The big shift

The big shift for me in March 2019 has been the decision to leave Tunisia, Africa in order to go back to France. I am still waiting for my residency card almost a year after my application. Such legal insecurity puts me at risk because I have a family to feed so I need to work with all the required paperwork.

Leaving

I am sad to leave the country which welcomed me with open arms, trusted me and protected the children and I. I can feel grief when I imagine I will have to leave all these extraordinary people, so generous and intelligent.

The big reason

I go back to France because I want to dedicate myself even more to my website clairesamuel.com and to you my friend. To reach this goal, I have to be able to create a legal entity to support my business.

The question of the month

Justine from the French blog Blog d’une partageuse started this monthly challenge and every month she has a special question. For March 2019, it is: What is the most beautiful thing that happened to you this past month?

The best part was when my 9-year-old son said to me that I was the best mother in the world and that he was now aware of all the efforts I was making for his sister and him.

The photo of the month

The photo of the month has been taken on a wild part of the coast. There are no tourists, only fishermen. I love the look of this little boat. It seems timeless. I could have taken this picture thirty years ago. Sometimes when I walk in the countryside or the old city center, it is like time has stood still. This picture means eternity for me.
