Rebirth, Inspiration & Courage

They are periods in our life, when we sometimes loose ourselves, and aren't quite sure if we embarked on the right path, if our choices have been the right one.

We then struggle to move forward and can't understand why we are down again, how could we have sent ourselves into this spinning wheel of thoughts and insecurities.

Then, all of sudden, something or someone, helps you take perspective on life, and your situation and from that moment you are born again.

Rebirth. I think we do that quite often in our life, sometimes unconsciously.

When we are stuck, not knowing which way to go, we often look at other in comparison to ourselves. Perhaps I am not good enough, I wish I was as good as this as this person. We judge ourselves so hard, having very high expectations for ourselves and putting so much pressure to achieve, to be someone, to do something big.

I've realized lately, than instead of comparing myself to others, and wanting to be them so bad that perhaps I should just look at this a different way. Instead of being envious of their situation or their talent, why could I not look at them for inspiration instead. Not that'd I'd want to become exactly like them, but take something from them, and I admire and would like to aspire to personally and use them as example, as my own thoughts leaders.

I think we can get inspiration from a lot of people in our surrounding. Everyone people around us, have something to teach us, thought their life experience and their own journey. They are not necessarily the great mentor you've always been looking for, but I think we can all contribute to each others' life. It all starts with a little courage.

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...

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...

Kill the lights….

Kill the lights…. That's what they were trying to do. It is what happened to those folks. Yes the ones. They were trying kill the lights of humanity. The ones that accomplished and did those gestures and actions that are so cruel and took away so many innocent lives. Innocent lives. Innocents people. Innocents mothers. Innocents fathers. Innocents Brothers. Innocents Sisters. Innocents habitants of this beautiful planet. Nothing can bring them back. Nothing can change what happened. All we have, is what is next and how we choose to move forward. The human beings that decided that this was their purpose, their mandate to accomplish, their lights were gone. They did not see any other avenues, they had been influenced so much, that they felt that it was their duty to accomplish. What can bring a human being to that point? What type of world are those human beings living into, that it would bring them to do such terrible actions. I can't explain it. I can't make ...
