Trust me

 « There is no need to be scared little one. » she said. 

« How can you know? » the little girl asked. 

« Because you are stronger than you think, not as lonely as you think, and definetely have the spirit and wisdom of an old soul. » she said.

« But I am scared that I won’t be able to do it on my own. That I won’t know what the right path is and get lost along the way. » the little girl said.

«  You might get lost along the way but who says it’s going to be a bad thing. Perhaps it will be the greatest journey of your life! » she said, «  Facing your greatest fears will bring you freedom and love beyond measure. »

« I really don’t know how to do it and I don’t want to get hurt. » said the little girl. 

« I understand, more than you can ever imagine. I’ve been there before, and I really thought I was not going to find a way out. I was looking for a solution that was external to me, a miracle. A miracle did appear, but it wasn’t in the way I thought it was going to show up. » she said.

Curious, the little girl asked, « A miracle? I don’t understand. »

« She was sent on my way by someone who knew pain, but who also could see the light inside me. She was exactly who I needed to meet at that moment. » she said. « I remember the first time I’ve met her like it was yesterday. I was broken in so many pieces and I was hurting and had lost sense of who I was. »

« What happened? What did she do? » the little girl said.

« As I was breaking down into tears, she extended her arms to embrace me and told me ‘I know you won’t believe me right now, but we will get you through this!’ » she said.

« Did you believe her? » said the little girl.

« Absolutely not! » she said, « but despite everything, I was still resiliant and willing to give anything a try to get out of it. »

The little girl asked, « What did she do? Did it help? »

«She wasn’t like any other person that I had met before. There was an energy, a realness about her that I had never really seen or experienced. She thought me to feel and understand my emotions, my energies and my intuition. » she said, « To believe that I had everything in me to get through this. She thought me to believe in me, that I had the magic inside me to get myself out of this darkness. She helped me get to know the real me and to this day she’s still helping me to love myself. »

« Well how did she do that? » asked the little girl.

« She did by being her true authentic self with love, compassion, kindness, belief and humour. » she said, « Together we explored my pains and my fears, and allowed me to free myself from them. »

« What is painful? » the little girl said.

« Oh, was it ever! I’ve never cried so much in my life! I still do to this day. » she said, « The pain is only temporary. Once you free yourself from it, relief drapes you with a sense of peace and lightness, it’s one of the best feeling of the world. »

The little girl looked on in disbelief and said «  I am ever going to be able to do this! I am scared of what I am going to find. »

« Yes you will. I am sure of that! » she said.    

« How? » said the little girl.

With hope in her eyes  she said, « Just take my hand, I’ll guide you through it and we’ll be together along the way. You can trust me, just like I trusted her! »

From me to me, with love!

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...
