Hi Ladies,

I just finished a Ballet Body class at the gym, and it felt great. I have barely gone to the gym in the past 6 weeks as I’ve been working day and night on my business book. It’s been exhausting but very rewarding.

I wanted to keep you up to date on a few things, as you, my readers should always be the first to know.

Firstly, I wanna give a shout out to Brooke Burke of ModernMom.com for loving the concept of The Bucket List, and spreading it with her readers. I love ModernMom.com (and my husband LOVES Brooke) and it’s great to be Blogging over there with such a great group. I told Brooke she is like my soul sister and we are alike in many ways. Please read Brooke’s Bucket List. I encourage you to make your own Bucket List, and post them right here! Do it! It’s a great way to get off the fence in your life and finally delve into something you’ve wanted to do for so long. It’s also fun to dream.

You will notice over the next week or so, a new revamped look for the site. I was fortunate enough to be approached by one of the world’s largest media companies, Glam Media, to place advertisements on my Blog. The ads on the Blog will be from some of the world’s largest and best company’s targeted towards women of course, and not junk ads. It’s very exciting. Articles will also be a lot easier to find now, and a few things that bother me about the site, (like the tiny font and other stuff) will be fixed. Stay tuned. I will NEED YOUR FEEDBACK. You are my readers, so your thoughts are THE most important thing to me.

Unlocking Your Passion

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Have you ever had a burning desire to do something, but never got off the fence to do it? Do you have an artistic talent that’s been hidden for too long? Do you love to cook to the point where you’ve contemplated going to culinary school? Did you every wanna be the next American idol? Seriously! Today’s Blog post came to me last night when I got home from Dancing With The Stars. Yes, in Montreal, we put on our very own version each year of Dancing With The Stars, a fundraiser to benefit the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Women and men in our community are paired with professional dancers and compete in a competition just as on TV. Jean-Marc Généreux, one of the judges from So You Think You can Dance acted as one of the judges last night. It was great fun.

And during one of the dances, I looked at my girlfriend and said, I think I would love to dance again. I was a  ballet dancer for 18 years, and even taught young girls. I was quite good, but gave it up at eighteen for school, boys and partying– all age appropriate behavior, I guess. But really, when I was watching the dancers, I could really see the passion. They enjoyed it. I found it refreshing. And it made me think of why I started this Blog in the first place. I feel like I have finally unlocked my passion. It feels incredible.
