Pace and Patience, Life to come

Saturday August 24; One month and one day after I have lost my position, as I sit here tonight, less than a week before I leave on my trip, I am at peace with myself. I am at peace with what has brought my way, the challenges, the people and most of all, the gifts. The gift of time, the gift of learning and the gift of all those people that I got to exchange with.

Passion, intelligence and knowledge all those people have brought into my life. Not because I was looking for it, but because I open myself up to them.

I appreciate all that life has given me in the last year, and I am trying to get the most out of everything. Make sure that my brain and my soul knows that this is about myself, in this moment in time. I have the right opportunity to make the choices that will affect the rest of myself and that will shape me to because the women and I have to be. Dream to the maximum, take advantage of every situation, nevertheless how simple they seam to be. Breath in and breath out, open your eyes wide open. Open your heart and your soul, open you mind and let go of judgement. Let go of judgement of yourself first of all, and judgement of others will not even come into play.

I am preparing myself, getting ready to embrace the journey that is in front of me. I have explained the best I could, to the people that I care the most from. Hopefully you got a little bit of understanding, but most of all, I hope you know that I need to understand myself first and foremost.

Today was the first day, of this new life. Today is the first day of making choices. Weather is the choice of taking the time to think things through, or the choice of enjoying every minute of what is offered to me.

Good night my friends, good night all.

Cheers!

Veronique

For all survivor woman and man; Be good, be you, be strong! Always!

 There are moments in life, that will define you for the rest of your life. Moments you've been preparing for without event knowing about it. My first moment, was when I was 3 years of age, a beautiful little blond brunette, with hazenut eyes, my hair about shoulder lenght and a nice square bang like it was proper in the day. I remember a picture of me, when I was about 3.5 years old, with my orange headphones on my ears and my yellow-orange walkman in my hands, in my I believe if I remember correctly, by brown jump suit. I was smiling so much, because I think it was the first time I was listening to my own choice of music. Since that day, music has become my refuge. From my first guitar, given to me by my aunt when I was 13 years old, to the jazz ensemble I was part of in highschool. Music was were I felt I belond, and where I had a place. I was rejected in junior high by my friends, when other kids from another school merged with us. I was the black swan, the A+ grade...

Today's women; We still have a long way to go

It's the International Women's day. As a society and as women, we've come a long way. We've got our place in society as business women, as professionals, as executives and CEO's of those large corporation. I have been reading for the past two years, on and off, the book Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, this Executive for Facebook. One of the passage that stroke me the most is when she describes how though it can be for a woman, to be who she truly wants to be in this society. Despite all the progress that we've made. Progress in education, in legal rights, in politics. More often than not, I think we are our biggest critics. When I say we, I am talking about women. Weather it's your family, friends or colleagues, I feel there is always someone to judge your decisions. Personally, thus far in my life, I've chosen to take the "career path". I've worked hard to get myself through University, through a male dominated environment in the transport...

The first snow flake, slow times

The first snow flakes are falling from the sky.  For some folks, it’s the first time of a long winter ahead. For others, it’s a sign of nature. A reminder that everything in life needs to slow down at some point, to regenerate itself.  We’ve all had to slow down to some degree in this past year. Slow down from this rat race that can sometimes become life. Normally we need to schedule time in our life to slow down. We plan this grand vacation, to go lay down on a beach, or to travel to a country that we’ve never been. We set our sights on this reward, and it encourages us to keep going and keep pushing in the day to day, thinking that « yes! Only a few weeks lefts before.... » to motivate ourselves that we will finally be able to get a breather. To breathe, to slow down, to enjoy the moment and admire all that surrounds us. We were scheduling that time. This year, we didn’t need to schedule. The ability to slow down was given to us, on a not so pretty platter, but it was. It ha...
