Springing forward right into a good time !
For the last couple of years, I have attempted to be more intentional with my life and, whether you can understand that or not, that also means "planning for fun". So I'm making lists (what's fun without a good list 😬) every season of what I'd like to do for fun over...
March Madness, but not the ball kind
Since I discovered audiobooks, I'm insatiable. I have "read" so much while driving, while in the public transportation, while walking around... And the latest book I finished is called Letters to a Young Athlete, by former NBA player Chris Bosh. First, this explains...
Settling into the new year
Can you believe we're already in February ? The shortest month of the year ! And then, it's a straight line to Spring. I must confess, winter has rarely felt so long. I am glad I have a solid plan for the year and many things to look forward to in the next few month...
Let’s hear it for 2022 !
As part of my new years objectives (who's still speaking of "resolutions"), I thought it was about time I resumed talking to my English-speaking friends. I know, I have been adressing a French-speaking audience a lot lately, but it felt important to ground myself...
Stay away from these three poisons

The year of Less
As January is well advanced already, I realize that I missed many of my appointments with you. Starting with the 2019 review, which turned into a decade review (coming soon), finding my "word of the year" (for which I still have three very strong contenders), and...
Living with passion, yes you can!
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”Nelson Mandela Just a few days ago, I was sitting in a pub in Matamata, New Zealand, having a late lunch of something that only had the name of...
Life and death of a business project
When you are juggling a gazillion plus one projects at the same time, failure is not only bound to happen, it's a necessity. "Success takes a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck. And sometimes, your luck just runs out."Julia Elliott Brown, My business just...
Mid-year rear view
Early January, armed with the wise words of Leo Babauta and Gretchen Rubin, I devised a plan for 2019. I set my intention, this year, on the idea of Balance and I planned actionable items, divided into 12 categories from Vitality & Health to Business & Work,...
A mind-blowing penultimate WDS
Penultimate: "next to the last" (source: Merriam-Webster dictionary) 2020 will mark 10 years of WDS. 10 years of the gathering of some of the most amazing souls the universe has to offer, both on-stage and off-stage. After my second participation last year, where I...
