Hors De Ma Zone: octobre 2016

Un fantastique weekend

Le plus dure après un voyage c'est le retour à la réalité.... La routine! Je dois avouer que je suis un peu plus disciplinée avec mes sessions de gym et ce que je mange. Je ne me rappelle pas la dernière fois que j’ai eu mal au dos (YAY!!!) mes sessions de physiothérapie tirent à leur fin. Au travail, les heures ont changé: je ne fais que des 10hrs donc 4 jours semaines (hihihihi!)

Ma semaine a été un peu "rough" mais deux jours de congé ça se prend vraiment bien. Voici un petit aperçu:

Un groupe d'amies et moi avons passé une journée à la Plage Al Maya. Il faut prendre un petit bateau pour aller sur l'île où la musique techno, piscine, plage, alcool, shisha sont au rendez-vous. La température était parfait et l'ambiance super.

Le lendemain, j'ai assisté à un cours de préparation de sushi.

Au moment que j'écris ce post, mon weekend n'est pas encore terminé. Je ne compte pas rester devant mon ordi mais bien profiter du soleil avant qu'il se couche.

Pour tuer la routine, il n'est pas nécessaire de faire des activités extravagantes. Parfois, il suffit juste de trouver une place tranquille, rester silencieux en regardant les merveilles de la nature. Et se dire: Si tout ça existe, combien de merveilles choses puis-je faire pour ma vie?

C'était Daj, pour Hors de Ma Zone.

My art... part 3

I went back home in August for only 2 weeks to be with family, some friends and Art Selah family (my poets family). I performed on august 26th on the same stage as Ezekiel !!!!! It was amazing seriously!!

Right before the event, we had a meeting like we usually do. I felt like I was at the right place. It's difficult to explain how I felt at that moment. I felt like I was invincible, unstoppable, motivated to the max, at peace, free, happy, all this at once. We had a great time praying for the event and encouraging each other. At the event, several women came up to me thanking me because I have said out loud their struggle through my poems. The first time ever I heard poetry I said to myself I will never be able to put myself in that vulnerable position where anyone can see and feel my pain. I was wrong.

Something amazing is happening when you are sharing your story: people see them in you and you see yourself in them. It makes me realize poetry with a powerful message it's what I was born to do.

A good friend of mine told me one day:

"Daj, it's easy for you, you know your gift already. Me, I'm not an artist, I don't have a gift."

Is there any thing that makes you feel free, unstoppable, invincible, motivated, at peace? Take 15 mins to think about it. One doesn't need to be an artist to find his gift. Can you imagine a world with artists only? That's why diversity is so powerful.

My only problem now is to stay motivated and stop procrastinating... That's for another post. All this to say nothing in life is easy so why not doing something that will make you feel invincible, unstoppable, motivated, at peace, free, happy...???

Here some pictures of the event:
