Silver lining

I’m so happy I found this beautiful place, which can treat me.

It looks more like a campus than an hospital (I’m thinking tiny UCLA). In Paris everything can be romanticized it seems… good for me, because it takes the edge off things. It’s not even an ordeal to come see my doctor in these conditions. The architecture is so vintage, I’m loving this old-vibe medical look. I’m transported in an era that was really stylish.

Oh and by the way, it’s my birthday !

I usually am not in the mood to celebrate, but this year I will. I have a whole thing planned for this weekend, so pictures will be coming next week 🤗

When you find out your normal daily life is called “quarantine”

January 20, 2023January 16, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

These days, being confined at home, I like to take myself on a walk in the woods.

I don’t do it every day, because since it’s winter time we can get some gosh-awful weather. Definitely the worst is the combined winds + rain. Which for me cancels any thoughts of going out.

I have barely mentioned anything regarding my health issues, other than, I need to take some time off to care for myself… I don’t think I’m ready to write about it yet, but basically what I have is chronic. I am learning to live with it, and do the best I can whilst dealing with that. It sure hasn’t been easy but I’m an optimistic, and grateful person.

So, one of the most important thing in my daily life is to walk. Going into the woods gives me such good energy, it recharges me, connects me to the simple enjoyable things, and the importance of life. It also inspires me to look forward no matter what.

There’s no place like home.

I love being home !

Where we live it’s such a beautiful and magical place. We have the woods nearby, and a lake, and also a river down… we get to see people riding horses. It’s very French as well, in the sense that it’s a foodie town, so you can find all the necessary ingredients for cooking amazing dishes. The Farmer’s & Flowers market is stunning, definitely worth going out on a Saturday morning for.

My day-to-day life is actually pretty peaceful, and lovely. I romanticize it a lot, which is easy because the surroundings are quite poetic, and that’s why I absolutely hate getting out of my bubble. I get so much anxiety whenever I have to go to Paris, even though it’s like super close and I’m a Parisian-born. Being here feels like we’re away from that madness, it’s delightful 💗

I am gonna miss you so dearly LA !

But it is time to go back to Paris, and work on my digital presence… whatever that means.

The Blog will be on a break for a couple of weeks, for various reasons : jet lag, post-vacation rest, trying to re-adjust to my Parisian life, festivities I need to attend, and updating the last few websites I was meant to… with hopefully a coherent schedule for myself, as well. So, lots of things.

I will be posting again in a month, from Monday 16th January. See you then, and enjoy the holiday season with your family & friends !

I’m so glad I’ve met you, Los Angeles

This trip to LA made me realize that I have the potential of turning around my life if I want to. Not saying that it’s an easy task, but that it’s a possibility, if I want it. Knowing that gives me confidence, and hopefulness.

I definitely noticed that my skills were still intact, I still know how to write, draw, sing, make a video or edit pictures the way I feel them… I thought I’d lost that.

I need to figure out a way to stay in touch with me, while away from LA, because it’s gonna be tough to feel this good and enlightened when I’m back in Paris. Life is just so much different there, and I’m a truly LA girl at heart, so that’s harsh for me.

I have new limits I didn’t know about, that I can’t cross anymore. I’m looking forward to how I’m gonna re-invent a new life for myself, because that’s what I need in order to feel better.
