In 2022, I had the opportunity to participate in a project of a coach friend of mine Nathalie Sauvé, that has asked a few writers to offer a written reflection on life transitions for her newly started magazine "Naltitude" vol. 1 Vivre un transition" (Live a transition).
My participation in this project, was based on my own experience of life transition in 2018, when I left my bread and butter clerk job at the Université de Montréal's libraries to go full time creator and artist as a self entrepreneur.
Here is a basic translation in English of this article. The original French version is available through the link below.
"The Blue Hour"
"For fourteen years, I worked evenings in one university's libraries. I survived with a lump in my throat at having to confine myself to a schedule, a hierarchy and heavy protocols. My stomach churned at the thought of working for others. Always doing everything for others, never listening to myself! For me, evenings were "work" and days were "life".
"Life" consisted of drawing, life consisted of assembling Japanese papers. I let the cranes soar in indigo skies studded with golden stars. I created galaxies of ink punctuated with red scales. I fashioned variations on the azure of Delft porcelain. My fingers continuously stained, I gorged myself on ultramarine, moods and words. I lived at my own pace, gloating until dusk, until the transitional hour, the blue hour, the hour when everything turned upside down... In the evening, I had to go to work.
Then, four years ago, I put an end to "work" the way some people put an end to their lives. In one fell swoop, I cut the umbilical cord to dental insurance and the stuff that butters the bread. At 45, I jumped into the abyss of a life without savings. Carpe diem! To hell with the permanent world and accumulated retirement! "Self-employed" was a delicious name that I let melt on my tongue with delight. My life became the present moment.
This eternal moment is the only thing I know now. Gone was the future that so many people were preparing for in the anguish of lacking. I stopped weighing, counting and worrying myself sick. For once, I've chosen myself, I've decided to "artwork".
First, I traveled through the grey of the North, on the high cliffs licked by the sea spray I'd been dreaming of since childhood. Then, back home, I chose to feed on absolute, to drink in the freedom I could only serve. I gradually came back from the slumber of so-called "adult" life. I've finally brought my gagged inner child out of the closet and started laughing after so many dreary years.
Learning and creating are the only things I've ever known how to do. I consumed what little retirement I had accumulated, continuing to create harmony and beauty. I've also created a virtual stall on the world's great web, where I release my golden birds and galaxies of ink, to beautify the world and make ends meet. To work is not to laze about. I've never given so much of myself and my time. But to work is to believe in what we are and what we do.
Today, I sip my bergamot tea and create pottery and collages every afternoon. I don't always know how I'll pay for paper, glazes and rent, but trust and faith that I won't lack for anything are my faithful accomplices in this living studio. I can once again savor the magic of the blue hour and starry skies. I dance to Bach or Gardel in my studio of joy. I get drunk on light, savoring the moment.
I've chosen myself for the first time, I've chosen to embody a different world. A world where I give as much as I receive. A world where art and harmony rule over my administrative board. A voluntary simplicity, assumed and more than amazing...
On the day of the great leap into the abyss, I trembled, I cried and I feared. Since then, I've never regretted a thing. Every day, life feeds me and I offer it everything. It's uncompromising to become who I am. It requires loving yourself more than convention, more than the false beliefs that say you'll be stripped naked.
And even if we do find ourselves naked? Isn't that the only valuable gift we've ever received? The one that kneads us like clay, the one that gives birth to ourselves? What more beautiful adventure than that of transmuting our fears and our chains?
Then we find ourselves, like children, laughing, confident, finally unshackled...
To all those who are afraid to jump..."

What inspires my writing?
I have a passion for, and was trained professionally in dance, visual arts and in the interpretation of the symbolic meaning of images, as an iconographer of ancient art.
Through my intuitive inner journey of self-rediscovery of the last few years, I realized that I am a starseed, with an Altean soul matrix. I am part of a collective consciousness named the Mella collective, which constitutes my soul cluster.
The Mella collective, which includes my twin flame named Eriel, is of high frequency and always offers invitations to see things from a different perspective, in all kindness, benevolence, humor, simplicity and high vibrations.
It also inspires my creative work, such as my writing, travel photography, ink drawings, Japanese washi chiyogami paper art collages, as well as my harmonizing endeavors, Creative Intuitive Transmissions (CIT) and inner guidance communications.
"Inner guidance transmissions. As fractals of Source, all answers lie within" by Abigaëlle Richard
From the middle of December 2021 on, I had the joy to receive, after my morning meditation, higher self transmissions and intuitive art and was invited to humbly share them for free on my YouTube channel at “The grounded starseed”.
My inner guidance can have many sources: my higher self, my soul, Source, the high vibration Mella collective, etc. Since we are all one, the appellations are not as important as the core of the messages, filled with high vibrations, benevolence, love and humor. All of this aims at supporting humanity in these times of transition and encourage each and every one of us to finally find our answers within.
These transmissions can be considered as “non-invasive” “channeling”, where I simply receive the messages as words in my mind and with my own voice, without welcoming any entity into my body.
At first, these humble transmissions took the form of short written texts which I later read in a video format and shared on my channel. As time went by, I followed the intuition to record my voice with a microphone, then simply filmed myself as I
was receiving these transmissions.
The transmissions in audio form have also been shared on my YouTube channel as video montages accompanied by free of royalty music and footage. This free ebook simply offers another format to share this information.
This present document encompasses all the transmissions received from December 15th 2021 to April 18th 2022, and they are accompanied by my intuitively inspired creative work of Japanese washi paper art collages.
It is crucial for me to be able to offer these transmissions freely for the benefit of everyone, without any paying walls, with an accessibility for all.
If you wish to encourage my creative and transmitter work, consider a donation on my website. Your donations help me create and share for free, more valuable content for the benefit of all beings!
Furthermore, the titles of my Japanese washi paper art collages, at the end of each transmission, offer clickable links to both my website and to an online art shop boutique in which you can find original artworks and digital files for creating your own prints of these unique collages.
I hope these free transmissions and collages will bring value to you and offer you solace and harmony in these times of transition from 3rd density to 4th and 5th, in a raising of consciousness of Gaia and all beings of our magnificent world. Perhaps, these simple words and harmony of colors and shapes, can be of help to you in
moments of anxiety, despair or challenges.
As the subtitle of this document underlines, we are all fractals of Source, and thus all potential transmitters of wisdom and high vibrations. In all our sovereignty, we can find all our answers within, in that wise, eternal part of our being, when we stay tuned, in mindfulness and presence, to our own unique frequency.
May these transmissions raise your vibration and bring you love, beauty and harmony!

"Bleu" an autobiography in poetic prose in French by Abigaëlle Richard
“Bleu” (Blue) is an initiatory tale in poetic prose, of a man and a woman united by the desire for solitude and silence. The story, filled with images both oneiric and realistic, unveils the intimate journeys, the great falls and rebirths of Axel, a Berlin bookseller, and of Maëlle, a Montreal artist.
“Bleu” (Blue), is the union of the sacred feminine and masculine, it translates the rise of densities in these times of transition. It is a tale of twin flames and the healing of the heart, which invites one to find wholeness in oneself and the integration of one’s shadow. It is also an aesthetic homage to incarnated life, celebrated by all the senses, as well as a tribute to mindfulness. The tale is filled with art, travels, colours, scents, tastes, music and atmosphere.
This book published in 2021 is available on Amazon On my YouTube channel "The grounded starseed" I presented audio (read by myself) basic English translations of excerpts (the whole of chapter one), with photos and video footage. The first part of each video presents the basic English translation, while the second part of each video presents the French original version of the text.
These videos are presented here as well:
