Just a little note to let you know about an article I wrote for Canadian Living Magazine. It’s about vacations… not a bad subject to write on, is it?!

Full Article: Vacation Riches

When I work with my coaching clients, my goal is to help them experience real success. And success is not only career related, success is what happens when we feel fulfilled, when we feel grateful for our life.

When we take the time to just be, to enjoy what is around us and in us, we recharge ourselves. As you get older you realize that life is not a sprint but more like a marathon. And if you want to really ‘win the game of life’, you need to pace yourself and give yourself sustenance. Ideally we should not wait for only vacations to do that, we should make it part of our daily routine, but vacation bring different experiences that impact us. One thing I have observed over the years was that all the very successful people keep on learning and growing. And taking time to re-center ourselves, create clarity and help us refocus on what is really important for us, is a key ingredient to living a successful life. 

With that in mind, I will have the chance to go and spend 5 days in Arizona at Miraval spa with the people from the Transformational Leadership Council, I will therefore be away from the 27^th of July to the 1^st of August. I will come back to you charged up with more inspiration and energy.

I also have the opportunity to go spend time in the rainforest in Ecuador with the tribes of the Achua people on a experience organized by the Panchamama Alliance (http://www.pachamama.org/rainforest-journeys).

As Lynn Twist describes it, we are not going to the middle of nowhere, we are going to “The heart of everywhere”. As you can imagine by the name of our business, I could not resist such a description! I so look forward to this experience and hopefully I can bring back some of the wisdom that I will have the chance to encounter. I will be gone from the 19^th of August until the 5^th of September, it will be a special way for me to celebrate my birthday.
