04.04.06Street SoccerThis afternoon while driving home a group of boys were playing soccer. They were playing soccer in the street. No big deal? Well, it's not the perfect street to play soccer in if you don't want to be hit. And, these boys are always in this street at the exact same spot every day refusing to move. There were five cars sitting and waiting for these jokers to decide when they were good and ready to get out of the street. It drives me insane. Where are the police? It is really unsafe. It is not ...

03.25.06A blurp that turned into a belchMy recent post people are people stirred up 'some people'. I really didn't think it was such a big deal. I was simply posting that people in bloggie world make questionable posts and like with anything else don't believe everything you hear or read. Some people are not good at adjusting to another country. They are homesick or not happy for whatever reason and should go back home. My husband was one of these people. A good example of over generalization is something my husband told me and I didn't believe. He thought American ...

03.17.06Touched by a pictureThe light represents the soon to be vacated presence of my father in my life. He's dying. ~~ anonymous I feel that these warm rays of light represent hope that seeps inside one's soul, filling them with courage to see their way out of the darkness and into a brighter place. ~~ Peepfrench No matter how far or deep, no matter if you are in a tunnel long and dark, wherever you are...there is and always will be light. This picture reminds me of faith, to trust that the light shatters darkness. Trust it to lead you. ~~ Corey Happy, princess (she sees ...

03.16.06Call it like it isNot so long ago, I learned that racism does not apply only to colour. I grew up thinking that if you were racist that meant you didn't like black people. Somehow, it was generally specific to blacks. I am sure someone else, due to the environment they grew up in, will have had another idea of what a racist person is. Just for the record, I am not a racist person and don't support racist discrimination. I like the United Nations definition of racist discrimination best: ...any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or ...

03.14.06All stirred up insideAs I gaze across this simple image, soaking it in, emotions begin to stir inside me. Another person will not be touched with the same emotions as I. Another person will look at this picture and have different feelings stirred. I would love if you would share with me what this picture makes you feel when you look at it. Please, tell me in just a few words or a simple sentence what it is you feel. Email me at myfrenchwindow (at) gmail (dot) com. I will post your words, as well as my own, under the photo on Friday. ...

03.13.06Religion is a private matterMy husband has on his blog a little button that says Blog sans dieu (blog without God). One of the reasons I hesitated in putting a link to his blog claiming his Godless behind as my husband (meant to be funny) is that people reading my blog would read his blog and think that I think like him or he thinks like me. Not so. I love my husband, but I have my own beliefs and thoughts in regard to a higher being than does he. Simple, yet not so simple at times. I will admit that ...

03.10.06Thinking Thursday is too big for meI had great plans for Thinking Thursday. However, real life as a mother of four children 3 of which are three and under is very pressing. I find that I don't have the time to do the research that is needed and to form and write out my thoughts in an organized and easy to follow and understand manner. I have benefited lately from the inspiration and wisdom of a very beautiful blog by the name of Tongue in Cheek. I love visiting this blog and when I do I have wonderful images and thoughts rolling in my ...

03.09.06Question your government…it is your right and your dutyI don't know if the so called proofs in this video are true or not. That is something else worth discussing. I don't trust easily and in the case of media, I think that is a good thing. Information can be presented through media as facts and people tend to believe these so called facts without question. My husband found this video and told me I needed to watch it. I almost didn't because I thought it was stupid that anyone would think that the United States of America planned 9/11. As I watched the video ...

03.08.06Who said the French are cowards?While living in America, I had the pleasure of hearing all the French jokes I could stand. Keep in mind that I can take a joke as good as anyone else. The problem was that the jokes weren't really jokes as in ha, ha, ha. The jokes were nasty and mean. The jokesters knew nothing about the French or France. Yet, these jokesters laughingly called the French cowards and cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys. These people knew that my husband was French. These people knew that my children were Franco-American. These people actually thought I would ...

03.01.06Blogs have powerWhile surfing, yesterday, I was on Margalit's blog and read her post about her Johari Window. It is a "window" revealing how others see you. I thought it was interesting...yes, I was the social psych. major. I know. Then, today I was on M@' blog (an online friend) and he raised some interesting questions. When do people stop being strangers and how has the definition of a stranger changed with technology? How well do we know our online friends and do we know them better than our "real life" friends? It is a really great post. ...
