My ultimate happiness is the annual acquisition of my cat diary. Not just any cat planner, this one from Modus Vivendi. I love it so much that I ignore electronic agendas, I want to have mine in my hands, my little paper sin.
-
Every year I look forward to this moment and when I finally have it, I act like a little girl in front of Santa Claus. Nothing in the world can give me that feeling of happiness and satisfaction that I feel when I finally have my precious one in my hands.
-
I know, it's not environmentally friendly, it's made of paper, bleached and with a plastic spiral. But the happiness it brings me exceeds all the chocolate bars in the world, and moreover, it is not caloric. Its benefits are numerous, it is a therapy in itself.

I am a cat lover, if you know me, I don't even have to say it. Seeing pretty, furry faces every day is enough to soothe me, to make me smile, to melt my heart.
-
Beyond the felines, this diary is the door to a world of positive possibilities. I hope to note several international exhibitions, lots of meetings with current and future clients, solopreneurs or corporates, and other great opportunities like the Beaulne Museum we are currently working on.

When a day goes more than wonderfully well, when I have had great corporate news, sales, personal achievements, I write the appropriate onomatopoeia, in color of course, with its share of exclamation points.
-
Sometimes my gut feeling tells me that I will have surprises on certain days and I write the word "surprise" at the top of the page. Each time, I receive something wonderful, gifts that life sends me spontaneously in response to my requests or simply to surprise me positively.
-
The creative me often writes in color and I always draw a heart on the happy events that have just passed. It's nicer than a simple erasure or to see them disappear. At my convenience, but especially at the end of the year, I compile it to review all the good and beautiful of the past year. It brings back to my mind the outstanding episodes or simply what made up the essence of my entrepreneurial life over the last 365 days. I can see clearly how far I've come versus how far I expected to go.
-
This diary also represents both the entrepreneur that I am and the cat mom that characterizes me so well.

Which of you who swear by electronic agendas can say the same?
