Foundations; The basis of our lives

A vision: Imagine yourself watching a building go up, a bridge taking shape. As a modern civilization, we've been know to build things bigger and better than the previous generations. Through technologies and research, we are finding new ways to do things. More efficiently. No matter how tall and big we can make things, there is always one thing that remains as important as it used to be years, decades and centuries ago. Foundation: The basis on which a thing stands, is founded, or is supported.- The free  dictionnary.com Foundation is the base of most things in our lives. In things that we build or even in our relationships. When you look at all the people that have an important part to play in our lives, there is a foundation to that relationship. Yes, it usually starts with things you have in common, like hobby, sports, tastes in food. Initially  this is what you need to start the foundation of a lasting relationship. To be honest, not to long ago, I would h...

Thankful; Moments in life, moments to come, moments to be!

October 31, 2012, February 2013, June 14th, July 23rd, August 29th, September 18th, 2013...just a few dates that are coming to mind. A lots of things have happened lately and my life keeps evolving! I feel lucky to have learned and lived the experiences that made me a better person over this journey of the last year. Life has shown me what I am capable of, what I am able to accomplish. I believe in myself, I have faith in life, I trust my intuitions. Hoping the butterfly effect keeps on going and keep sending me people along the way that are helping and inspiring me. Truly enjoying life, and living it to the fullest. Hoping to inspire people, by my actions and by being me. Allow yourself to be, whoever you are, it will be the best thing you could have ever done for yourself. Thanks to my family, my friends and strangers to be or have been part of my life. You all know who you are, and I will forever be thankful for it. Love, Feel, BE! xxxx This world can be perfect, you just...

Une nouvelle aventure, spontanéité!

Ayant commencer mon nouveau parcours professionnel depuis un peu plus de deux semaines, entrainé dans un tourbillon de nouvelles personnes, nouveaux bureaux, nouveaux concepts, nouvelle façon de travailler et encore plus, je prends mon souffle pour la première fois depuis mon retour à Moncton, à la suite de mon voyage à travers le Canada. Quelques semaines passées à Montréal et la dernière à Toronto; le tout s'étant déroulé si rapidement, que j'ai peine à constater ce qui m'attend dans cette nouvelle aventure. Lorsque j'eu reçu l'offre d'emploi sur la route, au beau milieu de ma découverte de notre beau pays, j'ai accepté mon nouvel emploi en regardant l'offre à partir de mon téléphone, en ayant une idée générale du poste et de ses responsabilités. L'aventure me paraissait intéressante et j'y décidâmes sur le coup de l'accepter. L'argent, l'endroit, le titre importaient peu. Mon "gut feeling" me disant que c'était ...

"A good person..."

"You are a good person!" she told me today. This was my therapist at the end of our session together telling me that I was a good person. For some reason, it made me think all day, about what is a good person and how do you become or live your life as a good person. During our conversations together, she often referred to it. That I was a good person, that everything about me is true, that this is how I live my life. At least my new life. Not that I am not still part of the person that I used to be before, but I was not always true to myself before, not always making the decision based on what my life was telling me, but perhaps what I thought was the easiest road or the easiest choice. Most of the time not for myself, but to please others, or to be present for others. Also, those choices were often dictated by my fears. My fears of leaving my parents when I was younger, my fears of being rejected by others or my fear of not being enough.  When I think about it, I thi...

Magnificence and Beauty

I've wrapped up my trip across our beautiful country of Canada this past Friday, September 13, 2013. A lot of people would say it is probably a bad day to end a trip on, but the theories of bad luck surrounding that day doesn't bother me at all. I almost see it like a challenge. This trip has been a way for me to trace a line between a journey and a new adventure. Like most of you know, I lost my job with my previous employer about (2) months ago. I would understand that some people might see that type of experience as a failure, have feeling of rejections, thinking that you haven't done enough or perhaps your employer or boss or colleagues don't like you anymore. A friend and mentor of mine told me after the event had taken place, that perhaps, people that don't perform as well or are too comfortable will most likely never get fired or laid off. Perhaps because they are showing signs of loyalty, but maybe sometimes because they are not pushing the envelope enough...

Frienships and connections

It has been a few days since I have written anything, and perhaps it was all for the best, to give me time to test out a few things and to really see what the world and people are really about. Tonight I want to talk about meeting people. Because along this journey I have been meeting people. Not sure if it is because I am this lady travelling alone and people take pity on me, but I have meet the nicest people so far, minus one weird guy, who really should rethink his strategy when he wants to meet some women.  I think this is why we have the greatest country in the world. All started in Vancouver, when I was waiting on the patio line for the beach terrase at the Cactus Club Cafe. This fellow who was originally from Ireland, started talking to me, just out of pure kindness. Offered to take a picture of me, while him and his family were waiting for their table as well. He and them thought it was pretty cool that I was travelling by myself.  The next morning I was ...

Connections and Loneliness.

Tonight is the first night of my trip where I am on my own. As I was siting down for supper, enjoying  the great food and view, I was trying to figure out the emotions that I was feeling at the time. I find sometimes, it is really hard to figure out what your body really feels, really needs or what it is really going after. I was observing the crowd around me at the restaurant, and I could see I was probably the only person sitting alone. Not that it bothered me one bit, but it got me thinking of what is life really all about. Personally, I strive on meeting people, talking with them, exchanding ideas, knowledge, etc. I used to talk to people just to talk to them, but I have seen myself lately, choosing not to say anything, unless I really wanted to. I feel that I am looking for more than just a simple conversation about the weather, I am looking for something meaningfull, a connection. So as I was making my observations, I could see that some of the folks that were...
