Last Friday, I had a call from my dear friend Mélanie willing to get together in our usual Sushi place to celebrate our dear Francis's birthday but I said that Friday & Monday were the days that I could not! I felt upset not being able to do it!
I remembered our beautiful moments enjoying together dear Sue's ballet classes and the last birthday lunch we had for Francis & Sue who were born the same day... (Melanie and Francis are born the same year! We have big ties through our love for ballet and other arts, and fully enjoying them!
It seems that sometimes, our wish is so strong that makes things happen in our way despite of the routines of life created by ourselves fixing borders to enjoy life & arts!!!
Yes, this happened to me and I had a good surprise!
Someone in my ballet class had recommended me the Friday ballet classes with Sylvie Normandin whom I had been introduced by one of my friend dancers...
Yes, I had 2 gifts (one of our employees could not work two of his morning shifts and instead of getting upset, I accepted to go with it and so, he could work on Friday)!
And, what a discovery, what a gift, what a joy, I entirely enjoyed the class of Sylvie Normandin with other ballet lovers...she was the teacher whom I needed...to let me go on the wings of music 'border free' trusting in letting me go fearless! As she is an amazing instructor...so I let me feel like a feather given to the most beautiful breezes of trust ...
Thanks to dear Sylvie for having worked so hard and being so passionate to transfer it to us...And while I was trying to follow her instructions, fascinated, I melted in graceful and joyful way she was there sharing her Art of being!

All That Jazz " Everything Old is New Again "
After the workshop, we enjoyed being together and missed you soooo much dear Sue (a big hug and Happy birthday to you from 3 of us!)...I admire watching and hearing Francis & Mélanie who look like twin sisters (borned the same year) through their elegant and beautiful gestures and graceful words in such a good English...I feel so delighted in our friendship & nourished... words of wisdom through harmonious minds and hearts in contact!
Amazing, I was thinking again, how we were tided and are respectful to each one of us despite of being from different families, countries, grown up differently... such a precious relationship letting us being just ourselves while being open and grateful to any of our words of wisdom!
Many thanks to my dear Francis & Mélanie for these gifts of wisdom:
Francis:
'The performance is in entirety, is a work of art and must follow the principal of art which is: too much is as bad as too little. Always wanting your audience wanting more!'
Mélanie:
'The genius is knowing when to stop', from an artist
Francis wanted me to pass this gift to a precious friend whom we knew both and is genius in divers arts.
I said,' Wait my friend, this is amazing and is what I myself am working on, thanks! I definitely pass this message to our friend, too! '.
I thought then:
'This might also happen to be discovered through maturity in any arts by doing it and exposing it to the audience and their critics...but, obviously it is such a precious gift when a friend shares it with us just when you need to know about it ! I hope we are all open to such generous gifts and use its benefits...!'
'Excess might create a dis-balance by purpose in order to create something specifically special sometimes in a specific time but still might stay fragile and might not be able to resist through time...!' Shahrzad
Beautifully written but a beautiful person. May you continue to see, experience and radiate only joy and light. I'm so blessed to know you. 💜💜
