This quote by Elizabeth Gilbert, in “Big Magic” says it all.
“This is one of the oldest and most generous tricks the universe plays on us human beings […]: The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”
Have you found your jewels?
“Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?”
These two questions are at the CORE of doing the WORK YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE.
… and at the core of what I do with my clients.
I help them answer these two questions with a resounding YES.
I help them find their hidden treasures and the courage to bring them worth into their work.
Because without that, you CANNOT do the work you absolutely love.
How much you love your work is directly correlated with how well you can answer these questions with a YES.
So, let me ask you again: can you answer these questions with a big YES?
If yes, congrats! This is fabulous.
If no and you want to say yes to them so that you can do the work that gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning. it will be my joy and honor to help you.

PS. Don’t spend another year or decade with your treasures hidden within you! The world is missing out. and your life is missing out too. Fill out this form and I’ll be in touch.
It is bringing me inner peace as I start 2020, a new year and a new decade of my life.
I recommend this practice if you want to start 2020 with more peace of mind, empowerment, and acceptance of where you are in your life.
It may sound confronting or heavy at first, but it is SO worth it. It really works!
Try it and let me know what you find out.
It is like when you look at your finances. It may be uncomfortable at first, and then it brings you peace of mind to know where you are at.
Here is what I did.
It took me about 2-3 hours of reflection/journaling.
I looked back at the 3 past decades of my life. – 2010-2019 – 2000-2009 – 1990-1999
For each decade, on one piece of paper, I listed the main themes in terms of achievements and personal/professional transformation and lessons learned (work, life, personal development, travels, and any themes that are personal and meaningful to me and to my own journey. Eg. Living my life purpose, becoming bilingual, discovering my passions, doing what I love).
Then, I noticed the overarching theme for each decade and the evolution from one decade to the next.
As a result of it:
I feel great as I got in touch in touch with how much I and my life have positively transformed and evolved in 3 decades, despite challenges along the way.
I notice the evolution decade after decade, and how what I did in each decade prepared me for the next. I can see that there is a natural progression and unfoldment that I could not see at the time. Seeds planted in one decade beautifully blossomed into the next.
I feel so much clarity about the past three decades of my life and what the themes have been.
This clarity empowers me as I enter a new year and decade of my life.
I feel at peace and more accepting of where I am in my life, trusting that things are unfolding for my best and highest good.
I know that I don’t have to do it all alone: I can see a bigger plan and higher power at play in the unfoldment of my life purpose that is with me on this journey. I can surrender to it, instead of pushing, efforting, and complaining about things not going MY way.
I want that for you too.
It is SO worth it.
TRY IT.

To you shining your light BRIGHT in 2020, doing what you love!
Seeing Notre-Dame de Paris on fire was like having a part of me torn apart.
It’s like a part of me was on fire.
I know it will pass and the cathedral will be restored to its glory, but the grief is real and I won’t bypass it.
This is deep. A part of my French history, my heritage, my roots, where I come from. It is heartbreaking.
In my twenties, on my way to work, I would walk on the parvis of Notre-Dame every day, smiling at her beauty each time.
My grandma grew up and lived in Paris until she retired. A part of her is with Notre-Dame too.
Notre-Dame is in the heart of each French person.
It had me reflect on the impermanence of life;the impermanence of things and people we cherish.
Things and people dear to our hearts come and go.
We come and go.
This life in this physical realm is impermanent.
My life is.
Your life is.
The places you want to explore may not be here anymore if you wait.
The people you love may leave before you have the chance to say what you want to say. You may get too old to do the things you want to do if you keep postponing them.
Have you been wanting to visit Paris and Notre-Dame for years and have been waiting and waiting?
Is there something you have always wanted to do and keep postponing it?
How long will you do that?
Are you waiting for “someday”?
or for the “right timing”?
Someday never comes.
There may never be a “right” timing neither.
…and it will be too late.
The place you want to see may be destroyed.
You may arrive at the end of your life without having pursued the work and life of your dreams.
So, what are you waiting for?
What is something you have always wanted to do and keep postponing it?
What step are you going to take TODAY to move towards it?
