Story to tell....Veronique

January, sometimes you make it hard on us. Seams like you can't decide if you want to deliver the beauty of winter or create some sort of turmoil with your ups and downs. People; looking tired, exhausted, mad, in a hurry. Why does it seam like we are shutting down, forgetting for a few weeks that this is happening to us every year? Why can't we learn, to make the best out of this universe and circle of life. As much as we think, we start the year fresh, like a new beginning. We forget. We forget the lessons of the previous year, of all the years that came before it. Then again, we can't wait for this to be over, we get the blues. I was there myself. Struggling. Lonely. Struck in own head, with all my problems, all my worries. Stopping myself from going outside. It's too f*ck** cold.  Than it hit me. Sometimes winter.

Sometimes the best way to help people, is to be yourself, and improve your own life, and hopefully, along the way, you'll help them by inspiring them and giving them a little hope. Very humbling I must say! Very humbling (is repeating my ego!! lol). (Ego, I hope you take the back seat for a while and let me be!) When I compare myself with others, I loose sights of my own objectives, I loose sight of me. For a few weeks, I was feeling terrible about myself, because I wasn't being true to me! Of course, the little ME on my shoulder, reminded me that when I worry to much about others, I start worrying more about myself (and here goes the roller coster of thoughts!!!). Throwing my overachieving little self, into a series of n...

I have this image, of a new born, seeing the light and feeling the hold of a human being for  the first time, the breath of his mom and dad, feeling at home, where he belongs, on this beautiful planet, just like he needs to be. At that exact moment, he is perfect, a perfectly acceptable human being, the most beautiful moment of life, when love can create something so perfect, so natural. The universe creates new life everyday, in various forms. Animal, human, or else, life has this capability of creating amazingness. It doesn't matter how what we are born at in that precise moment, a career woman, an all star hockey player, a little goofy little boy or a child with certain limitations. In that precise moment, we are deemed perfect in the eyes of our parents and family. We are given the chance to be whatever we will happen to be. There is an openness from people when it comes to new born babies and children. I just look at my nephew, for example. When you look at him, see life t...
