Blogs-Bloggers-Blogging
Wow! I just came back from a two days Conference on Blogging called BlogU 2014 and of course, I realized I am NOT a real Blogger. Yes, I have a Blog (you are looking at it and maybe reading it) and yes, I like or may I say I LOVE to share my discoveries and all the good stuff I find out there. My big downfall is that I am not consistent. I do not write every day or every week or even every month. I write when I feel I have something important to say, something that will perhaps make a difference in your day and perhaps inspire you to step up to your own writing calling or more. You see you do not need to be a professional writer to be a successful popular blogger. You just need to be funny (or NOT), real (definitely) and be prepared to share a lot of your everyday life moments. People from around the world are looking for people to connect with. You can Blog about cooking recipes, parenting issues with solutions or not, dating and it’s challenges, your cat, your dog or your farm. You can Blog about anything you want and love and will without any doubts find someone out there to truly connect with you. After all, we are all one. So why would’t...

Read MoreChoose to Live in Conscious Awareness
Really! From the moment you decide to live your life in conscious awareness, you will realize that there is no other way to live. Conscious Awareness is the willingness to be awake. It is the decision to be present in each and every moment. It is about living the power of the moment, the power of now. It is not about the busyness of your mind. It is about the emptiness of it. True emptiness brings clarity. Are you aware of your thoughts? Are you attentive to where your thoughts are coming from? Do you even question them, or do you let them dictate you? This is great time of the year to start living your life consciously, not seriously…simply consciously. Start today. Become the witness of every thought you have, every action you take, every emotion you express and feel the lightness. There is no judgment only witnessing. The next step will be to act upon this new awareness instead of reacting from...
Read MoreVulnerability around the Holidays!
Where will you be for the Holidays in ten, twenty or thirty years from now? Will you still be surrounded by your family and friends? Or will you find yourself isolated in a residence where old age has no rights, no say, no more sparks, according to the residence owners and directors? Back in April 2010, my mom’s husband decided that it was time to move into a residence. He sold the house while my mother was with me in Arizona. She had no say on what she wanted. In April 2012, he throw her out of their apartment at the residence claiming that he could not take care of her anymore. He is thirteen years younger than her and, she has more sparks and more energy than he has. You can imagine what kind of year was 2012. Nasty separation with a spiteful man. Never thought it would happen to my mom at her age. She had had her own share of challenges throughout her life and now this. She now has been living on her own at the residence since June 2012. She is managing. She has some highs and some lows, like each one of us. But what I would like to talk about are the conditions that all those elderly people live in. Let’s just talk about food! My mom has her own little fridge, toaster, coffee machine, etc….but when she has to rush down for lunch, often what awaits her is a baloney sandwich with a small bowl of soup. For dinner, only 4.5 hours later, she might get an omelet or a grilled cheese. My mother is diabetic. Is that the kind of nourishment they need? My mother grew up “hungry”. Not enough food to feed the thirteen kids. Does she really need that today? I say NO. When I ask her, ¨why don’t you say something? ¨ She says ¨no, no, no. If I say something maybe they won’t give me a second bowl of soup tomorrow. Please don’t say anything.¨ And there she goes living in fear of not having enough …once again. And they all live in that fear. My upcoming book is all about caregiving and care receiving. I will have many similar stories to share with you and more. I intend to expose the truth of what is really going on in those elderly residence. So stay tuned. In the meantime, if you would like me to interview you, or a family member or friend, for my book, please don’t hesitate to reach out. The holidays are just around the corner, and many of us might feel the Christmas Blues. I am going to make sure that my sweet mother doesn’t. Stan & I are going to pick her up on the 23rd December and take her with us to a cottage we rented in the Laurentians, Quebec. On the morning of the 24th , we put the turkey in the oven then take my mom to the spa for some pampering! Back by 3:00pm, sit by the fire and wait for the rest of my family to arrive. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable around the holidays can transform someone’s life, including yours. A clip of my mom dancing July 13, 2013 IMG_0651 . And this is after spending 4 long hours at the hospital, because she caught her thumb in the car door. Ouch! yes. Nail gone and broken thumb. She is a trooper. Love you...
Read MoreVulnerability is your door to Freedom
Some of you might think that what I meant to say is: ¨You are only vulnerable when you are in fear¨ But I did not. Think about it. ¨You are only invulnerable when you are in fear¨ Be with the moments where you pretended to be invulnerable. Weren’t you in fear of something or someone? Of course. Now, be with the moments where you allowed yourself to be vulnerable. Weren’t you with someone your trusted, someone that really cared about you? Of course. It is time to give the word Vulnerability, it’s true definition and teach others to do the same, so together we can have and make a big difference in each others life.

Read MoreIt’s all about Intimacy…
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Over and over, you hear me say that Vulnerability is an openness, a sensitivity, a willingness to be you in Authenticity. Robert Augustus, author of Emotional Intimacy, says: “Without vulnerability, we maroon ourselves from our emotional riches and depths and when that happens we block ourselves from authentic connection with others” In my book soar with Vulnerability I also say: “…having the ability to show our true sides at all times, invites others to do the same in a very comfortable and trusting manner” Therefore creating real connection. So why not start now. Dare be open to one new person today and feel how great it...
