Our storms are as big as our dreams 

Paraplegic following a surgical accident in 2014, Nadalette La Fonta has fought to reclaim her life. She has turned her resilient experience into a source of inspiration, including through the TEDx talk Nothing Happens to Us by Chance: two million views on YouTube.

In this book, which she considers "a manifesto for not dying", Nadalette blasts the beliefs that make us forget to live, and die without having lived. She shares with us, in no uncertain terms, confidences about her childhood, her brilliant career, trials, illusions, the invisible handicap, mourning and death... With an incisive and moving writing style, she invites us to accept our mistakes and failures as a source of knowledge of ourselves and our potential and to discover our forgotten dreams, the unexpected and the incredible in our lives.

So many stories and invitations to be that sow, throughout the pages, small white pebbles to light our own way.

AS HIGH AS OUR DREAMS

I wrote it for you...

You will see that this book is waiting for you, that I have written it for you, and that I live both its presence in the world and also the rightness of life to which having written it obliges me deeply. 

It is an intense book, a Manifesto. A manifesto for not dying, in which I dynamite the beliefs that make us forget to live and die without having lived! In it, I give you, without gloves, so many stories that distribute, throughout the pages, little "white pebbles" to enlighten the reader on his own path and journey. It is also by accepting our mistakes and our failures as the source, sometimes painful, of our knowledge of ourselves, of all our possibilities and of the discovery of our forgotten dreams, of the unexpected and the incredible of our life: the jewels of our life.

Second time that I take back this book, I had a long pause, I like to digest it. It lists all my life analysis, which I have been dissecting for 10 years in order to understand, to heal, to evaluate, to soothe all the stages that have brought me down very often. I understand so much of his journey and reassure me of my own conclusions. I feel her anger, her determination as a woman who wants to have her place in society, her constant struggle. And one day, this necessary calm after having fought body and soul, this return to oneself to be at peace with oneself and one's family. I haven't finished it yet, but I feel this enVIE that she likes more and more and that I want to find again. A book to be read to take stock of one's life and also to be recommended to young people to make them want to respect and love themselves in order to start a life with enthusiasm and gentleness.

I read "Our storms are the height of our dreams" a few weeks ago. I was hooked by the title and was not disappointed by the content. It was like listening to a story that was both tragic and beautiful. Each time I closed the book I realized that I was not completely out of this life narrated by Nadalette La Fonta and that I was then led to think about my own existence, as if by a reflection game. I recommend this "manifesto" to all those who are in search of authenticity, introspection and a certain quest to deconstruct one's own beliefs, to dive into what is for me, one of the best books of this fall.

The goal is not the goal, it is the way. Lao-Tzu Carried away by the waves of our stormy lives, are we forever destined to a poor and dull survival? Are we going to "die" without having really lived, to finally die in peace, one day? In the depths of our troubled hearts, our intimate dreams seem unattainable and remain confined to a utopian imagination... Yet we move forward nostalgically, and drag this pain endlessly throughout our earthly pilgrimage, like the walker in Schubert's "Winter Journey". Nadalette La Fonta, in her remarkable book: "Nos tempêtes sont à la hauteur de nos rêves" (Our storms are as high as our dreams), which has just been published by Editions Guy Trédaniel, offers us the testimony of her own very singular struggle along her steep and rough path, marked, among other things, by a dramatic post-operative paraplegia, to help us get out of our ruts by giving us the courage to face our own contradictions. The touching sincerity of the author's reflections wins our conviction by irresistibly gaining our confidence: YES, this hard fight is the way to be reborn to a new life where our wildest dreams can become accessible. The path is there: by facing our storms, our fears become revelations and guide our walk to the height of our dreams. Let's walk this rough path with confidence, guided by the vibrant and sincere prose of Nadalette La Fonta. The text of this book, a precious bedside book, "to do" much more than to read, is filled with small pebbles that awaken us to life; let us take the time to stop as often as necessary along the path of the sentences, to pick up the words that echo in our heart, and, with our pockets thus filled with courage and hope, let us move forward with confidence to meet our life.
