Nature is not surrounding us, it's part of us
The fact that we are intimately connected with nature and our environment seems to be an evidence but most of us only consider this relationship from an intellectual point of view. We’re so absorbed in our lives that we don’t pay attention to nature and our environment anymore.
Nature is not just “something” surrounding us, it’s part of us, and we’re part of nature. Read more…

Watch the journey scenery
This Easter weekend has been an opportunity to slow down my life and enjoy precious moments with my family. I cherish these moments where I just “am” and spontaneously do what I feel like doing. Life appears to regain its meaningfulness and my sense of connectedness arises. It reminds me this quote from Eddie Cantor:
“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”

Earth Hour is tomorrow. Just switch your lights off and make a stand against climate change.
This simple action is the motto for the WWF campaign that is celebrated every year since 2007. However, behind this brave and collective engagement, what is our personal commitment with regard to climate change?

This is another sunny day, spring arises and nature is singing. Spring’s light transforms the present moment and makes it more vivid. And today, for no apparent reasons, I feel really grateful for what I am, and what I have. This is a vibrant emotion that I cannot explain, but It makes me feel alive. This is the magic of being.

International Women’s Day is an occasion for me to praise the talents, courage and achievements of all the women that I met in my life, and the ones around the globe who inspire me for the same reasons.
Behind International Women’s Day celebration, I want to affirm my belief that every human being, whatever its gender is a part of myself. Read more…

When I was at school, I studied German. At this time, my homework involved reading and understanding German books and studying vocabulary. As I was struggling with the German language, the simple idea of reading famous authors was an abomination for me. This is how school goes, you have to…
One of these German authors was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; this guy was a real encyclopedia, he wrote about science, music, philosophy and everything you can imagine. If my German teacher had told me that Goethe could teach me the secrets of success, I would have probably made the effort to overcome my German phobias. Today I want to share an enlightening quote from Goethe, that I just received by e-mail.
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.’
- Goethe

Five years ago I realized that I had resisted to live the life “I was born to live”. I was living a consensual life that was meaningful to society, my friends and family. Although I was successful, I was not happy. So I decided to quit my job and build a life that would be meaningful to me. I spent countless hours defining my passions and my “life plans”. I was struggling with the idea to be self-employed and my believes about financial security.
I do not regret my choice and never look back. Read more…

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You - Dr. Seuss
Few days ago I joined a blog community on the Internet without expecting too much, as I’m not a social 2.0 freak. I spent some time to read several blogs and people’profiles… Man what an experience! I realized how much beauty, authenticity, emotions and colors were hidden behind these words, sentences and could only come to the conclusion that there are a lot of talents and beautiful people in this World.
These Ah-Ha moments are sensational as they make me realize that we all have talents, unique personalities, and perspectives.
This uniqueness is a gift. We may be struggling to see the truth while experiencing self-doubts and crisis in our lives, but when we realize the treasure behind our uniqueness and accept it, we can write our own story on a blank page and take responsibility for it. We are finally free to accept ourselves as we are and enjoy each moment of our life.
As we entertain this awareness, we develop tolerance for other ideas, perspectives and people, and we are able to enrich our experiences.
Yes we are a beautiful people!
