Adélie Williams is the founder, owner and jewel designer at Authentique Alchimie. Originally wearing the “author” hat, she recently took on the one of jewel designer. Adélie and her business endeavors aim at providing a peaceful haven in the midst of saturation.

Here are some of the things Adélie shared during our conversation:

• 
  

  “Can you be creative when there’s fear in you?”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “When I am scared I see it as a road sign that there’s something that could be birth out of this fear. I transform darkness into light.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Being fearless is not too healthy. It’s OK to feel the fear, acknowledge it but don’t give it too much credit.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Sometimes when I’m afraid, I just let it be. I accept the fear as wisdom, or a wise teacher. when you feel the fear it’s an indication, it triggers something. It’s an opportunity to get to know yourself better and deeper. Once you know yourself really well, people don’t have that much power over you. […] Fear is the tool to get there.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Faith is being strongly confident in the fact that you’re not alone.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Seeing the link between things helps you feel less alone. […] I can see which events landed me here, which events helped me become who I am now.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Poetry is like a tool for happiness.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “My take on poetry is more sweet, and light, like a guardian angel. […] My poetry lifts you up.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Poetry is linked to what you receive. But you receive what you allow yourself to give as well.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  “Poetry is seeing what has been given to you instead of what’s been taken away.”

  
  
  



• 
  

  And so much more.
