“Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong” – Ella Fitzgerald

My name is Chantal and I’m here to help in whatever way I can. I am available for hire in the bay area of California. I am also creating this space to share what I’ve learned in the past and what I am learning now. Check out my Bio/Mission for more info.

As an interactive space I hope for others to share their experiences, recipes, ideas, and stories! I believe life is holistic. Our well being comes a little bit for all different areas. The kitchen and garage are just two areas of our lives. Where is your quiet space for reading, meditating, journaling? Where is your creative space for paint, music, googly eyes and glitter? Where is your social space where you gain support from friends and family? Where is your space for health where you work on what will make you healthier and stronger. The most clique quote that I believe stands so true is, “You cannot love others until you love yourself” and in turn “You cannot help others unless you help yourself first”. So we are back to the oxygen mask ideology that gives a relief from feeling to busy or feeling to selfish to take the time you need. It’s easier said that done, I get that. I’m working everyday to but my bite where my bark is, its a journey. In addition, it most certainly is a roller coaster. What keeps me going most of the time is knowing that the ups will come after the downs.
