Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on my life. I feel like I’ve been caught between two worlds: the one I’m currently in, and the one where change is waiting to happen. I’ve been struggling with the feeling of “now I have to set myself up for the next 20 years.” At times, it’s felt [...]
What a year! On May 28th 2023, Tom popped the questions during our weekend at Disney. Since then, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions and different events, making 2023-2024 one of the most challenging years. Sometimes I still feel like I can't believe 2024 is almost over and then other days I feel like I [...]

I can’t believe it’s been a year since the surgery for the endometriosis. Let’s be honest, I thought the surgery was the end of my problem and my pain. Little did I know that I was only entering the beginning of my physical and mental journey … again. I know I’m not cured, I know [...]
Was I in denial? Was I naive? Did my positive mindset help? Or was I just able to control my mind? I don't know. What I do know is, that from the moment I had the appointment with my surgeon, I was calm. I listened to what they were going to do. I listened to [...]
The title of this post is the first thing that came to mind when I got the news. Only I’m more the one to think that the body tends to reflect the state of the mind. It’s obviously not the case all the time, but I do think that the mind is powerful enough, and [...]
