.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cWhat was the most beautiful day of your life?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cIt will happen when a grandiose bird will deliver my remains at heaven\u2019s door. My eyes will open, my heart will start beating again and a new life will open its door to me.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cWill you write your biography?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cNo, not as such. I am dispensing a little of my life each Sunday, as memories resurface or by acting on an unexpected inspiration. Writing every day makes my heart lighter and keeps me in love with life.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cDo you have a spiritual guide?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cI like to believe that all of Heaven\u2019s saints keep a close eye on me and protect and guide me when necessary. I do believe in the infinite kindness of a force greater than us.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cYou have written close to 200 Sunday letters. Aren\u2019t you tired of it yet? Do you look forward to moving onto something else?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cI love writing these letters! I consider them to be my \u201cmorning pages,\u201d something writer Julia\u00a0Cameron popularized in her book THE\u00a0ARTIST\u2019S\u00a0WAY<\/em>, published in 1992.\u201d\r\n\r\nJulia\u00a0Cameron recommends writing three pages each morning in order to release your inner artist. These pages help to build strong writing habits. They amplify your creativity and writing skills. They help you focus each morning and teach you how to draw from your subconscious. These morning pages strengthen your self-confidence and allow you to free each day the emotions you often keep pushed down.\r\n\r\nI wrote these \u201cmorning pages\u201d for a long time and, by some miracle, they became the Sunday letters. I am very happy about that, and I have no intention of stopping.\r\n\r\n\u2014 \u201cNot many women of your generation took the reins of their destiny like you did. How did you do it?\u201d\r\n\u2014 \u201cIt\u2019s a long story, but the short version is, I had the courage to leave the family home with my three young kids in tow. I was shattered, but with the love of my kids, I rebuilt myself. It would take a few Sunday letters to explain all of it in detail, but it will come, I am certain of it.\u201d\r\n\r\nHope is the biggest gift we can receive on this Mother\u2019s Day Sunday.\r\n\r\nGo out, turn your face towards the sky, a bird will bring you hope and an angel will place it in your heart. With bright eyes, you\u2019ll speak words filled with optimism.\r\n\r\nHAPPY MOTHER\u2019S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!\r\n\r\nCora\r\n\u2764"},"yoast_head":"\n
