Once upon a time… two dimples accompanied by curls, a round little woman whom the wind from the seaside gently pushed on the path of the tales.
She reads beautiful things that she likes to share; she also writes short stories inspired by her encounters. Her tales are like the tide: they scream loudly and they caress tenderly, they are invigorating and they surprise, they smell good and they carry us away. They always bring us back to the Things of life… Time, love, happiness, others!
