To work or to watch the soccer game? That is the question.

Today in downtown Montreal, people everywhere have left their desks to find a television in order to see the soccer game. And those who are at their desks are probably watching it online. We’re talking about all the men of course…
This is a picture taken at the Ville Marie food court during this afternoon.

Today, Here, Now: June 16, 2014

Sometimes my fingers and knees quiver in the middle of the day from overwhelming electric excitement I feel. I’m not sure how to explain in but I’ve trained myself to be in the moment, really and truly in the moment. It’s easier said than done, but with about a year of constant practice, I sometimes find myself effortlessly in a timeless space. Right here, right now, with not one regret about the past and not one worry about the future. It’s true bliss, and it is here that everything is possible. This energy is what we are made of and what we are made for. It feels so right and so true. I know that this is what we are supposed to be because I see the effects it has on my body, my mind, my heart, my all. I see how feeling this happy and this excited about life’s every moment places everything in a perfect harmonious alignment for me.

When I am happy and complete, I have the power to make my loved ones happy and complete.

As a mother, I feel that I owe it to my children to find out how to be a better person, to apply it and to become it, in order to teach it to them and give my life a purpose.

This is how I feel today; on a journey of self-discovery and self-growth. It doesn’t really matter where it will lead me, because it has already led me here.

I feel torn between taking the time to express it and actually being it.

That last statement is a very profound one for me and might need a post of its own.

Just a regular Saturday night thought.

Perhaps the time has come for me to start speaking from my heart. So much to say, so much to explain, but how to find the words? How to find the words to describe something that is undefinable. How to use man made words to describe what man is made of.

I’m going to try but perhaps it will lose some of its highness while translated into words. If you are reading this, try to maintain an open mind. In the end, if you truly understand the concepts explained and if you can bring yourself to this dimension of thought, beyond the shadow of a doubt, all of your desires will be granted.

Here we will speak of things beyond man and his material world. We are going to talk about the source of man, the source of life. Let’s agree from the start on what to call it. Some call it energy; others call it spirit, but most call it God.

Let’s start with God. What is God? Well to start off it’s a three letter word. I don’t think anyone can disagree till now. Then if said, it becomes a sound. Waves traveling in the air, just like any sound, waves of energy in the form of vibrations.

What is matter?

A chair, a table, my face… all essentially made from the same elements, Atoms, neurons and electrons in movement. It is that movement and the frequency of that vibration that makes these three tangible.

The only difference between sound and tangible matter is the vibrational frequency they’re on. Even our thoughts consist of the same thing, but differ from sound and tangible matter by having their own vibrational frequency. Basically, from the chair, to the sound of a squeaky chair, to what you think of the chair…it’s all the same.

Your thoughts exist, just as the chair does.

In order for your thoughts to become tangible, all we need is a shift in the energy controlling the frequency of the vibrations. Good thing this process is not instant, or else every thought that passed our minds would manifest itself into a tangible reality.

So how can one transform their thought, into reality?

Sure I have my theories, but today is June 14,2014 and I’m still in the process of understanding it all.

So tonight will be the 5th episode.

Do I know what I’m doing? Not really.

Am I learning ? Yes, A lot.

Am I having fun? Definitely.

Sometimes you just have to do things in life, just to do them, not necessarily knowing exactly why. The reason will come later.

Think less, feel more.

Talk less, do more.

Yesterday was my birthday

I’m sitting out on my balcony sitting between The moon and Smoky the Frog. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry , I’ll post pictures soon.
I’m out here thinking that I haven’t had a chance to blog lately. The last one was a quickie and before that they we’re unfinished . Less than unfinished, more like unbegun. That’s not an English word yet. I know that my English is far from perfect, but I would’ve never thought that writing would be this therapeutic for me. Sometimes I wonder how it would feel to allow myself to blog in French. After all I have more ease speaking French. So tonight I’m gona try to blog in French for the first time ever.
Here goes.
You ready?
I’m nervous.

Team Rita @ the 2014 Marcheton

 

This year, we joined the 2014 Marcheton, an event organized by the Laval and Montreal H.O.M chapters. It was a successful event, a community gathered together to support each other and unite in the fight towards cancer. Spirits were high, smiles were on and the sun was shining. Truly a beautiful day.

I made a little video to catch the ambiance of the day and hopefully inspire you to join us next year.

Full sink and instant noodles. A real Sunday night.

It’s past midnight, kids are asleep and Jack’s eating instant noodles because I wouldn’t make him anything to eat.
It was 11:59 when he complained about being hungry and I wouldn’t make anything for him. It’s midnight! I’m tired! I work tomorrow ! So I told him : “You’re hungry? Go to your mom’s”. He usually comes To find me around 10 pm for a snack. Sometimes I’ll have friends over and we’ll count down to 10 pm: 9:58, 9:59, 10! And he usually shows up right on time, But today he missed his 10 pm slot, he was too busy watching the Chicago vs L.A game. Now that the game Is over he’s listening to every sports podcast available on the internet.
The sink is full, there are toys everywhere and now that Jack was in the kitchen, all the kitchen cabinet doors are open. I’m not stressing over all of this, I’ll get to it when I get a chance. What counts is that the kids have clean clothes for tomorrow and we’ll take the rest from there. The only way to make the most out of this life is to be in the moment. And in this moment my husband keeps glancing at me, I think he’s waiting for me to put my phone down.
Ill be a good wife and give him some attention. I owe him that much.
Goodnight.

Dreams: It is by chasing them that we will catch them.

You create your own reality.
The hard part is figuring out what exactly it is that you want. Sometimes I feel that believing in destiny is taking the easy way out by hoping that someone else has figured it all out on my behalf. Take the time to dig deep and realize what your true potential is, what you would be the happiest doing. Once you’ve figured it out you’ll shortly realize that it’s already in your path.
Then again, if you’re not totally sure , or even better torn between a few dreams, make sure to still take the necessary steps towards them. One step is all you need to create a momentum. One thing will lead to another and sometimes, these actions will guid you through a new path where you just might discover a new dream or desire. It is by chasing dreams that we catch them. Dreams might change, and if you want a chance at any of them you have to include them in your actions.
Start with one step.
One action.
You don’t need any believers, you only need you.

yes, earth, human, woman, married, kids, night, bra still on, so uncomfortable, what time is it?

It’s a quarter to two am and my bladder just woke me up. I’ve always had a low capacity bladder and those who have taken road trips with me know that . I woke up and realized that I had just passed out in my bed fully dressed. Well, half dressed, my pants are on the floor , seams like I managed to get those off before falling flat into my bed into a comatose sleep.
I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but when I wake up I’m usually stuck in a dazed mode for a good 30 seconds. That’s 30 seconds of wondering where I am, what part of the day it is, and sometimes even who I am. Then I progressively relocate myself in space and time…” Oh yes, earth, human, woman, married, kids, night, bra still on, so uncomfortable, what time is it? ” This is the exact thought process I go through in the first 30 seconds of my wake. Then of course ” where the heck is Jack?”. I pass out after putting the kids to bed and Jack sees that as a perfect opportunity for some alone time with his second love , his big screen TV. Sometimes I imagine him running downstairs to his tv only to tell her ” she’s finally asleep, we can be together at last”.
It happens often that I wake up this way, half dressed, hair still in a pony tail, makeup still on, dazed and confused at 2 or 3 am and sometimes I go to looking for him. I find him in front of the TV with an almost empty bag of sunflower seeds and a pile of seed shells. Of course he’s fully set up with the laptop on a sports website, the TV leaping between three sport shows, and the smart phone set on the hockey pool details.
And at this time my dilemma on this end is, should I go back to bed or go see what he’s up to?
Now I can hear my mother in law’s voice in my head “Go sit with him for a bit! Keep my son happy!” she does say that. The other day she calls me up in a middle of a hockey game.
“what are you doing?”
– ” I’m working.”
– ” Jack’s watching the game by himself? Go sit with him! Keep my son happy” she says.
So after I hung up, I did as she said, grabbed all my stuff and went downstairs. She’s right, I figured, it’s the playoffs, while others are watching the game with their buddies with a beer in their hand, Poor Jack, father of three, had to put three kids to bed and turn that Frozen movie DVD off before he could watch his game.
So I gather my things and think ” I’ll do my work next to him, she’s right.” I go downstairs, settle down, obviously no eye contact on his part, he was fully into the game, I could’ve choked and he wouldn’t have realized and I know that well because it’s happened before and that wasn’t even a during the playoff season. So that means that now , during a Habs vs Bruins second round Playoff game, I could walk in literally caught on fire with raging flames and he wouldn’t have noticed.
So I sat down next to him, and in the moment that my butt touched that yogurt, milk and marker stained sofa, the bruins score!
I hold my breath waiting for his reaction.
” You had to come down! You jinxed it!”
Now this is love.
So it’s 2 am now, and since there’s nothing I can jinx at this time I’m going to go see what he’s up to.
Actually, he just came up.
He’s probably going to ask his famous question.
” Who you texting?”
