Making a good life since 2010

See the invisible-Believe the incredible-Attempt the impossible!

Monday, July 30, 2012 by Valerie Parizeault


This quote from Robert Schuller resonates with me in a profound way. Maybe it’s because of it’s spiritual nature, and don’t worry, I won’t get all woo-woo on you guys. 😉 Spirituality mixed with business is not something usually encountered. Most of the time when I’m in front of my MAC working until my mind gets numb, I certainly don’t have anything spiritual to live. Or do I?

See the invisible – Believe the incredible – Attempt the impossible!

Somehow my freelance life is all about that:

Having a vision. Believing that I CAN have a decent living trough it and attempting to work until I get there.

That quote is also a big reminder for me that status quo is never an option (and also quite boring actually!). Having and maintaining that spark of (healthy) imbalance provoked by the invisible, incredible and impossible keeps the creativity flowing. 🙂

FYI I’ve made you guys a poster if you like the quote. The photo is from moi, it was taken at sunrise were I live (aka in the mountains). You can download the big version here.

Care/Carry/Cure an essay from ‘You Care Too Much’

In June of 2016 I supported my love Chris as we dealt with the death of both his parents and a co-worker over a three week period. This essay written the summer of those deaths is my attempt to make sense of grief and the struggle to carry all that I care for. Originally published […]
