According to reports, Halima Gadji is believed to have passed away in Paris. In July last year, Halima Gadji wrote: “🌿 Message from a large, ailing body on the road to recovery ❤️‍🩹 total healing 🌿

“I may be a large, ailing body…

“But behind this body, there is a smile. A real one.

“Because sometimes, smiling is the only thing I can do to show the world that I'm okay.

“And this smile makes me feel good. It keeps me alive.

“✨ Today, I want to remind you of something essential:

“Do good to yourself before trying to do good to others.

“Not all battles are yours.

“Some are God's battles.

“You are here to fight for yourself, not for everyone.

“If God connects you to certain people,

“it may simply be to teach you a lesson in love.

“Because life is a meeting:

“A meeting of giving and receiving.

“📅 On this Thursday the 31st, remember this:

“👉 The appointment for giving is with you first.

“👉 The appointment for receiving is with you first.

“Give love.

“Receive that love for yourself.

“And that's how you can offer it to others.

“But if you give love to someone

“who doesn't even have self-love,

“withdraw it out gently, like a root being carefully pulled up.

“And replant it in a garden ready to bloom.

“That was my little tip for today.

“Keep smiling 🍌 and stay positive 🍑.

“Hugs and kisses 💋.”
