J’aime chiner ce n’est pas un secret pour personne. Je le fais depuis des années et j’adore toujours autant le faire. Ceci étant dit, je n’ai pas toujours été la personne la plus à l’aise avec l’idée de négocier ou encore de fouiner. Il a fallu que je me développe des trucs pour y parvenir….
My Week’s Reading
After what has been the worst floods in longer than I can remember, the sun has finally come out and warmer weather has begun to dry the lands and homes. Despite the devastation of over 4000 homes all over Québec, I cannot help to be humbled by the resilience of the residents and their sense…
