Weekly Gratitude: Saturday March 27th, 2021
Bonsoir mes amis! I realize that I’m a day late, and while the perfectionist in me prefers to do something exactly as I’d envisioned it or not at all: late is better than never. Also, it’s the last weekend of March which means I’ll be retiring the image you see above. I love this image so much but I want to challenge my aversion to change and switch out my ‘gratitude post’ image every month. Baby steps. Also, I thought it would be fun to have a new image every month and once the the month was over, on the last gratitude post, reveal some details about it. I might…

Reflections on One Year of COVID-19 Lockdowns: Part II
Bonsoir mes amis (good evening my friends). Happy Thursday! Yes, Thursday, as in not Tuesday when I said I would post but I digress. I’m still getting the hang of blogging again and in trying to be disciplined with my time. Some days I hit the mark; other days I have to remember to be kind to myself when I don’t. But today’s post is not on my time-management skills and rather Part II of a reflection post I started last week. I’ve tagged it here for convenience.Despite spending about nine weeks in France’s very strict lockdown that started last March, 2020 was not an entirely bad year for me in terms…

Weekly Gratitude: Friday March 19th, 2021
Happy Friday mes amis (my friends)! If you saw Tuesday’s post then you know that France and French will forever hold a special place in my heart. True, my French is not so good, but I’m working on it and I’d like to incorporate some of it here from time to time. Hence, mes amis. I love the sound of that- plus, if you’re taking the time to read this then I do consider you my friend! This week seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye; I truly can’t believe it’s Friday again. Perhaps this is a good thing as my life feels like it’s at a…

Reflections on One Year of COVID-19 Lockdowns: Part I
Happy Tuesday everyone. I hope the start of your week is off to a good note. Today’s post will be short but personal, and as the title indicates, it will be about COVID-19. I hadn’t realized this at the time, but I was listening to a podcast on March 11th when they mentioned it had marked a year since the WHO (World Health Organization) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Like many, I have a variety of feelings about this. I struggle to put my feelings into words but I did want to discuss them here so that one day, in a post-COVID-19 world, I can reflect back on these feelings;…

How to Help Improve your Life with Gratitude
Hey guys! Welcome back to Everything Ami. Today we will be talking about gratitude, which is pretty wild considering I never thought I’d practice something enough to talk about it with others. I’m not an authority figure on this subject, of course, just someone who used to be incredibly negative for the majority of their life, one day said “enough!” and has seen her life slowly improve since. Gratitude is a not a miraculous cure-all for the sorrows in our lives, but it can be a powerful tool to aid us when those sorrowful times do occur. I recognize it’s not an easy habit to develop if the concept seems…
