Since I was a child, I think a lot about the meaning of Life, I search to make sense to this world I usually don't understand. It's complicated for me to know where I belong. So I studied the human being psyche in hope to... grow up the way I wish and act for the greater good.

Many times, I tried to share my existantial thoughts with people. But I never succeded to make them hear my voice. I believe there is no such thing as a random event ; I was not ready yet, that's it. My shyness was stronger than my determination, until now!
Today, I am ready, I think, I hope. And I want to give a new beginning to my humble contribution to the world.

I think our society is not very warm, and I just don't mention terrorism in a lot of places of our beautiful planet, neither violence in name of racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny... The lack of education, access to culture and encouragements to existential thoughts make the human being ignorant of the gravity of his acts. Even if he is aware of the horror of his behaviors, in his heart, he doesn't know...
He doesn't know that a huge pain guides him and hides him from the light.
He doesn't know that he is destined to create, not destroy.
He doesn' know that it's not necessary to recklessly destroy in order to (re)build.
He doesn't know that he can love himself because all the human beings are equals, and he is as lovable as anyone else.
He doesn't know that his self confidence was high enough, he would never do bad things to his brothers.
He doesn't know that it makes no sense to compare himself to the others, every single human being has a life purpose, and all the paths are good as long as it is ours.
He doesn't know that every single human being and every species are entitled to live in the Universe, and we are all connected.
He doesn't know that sometimes a warm word, a smile, a hug can erase the doubts, the fear, the pain.
Some trauma can explain some behaviors, but eventually can't excuse them. In the twenty first century, some fortunate human beings don't need to fight for their survival anymore, so they can choose to be the best versions of themselves. Mohandas Gandhi said: "Be the change you want to see in the world", right?

Today, many of us want a better world for our children, the next generations and ourselves.
I think the first thing to do is to take time to understand ourselves. When we know who we are, we can live in peace and we can act with kindness. Open communication is the best way to make the world more peaceful, isn't it? And don't we deserve it? Our beautiful planet, doesn't she deserve it?
The change, it's us, but first as individuals. Every single one of us, one stone after another, can help to build a bridge,  then a second, then a third... No matter what are our differences, we are all the same and connected, and more importantly, we are stronger together! For a sustainable change, let's unite our strengths, butterflies-friends.

Every day, I do my best to put Gandhi's teachings into practice, and today, it's time for me to share with the world what I understand about the human condition and Life. The words are my tools, to me they have super-powers : they can be loving, comforting, kind, peaceful, careful, liberator...

That's why I choose the name Lovin' Words for my label. I think you can understand now thant I want to be a part of sustainable change using kind words, because even if I believe Life is benevolant, it can also be challenging at times!
So, if you are interested by my thoughts, please follow me here and on Facebook, Instragram, Pinterest and Twitter. I can't wait to meet you, butterflies-friends, to place our firsts stones...
Building a bridge, we can do it, can't we?

From the deepest of my soul,

Who am I?

My name is Erika Cazaux. I was born in May 1982, in love with Life and a lot of questions about it.
Just before I turned thirty years old, I decided to express my existantial thoughts in an artistic way. But first, I used others tools.
In high school, philosophy encourages me to learn psychology. So, for seven years, I studied the human being psyche and finally I became a psychologist. During this time and after I graduated, I worked with young people who had special needs to learn. They had dyslexia, dysphasia, attention deficits, some emotional deprivation... they were autistic...

Sensitive to difference, the special cares and passionate by self-development, I defend the right to be ourselves.
Now, my main conviction is that every single human being has the right to be who he wants to be, who he is meant to be.

My dearest intention is to encourage all the people who wish to reach their full potential and to be the best version of themselves. To me, art is a very good way to know ourselves, to express our true selves and eventually love ourselves.
The words are my tools ; I think they are very powerful and can help us to make the World a better place. With words, we can confort someone, we can show the light, we can do a lot of good things!I will edit the first and second volume of my book series Play Life in e-books very soon.
And I am convinced we can reduce oral and physical violence with an open communication. We could be more peaceful, couldn't we?

In July 2012, I created the label Lovin' Words and this blog to share with people my existential thoughts. 
After five years deepening them, very soon I will self-published the first and second volume of my e-book series Play Life. It is not translated yet. Someday, I hope.
I work on the sequels.
