Story to tell....Veronique

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 n...

I have this image, of a new born, seeing the light and feeling the hold of a human being for  the first time, the breath of his mom and dad, feeling at home, where he belongs, on this beautiful planet, just like he needs to be. At that exact moment, he is perfect, a perfectly acceptable human being, the most beautiful moment of life, when love can create something so perfect, so natural. The universe creates new life everyday, in various forms. Animal, human, or else, life has this capability of creating amazingness. It doesn't matter how what we are born at in that precise moment, a career woman, an all star hockey player, a little goofy little boy or a child with certain limitations. In that precise moment, we are deemed perfect in the eyes of our parents and family. We are given the chance to be whatever we will happen to be. There is an openness from people when it comes to new born babies and children. I just look at my nephew, for example. When you look at him, see life t...

Catherine told me today at work, you are at the other spectrum of most of the engineers that I have known. I thought it was totally funny, so in order to comfort her, I'll start with some facts.  (3): the number of decades I have lived so far in my life. (3): the number of months I will have been working in my new job at GE Capital. 2013: A year that has been fulfilled with many adventures and challenges, new friendships, renewed ones, personal growth and more. As I enter a new decade, for the first time ever, I feel like I want to take some resolutions, not just for the upcoming year 2014, but for the next years of my life. To act, perhaps as a reminder of what I have learned over the last year or so, and help me, stay true to myself, and hopefully you might see something in this for you as well.  Stay true to myself: Easier said than done! It is truly when I act from the heart, following my soul and intuition, that I am at my best. And this, without judg...

As we are all entering December, every body seams to get into another gear. Trying to wrap up things at work, complete your objectives, so you can start the new year fresh, with a clean slate.  At the same time, we are juggling the expectations of the holidays. Family reunions, the gifts, gatherings, office parties, and more.  It's funny for the last few days, I got trapped in that cycle. Even at the grocery store, while I was trying to figure out what we needed to buy for our new apartment in Montreal. I caught myself thinking at the same time of what outfit I was going to wear at my office party, what gift I should by for a specific family member.  Same feeling at work, while we are all trying to "get things done", because the year end is coming and we need to catch up. In reality, is there ever a possibility that we will catch up, that one morning we might wake up and ask ourselves, "I don't know what do to today, I have nothing on my agenda." ...

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...

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...

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 ...
