A passion for circus

December 5th, 2011 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

On Friday night, I went to Geneva to see Cirque Eloize’s latest creation, iD. These past few months, I’ve constantly felt like circus should have a bigger part in my life, but living in Switzerland, I don’t have as many cool options as in Montreal. After the show, which was really cool (especially the last [...]


Closer

November 4th, 2011 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

“With only six degrees of separation or less between you and the rest of the world, why haven’t you contacted the people who could help you achieve your goals and dreams?” wrote Jennifer Gresham in her Everyday Courage challenge email today. I’ve been thinking about these six degrees of separation recently, when I realized there [...]


Relaxation instantanée

September 13th, 2011 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

Laissant vagabonder mon esprit, j’en suis venue à me demander ce que j’avais vraiment envie de faire, à part écrire. “Traduire ou réviser un livre”, m’a soufflé une petite voix. J’ai ensuite réalisé que c’est exactement ce que je suis en train de faire. Relaxation instantanée.


Angels in Rome

February 20th, 2011 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

Angels are everywhere in Rome: in churches, on walls, on top of buildings… But if there’s one place I could feel them the most, it’s in the sky. Their silent communication – like thousands of messages we feel pass but can’t quite catch – warmed me. I’m sure there are explanations, physical or architectural laws [...]


What’s your word?

April 20th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | 4 Comments

In one of the chapters of her book Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert wonders what’s her word. You know, the word that describes her. I’m not sure I’ve got only one. Right now, I can’t decide which one of those three is the most important: inspiration, freedom, sharing. What’s your word?


Faith

April 20th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

In Taïwan, my spirituality got woken up. Before that trip, I had stopped listening to that aspect of my life, mostly because I didn’t have anyone to share it with and because it scared me a bit. I still don’t have a lot of people to share it with (or with whom I’d like to [...]


Allaitement

April 19th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

10h15 Une collègue allaite son enfant dans le café puis se lève. L’air béat du poupon me fait rire. Elle me dit: “Il a bu, il est content!” 11h00 Documentaire sur le cyclone Nargis, qui a touché la Birmanie en 2008. Je lis le dialogue entre une mère, qui allaite son poupon, et le caméraman. [...]


Les disparues de Vancouver

April 12th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

Au printemps 2002, nous apprenions que nous pouvions Vancouver, ville inconnue qui s’offrait à nous depuis seulement quelques jours, mais que nous devions éviter l’est du centre-ville, car un tueur en série y rôdait. Il y enlevait des prostituées, et personne ne les revoyait jamais. Il ne s’agissait pas d’une, deux, trois, quatre, ou même [...]


Les trois bouddhas

April 5th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

Les yeux pleins de sommeil à cette heure plus que matinale, nous marchons vers le temple principal. Des chants guident nos pas, déjà nous apercevons des têtes rasées, des habits rouges. Et la pleine lune, prête à partir, donne encore un peu de sa lumière. Arriver dans un lieu sacré un soir de pleine lune… [...]


Relier les terres

April 3rd, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

Le vent gifle tout doute qui pourrait encore émerger. Elle est une femme spirituelle. Elle croit aux énergies qu’elle sent. Comment pourrait-elle faire autrement? Quand on sent quelque chose à l’intérieur de soi, pourquoi serait-ce un mirage? Quand on se sent en communion avec les éléments, quand on voit, sans les yeux, qu’il y a [...]


See you in a fortnight

February 20th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

I’m leaving for Taiwan this afternoon and will arrive there only on Monday. That sounds a bit strange, but if you count the time difference and the night we’ll spend in Singapore, then it all makes sense. I’m not going to write about that loss and regain of time we experience when we travel. I [...]


Tempérance

February 13th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

Une amie m’a tiré les cartes aujourd’hui. Celles-ci m’ont dit que je devais être patiente et persévérante, que je devais maintenant agir sans trop d’émotions, que j’avais des alliés et que je pouvais enfin récolter les fruits des graines que j’ai semées. Il est vrai que les choses se précisent, lentement mais sûrement. Quand je [...]


It comes and goes

February 8th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

In the past, as far as friendships or relationships were concerned, I needed to understand everything: why I had a certain feeling, why it wasn’t working, etc. I used to be sure that a good relationship would stay this way forever. But last year taught me that everything can and will change, for the better [...]


Help?

January 29th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | 2 Comments

Je ne tiens pas normalement à publier ce genre de choses sur Internet, mais là j’en ai assez, j’aimerais que ça bouge et je me dis qu’un peu de soutien pourrait m’être utile… J’aimerais perdre du poids. Au moins 5 kilos. Qui veut m’encourager? I’m writing this in English so all my anglophone friends/contacts can [...]

V like vegan

January 27th, 2010 by Stéphanie Klebetsanis | No Comments

I decided to do a little experiment: going (mostly) vegan until the 20th of February. I’m curious about what you can eat when you don’t want to have animal products in your plate, and I’d like to see if it changes my digestion. I won’t go cold turkey though and won’t make things more complicated [...]
