Happy Thursday my chestnuts! 

How quickly the days go by, I'm writing novels for you every day but I've got a lot to say, it seems... In the vein of "vis ma vie de chef d'entreprise" I'd like to tell you about my doubts.

Today, I work every day, yes every day... Because when you have your company and your offices at home, Saturdays, Sundays and even public holidays don't mean much anymore... So I'm a little machine, but I love what I do, I'm the kind of person who gets up super early in the morning because it's soooooo good and I feel like I'm going to do too many crazy things during the day: making, meeting, posting, discovering, learning. I love it, but my biggest fear is that if I stop for a bit, it'll all come to an end as quickly as it started. So today, I'm trying to learn how to compartmentalize my schedule so as not to explode in mid-air. I'm trying to let go of my computer after a certain hour, I'm trying to give myself a little week's vacation (WITHOUT WIFI...) So it may sound crazy, but my biggest fear today is to stop working and let myself live. 

There are many other things I'd like to learn, like... patience. I'm certainly patient when it comes to sewing hundreds of sequins on a shirt, but, as I was talking about yesterday, I have no patience with my projects. Planning for the long term, as with the book for example, was torture. I want to do everything, right now... 

Well, today I've shared my doubts with you... I wanted to thank you for your wonderful comments, it's so incredible to read such positive feedback on what I'm telling you and on this project that I loved doing with Lili... To find the recipe for the black sesame ice cream, go to Lili's article... Personally, I think it's my favorite manicure of the week!
