A noisy spring

On spring, several events will take place, including a march in Paris. Throughout the week, there will be activities all over the world to mobilize for biodiversity. Personnally, I would like to say I love organic food and when it’s possible I prefer to walk, bije or public transportation. While this propose aren’t directly related to the literary content I usually write on this site, I felt it’s important to share it :

Women’s Rights and Artists International Day 2026

Céline Valette writing a text, thanks to the museum for the photo.

For the On International Women’s Day, I left a few words in an envelope at a photo exhibition dedicated to the artist Marilyn Monroe at the Saint Cyprien collections. Each participant was invited to compose few verses for this very important day; here are the few lines I wrote :

For everyone, my body, my choice is one of the battles you fought so hard for. For all the victories and obstacles encountered, I encourage you in all your progress.

Photos depicting Marilyn Monroe alone and at a meeting with her business partners, as she also held shares in companies related to the film industry. She was an actress who wrote scripts and planned for her financial future.

Film-Debate: International Days for Greater Tolerance

As part of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, I participated in the film debate about the documentary Casa Susanna at the Thuir library.

Here is a link to the documentary’s page.

This Thursday is also World Environment Day. Personally, I’m using insulated bottles more and more than plastic ones; there are some efforts like that that are possible. I also avoid blisters (plastic sleeves) on magazines.

Sharing-giving

Being a blood donor isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s possible, sometimes it’s not. It all depends on each person’s health, and it’s also a decision we make. Late yesterday, I gave blood at a city blood drive organized by the French Blood Establishment. It’s part of my values, and I was able to do it.

Emotional moment

In a secularist approach, I will be after my work this evenening at the day of the memory of genocide and the prevention of crimes against humanity. It is an important moment. For this day, I will go to Rivesaltes where a book : Women of Auschwitz-Birkenau and a documentary : Esther Senot, the rescuee of Auschwitz would be presented.

Program of the memorial

Happy new year 2025

I wish you all a happy holiday season. May 2025 be synonymous with health, success and precious moments shared.

See you soon 🙂

First aid

Although this is not within the remit of writers, on October 4 I took first aid training and obtained a PSC 1 certificate. A big thank you to the trainer (federation of firefighters). I acquired notions that interested me a lot. Beyond the fact that it can be useful in everyday life, it is a very rewarding personal experience that I recommend to everyone.
