Julie Marcil - Artist and owner of Atelier Mijù
At 36 years old, a little less than 4 years ago, in high spirits, I left an orientation service with my Chai Latté and I walked semi-conscious of the road in front of me and passers-by around me, telling me that this tenth meeting would probably yield nothing. With a heavy heart, I felt that I no longer belonged to any title, any group, just a girl who was between two lives waiting for the flash of genius that would finally make her happy...because we wont deny it, in 2022, happiness you have everything to find it but you never know where it's hidden... maybe between two life coach appointments who knows ?Or even behind the veil of incense smoke at thoses long meditative retreats.
And you spin all day to find out if you;re going to have courage or intelligence...because deep down we always know what makes us happy. It's just that sometimes we don't want to admit it to ourselves because that it would imply that life as we know it wouldn't just need a makeover…it would need to start fresh. I had spent more than 10 years in administration doing several jobs in events, printing, advertising, organizing everything that gets organized without having found something that feeds my soul.
You know that soul that we forget somewhere in our toy box telling ourselves that life must be serious… it's for adults after all and we forget to dream bigger, to dream more beautiful.'But that day at the corner of Mont-royal / De Lanaudière I had the clap of thunder and all the lightning...all the light from all the bulbs that came on...which shone brightly as if to show me the way.' I was to be an artist, a leatherworker.'
As Émilie Bibeau would say in her book Coeur Vintage: You bring together two things that have never been put together before. may not notice it at the time, but it doesn't matter: the world has changed all the same.'And like many people of my generation, I started again.gave up everything and went back to learning my job on the school benches with a still embryonic dream of what Mijù would be and only the conviction that I was to do it. today with my feet firmly anchored in the project, I look back with a short breath to see how far I have come and I look ahead with the dizziness of how far there is still to go.
If you are on this page it is because somewhere you have heard of Mijù… and you want to tell others about it.Do it and don't forget to tell them that it's a project that comes from my heart to theirs with all my love.\
