That combined with an open mind and a whole lot of courage helped create an unforgettable and life-changing experience.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>She made her debut in a country she knew nothing about by being a busker. She didn\u2019t know anyone. At first, it was difficult to adapt. She would often find herself feeling isolated and alone. But within a year, a shift began to take place. While playing music on the streets and talking with random passersby, her French started to improve. She didn\u2019t feel so alone anymore. As time went on, she got more familiar with the city and the people in it. And then something really clicked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got the music of it,\u201d she says. \u201cI got the structure and the slang. It was a huge part of finally feeling at home in that city. Paris taught me to be careful about projecting too precisely in the future. This is important for two reasons. One, when things don\u2019t go as you planned you risk being greatly disappointed. Two, life can often be better than what you are capable of imagining. I learned to be more open to unplanned circumstances, which helps me to be more relaxed about life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coleman has recently published <em>Busker: Stories from the Streets of Paris.<\/em> The book highlights her three-year stay, the amazing things she learned, the people she met along the way and \u201call the whacky things that can happen on a daily basis when you put yourself out there, as a performer on the street.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7028\" style=\"width: 835px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/busker-latest-page-001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7028\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7028\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/busker-latest-page-001.jpg\" alt=\"The cover for Busker: Stories from the Streets of Paris.\" width=\"825\" height=\"1275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/busker-latest-page-001-630x974.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/busker-latest-page-001.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cover for Busker: Stories from the Streets of Paris.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yes, she made a few mistakes, but she found love too, and in many ways she found herself. She wrote the book because she wanted to share her experience that is definitely outside the norm of what an average person might do. It\u2019s a story about being on the fringe. Coleman says men will love reading <em>Busker<\/em> as much as the average woman. It\u2019s a human story, she says.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>It may seem like you made the wrong choice. You might want to retreat back to your safe zone. Back to your old bed. But even the wrong choices can be turned into the right ones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Her editor, Harold Rhenisch, describes the book as \u201ca tribute to Paris, to love, to independence, to Nishaness, to music, to human generosity, and, especially, to life on the street and busking culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, would she encourage anyone to do what she did? Absolutely. People need to leave their comfort zones in order to create special, life-changing moments that will forever shape a person. Also, it might take a certain type of person to make a trip across the world the way Coleman did.<\/p>\n<p><strong> In her opinion, it was one part brave, two parts foolish and three parts open-hearted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may seem like you made the wrong choice. You might want to retreat back to your safe zone. Back to your old bed. But even the wrong choices can be turned into the right ones. And then later, when you\u2019re 90 in your rocking chair you will look back and say, \u2018My God, I really did that!\u2019 When things go wrong, it can feel bad in the moment, but these are the moments that make good stories later and the things that make you stronger as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coleman grew up in Huntsville and learned to play the violin in her early teens and took her love for the instrument to McGill University and Wilfrid Laurier University, where she studied music. But she was a writer first and recalls writing her first book when she was five years old about an imaginary bunny. She always knew she wanted to write, but it was something she did alone in her room and didn\u2019t tell anybody about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis publishing thing is new and terrifying,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman has also discovered a vibrant storytelling scene in Montreal and is currently telling stories on stage \u2013 something that has deep appeal to her. She has found a form of expression that really resonates with her.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7022\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/Nisha-ladyfest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7022\" class=\"wp-image-7022 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/Nisha-ladyfest.jpg\" alt=\"Coleman has become apart of Montreal's story-telling scene, and enjoys taking the stage to tell humourous, real-life stories.

I love this little town. I always knew it would be the place I'd plant my roots. I need coffee, a bag of chips, bubble bath and foot rubs. My kids are my life. I believe in sleeping in on Sundays and that laughter is the best medicine. Writing has always been my thing and I have an interesting rock collection, too. I enjoy meeting new people so if you see me out and about don\u2019t be shy to say hi.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/laura\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7042\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
