Fifi's Muse

You try to put a finger on it but it proves somewhat, evasive it's that feeling that everything is there but nothing quite exists it's that blah, that dance between existence and non-existence not sadness but not joy not despair but not hope just somewhere in between on the way to a destination After the Blah comes the awakening, somewhere down the road, days become less about that feeling, and more about purpose, more about hope, more about meaning.

Janine shares an amazing story of her journey from being the victim of a horrible accident that left her paralyzed to being a pilot instructor. She beautifully presents the lessons she learnt. I'm glad a nurse played a crucial role in it. :)

I got to spend my vacation with one of my favorite people. I have found that spending time with someone you can be honest with and who can be honest with you really adds to personal growth. She said something to me that really stuck. We had a mix up during communication and she  said " its funny how we hear something someone does not say based on assumptions we already have in our head, it changes the way we interpret what is actually said." So true....

Cumbia Argentina I recently made a new friend from Argentina and learnt (or learned)  new dance steps. 2 steps right 2steps left 1 step right 1 step left mambo and voila' There you have it!.... Cumbia Argentina If you are looking for a good way to de-stress, dancing is one. You don't have to be at a party, just turn on music and dance like you won a lot of money at a lottery!!!

A total stranger struck up a conversation with me the other day, (i was in a uniform that arouses curiosity). He asked a few questions, we exchanged pleasantries and he said "keep up the good work! See it through, it's a poem... look it up." I'm glad I looked it up because it's pretty inspiring.  I'm saying the same thing to you. Whatever journey your on, keep moving, put one foot in front of the other , it may seem super slow sometimes but just keep it up and see it through!! Have a great day!! The poem is below See it Through When you're up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it's vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through! Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim, But don't let your nerve desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound ...

Ever become so tired because you are working hard at relaxing? Sounds contradictory, right? So you've had a long day and all you've been thinking about all day is how much you would really love to take a nap. Then you get home and decide that the best way to start off your "relaxation" is by watching a show on your t.v or laptop. The nap is postponed , the "rest" is ticked off your list but the next morning you wake up feeling sleep deprived and just plain tired ; ) Sound familiar? The nap would have worked so much better, right?
