Aucun The time I... danced with a stork
My name is Mali Allison; a psychologist by training and a writer by passion. Recently, I misanalyzed a situation to the point of being in a deep mess. And I thought I was so clear-sighted! That's how the Camino Francés in Spain called me back for a month-long leisurely walk. A priori, I knew what to expect; with my New Balance 574 on my feet, I would reflect while walking at the rhythm of the three challenges - physical, psychological, and spiritual - that dot Compostela, in an enriching symbiosis with other novice pilgrims. I planned, in my spare time, to drink exquisite wine, distribute bracelets as yellow as the arrows greeting us at every turn, and unburden my heavy emotional baggage at the Cruz de Ferro. Thank you, good night! However, that was not the Camino's plan for me. Instead, I faced the physical challenge of dancing a swing, burdened by an unexpected grumpiness more trying than all my aches and pains combined, before seeing big-toothed ghosts from the past come to haunt me during my entire psychological challenge. For dessert, I glimpsed the impermanence of life in gray eyes, then waltzed with a bird as a spiritual challenge. Quite a program. What I take away from this maelstrom is that before wanting to "pilgrim," you first have to know how to dance with or without a stork!

Aucun Prisoner of Silence
I am a normal teenager. At least, I was: fourteen years old, divorced parents, three best friends, school. Until that day. The day my mom met Michel, her new boyfriend. At first, their love story seemed like a fairy tale. But quickly, my mom started to change. She became secretive, no longer dressed like before, wore makeup all the time (even for cleaning!) and always seemed on edge.Distrustful, jealous, controlling. My mom's Prince Charming was far from those I had known in my childhood books. Over time, insults became threats, then slaps, and, finally, blows. My mom no longer went out, she lied to her friends, no longer answered the phone. Despite my pain and my revolt, the law of silence seemed stronger than anything. Until that terrible night when I finally found the courage to call for help.Domestic violence doesn't only hurt those who experience it, but also those who witness it, most often children and adolescents. One might think that due to the seriousness of the situation and the diversity of communication networks, it has become easy to confide, to report. But that's without counting the shame, guilt, and fear that increasingly transform the family home into a prison.
