The five love languages by Gary Chapman (1992)
I already talked about this book on my blog when I was in a relationship with Nounours. My relationship with Nounours was a beautiful self-discovery because for the very first time I felt loved in my full authenticity. His love and care for my daughters and me filled us with joy and love. I realize how important it is to know how you feel loved and how the other feels loved. I didn’t know what it was like to love and receive so much love from the other person because I had only known toxic love relationships before. Nounours didn’t know about this book, but his attentiveness made him understand…

Candy by Yumiko Igarashi & Kyoko Mizuki
[Shojo manga] Candy Candy – 9 volumes (1993) This manga was published in 1993. It is one of my favorite manga that always accompanied me in life.

I think that after that, I always knew that I was made to live in a couple, a life…

One recognizes true love when the silence of the other is no longer a void to be filled, but a complicity to be respected François Garagnon This book is very small and easy to read. And after I finished it, my heart felt soothed and like it was on cloud nine. It was just what I needed. It’s a very nice philosophical tale with the same enchanting magic as The Alchemist and The Little Prince. This book touched…

Haïku d’amour by Jean-Michel Léglise
Right now I am composing haiku to accompany my intuitive watercolor drawings. I felt like reading haiku about love to be wrapped in love this holiday season. I was drawn to the cover of the book “A Red Rose Wilting”. This simple 42 page book is all about love. The love of nature, the love of oneself, the love for two until its torments. I found pretty the haiku on the back cover : Si je pouvais être…le soleil qui te réchauffe,voudrais-tu m’aimer ? If I could be…the sun that warms you,would you love me ? I can’t imagine living without love and I need to feel it in every area of my life. This…
