K.I.S.S. A very humbling experience!

Funny it is, I forgot for a few weeks, to take care of myself. Instead of focusing on my own environment, I embarked on a journey to solve the world's problems, forgetting in the meantime about my own issues!

Oh yes, I admit, I have plenty of issues. 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 nights with not enough sleep, not accomplishing what I would like to do and in the end, I find myself frustrated, and asking myself: "Why the HE** am I not having fun?"

Kinda ironic when I think about it.

So to keep it sweet and simple! Like a K.I.S.S lol here's my learnings of the last few weeks. Hopefully this time, I will take the time to APPLY what I have learned.

This blog is totally about me, laughing at myself! I hope you like it and make fun of me at the same time, because laughing my friend, is often the best remedy!!



  • I work better when I take my time (why run somewhere, where you don't even know what your destination is! lol)
  • I can't predict the future, so focus on today! (If someone finds a crystal ball, please let me know if it works lol)
  • Give myself a chance (Sometimes we can't be so figging hard on ourselves!)
  • Don't take over the mission of solving everybody else's problems ( I have enough with my own) (Thanks Shelley!!)
  • Other people's expectations are about them, so unless they communicate them to you, you can't do anything about it! (I am obviously not a sky kick!! lol)
  • Trust myself, and have faith in my abilities (If I don't trust myself, I don't blame you for not trusting me lol)
  • Do things for the RIGHT reason (why do I always say yes to everything!!! Back to the fact that I need to take my time lol)
  • I am still learning everyday (when you don't know the answer, stick to what you know, or just say you don't know!)
  • Do the best I can, with the information and knowledge I have.
  • Be compassionate of other people, but you can't help them, unless they are willing to be helped!! ( Thanks Jennifer!!!)
  • Stay away from DRAMA (and don't create any lol)

On that note my friends, have a good week!!!

Ciao!!

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...
