Life Is Like A Cup of Coffee - Inspirational Video Movie

Let's start the New Year with Positive Thinking

Life is short. If you are stressed or worried, if you eat unhealthy or if you focus on negative stuff. Your life will be even shorter.


Your troubles of today are only temporary, look for the silver lining. If you look hard enough, you will find the silver lining and it will make all the difference in how you perceive your situation and how you feel.

When things are good in your life, they will seldom become great. We rarely make changes when things are good. Only when we hit rock-bottom, are we forced to make changes… and that will lead you to greatness. So, if you have hit rock-bottom, hold on to your socks and start celebrating because your greatest life is right around the corner!

Stop staring at the closed doors (the negative stuff). Search for all the open doors (opportunities) all around you. When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.

You are perfect, regardless of what you have been told, what people think, or how people treat you, you are perfect just the way you are.


The only opinion that counts is the opinion you have of yourself. No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.

You already have all the answers - they are just lost in the mental fog. Clear your mind of all clutter and negative chatter. Meditate, exercise and take time for yourself to reflect.

Don’t follow the crowd. It will only take you places where others want to go. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!

Today is tomorrow, so stop procrastinating. Get out there and start living your greatest life. Be different, be bold, be loving and always follow your heart.

Be conscious of what you are feeding your mind. If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.

It's Christmas Time Again!

Put your problems on probation

Run your troubles off the track,

Throw your worries out the window

Get the monkeys off your back.

Silence all your inner critics

With your conscience make amends,

And allow yourself some happiness

It's Christmas time again!

Call a truce with those who bother you

Let all the fighting cease,

Give your differences a breather

And declare a time of peace,

Don't let angry feelings taint

The precious time you have to spend,

And allow yourself some happiness

It's Christmas time again!

Like some cool refreshing water

Or a gentle summer breeze,

Like a fresh bouquet of flowers

Or the smell of autumn leaves,

It's a banquet for the spirit

Filled with family, food and friends,

So allow yourself some happiness

It's Christmas time again!

Make Change a Positive Part of Your Life

You must avoid breaking when things don't go your way.
You'll always be secure to the degree that you accept change.
True security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.
Recognize and accept that change will inevitably take place.
You'll become secure, not by standing still, but by growing, moving, and staying energized.
Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with anything that happens to you.
Have the courage to bet on your ideas.
Take some calculated risks and act on your dreams.
There is no permanent security on this earth, there is only opportunity.

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." ~Will Rogers

Until We Meet Again

Having to say goodbye is so hard to do, instead I prefer to say "until we meet again"

Last week my friend Angela and her family moved back to her hometown in Winnipeg. For the past 7 years they lived in Quebec and we became very good friends. We played ball, hockey and volleyball together. We traveled to numerous tournaments with our family and we shared many meals and stories.

My friends and I organized a special evening to let them know how much we appreciate them and to underline the difference they made in our lives. We also wanted them to be aware that in Quebec they will always have friends to come home to.

I wrote a poem entitled "Until We Meet Again" especially for Angela and her family. I would like to share it with you... so here it goes.

Until We Meet Again

The hardest part of any friendship
is when it’s time to say goodbye.
And even though I wish you’d stay
I believe everything happens for a reason.


For life is a journey that needs to be travelled
and I am certain you'll make it through.
I want you to know and never forget
that I will surely miss you my friend.

So follow your heart and never give up
as dreams and wishes do come true.
For I know that someday we'll meet again,
most likely on the ice or at the park.

Angela, Brad, Danielle and Gabe,
Here in Quebec you’ve made many friends
It is your home away from home
It is also where you’ll find the best poutine

When the moment comes we’ll laugh again
We’ll share a meal and memories,
Have a few drinks while getting up to date
And be grateful for this special reunion.

Angela, I wish you and your family well
Until we meet again.

Your friend Chantal
