Consideration...

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I've just lost my patience. Maybe I need to be more considerate of others.

Lately however, I feel society in general is hurting. Maybe it's living in a big city, and people not having any more patience with all the construction and detours. Always being latd at work because you didn't know they were going to block that road today, or delays were caused by some changes or road blockage.

I am spending a lot of time on the road and I find people are such in a hurry. Always wanting to find a way to go before you, cut the line or else. While, we are all of us, stuck in the same mess. We don't have control over those situation, and it's part of the world we live in. And BTW, it's not going to get any better.

I know it can be aggravating. I know it can be frustrating. I think we just need to understand, that everybody is in the same boat as us, and we haven't chosen to be in that specific situation.

It's a question of consideration for other people. I find less and less people trying to be polite, courteous, giving you a chance perhaps to change lanes, because one lane is about to end. Why not try to consider that other people are also trying to get somewhere; work, home, etc. The fact that you are trying to cut the line, or not let people in, will not allow you to get there faster. Most of the time it will probably end up not helping your cause. So instead, why not take a deep breath, put a smile on your face and consider changing your attitude towards others. Understanding that are just trying to get to their destination safely, and that they might appreciate the gesture if you decide to give them a chance. They might in return, do the same for someone else. Thank you with a smile, or a show of hand.

The world is going so fast, we are part of this expectation that society has, to rush, rush, rush. To go to work, to get things done, to be efficient, to get somewhere. I think we are loosing sight of what is really important. Let's take the time to enjoy thing, to be kind to people, to connect with society. We weren't put on this hearth do be bad versus one another, we were put on this hearth to BE together.

Before you get frustrated versus a total dtranger sometimes, despite the fact they might not be doing the right thing. Try to stay calm, and treat them like you'd want them to treat you, with kindness and consideration.

I know! Easier said than done, but I think we all need to try to be better, starting with me.

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 ...
