By popular demand, I’m sharing with you some of my personal selection of “GOOD HUMOR / POSITIVE ENERGY” songs, which I hope will make you want to smile, sing along (even if you sing off-key!) and dance. I’ve noticed that certain melodies have a huge impact on my state of mind. When I’m not feeling […]
I usually organize a large public event where everyone is invited to join me in celebrating World Laughter Day by laughing together for an hour. But this year, since World Laughter Day coincides with my current Laughter Yoga Teacher Training in Canmore, Alberta, I’ll be laughing with a group in our majestic Rocky Mountains! I […]
The day I said that to myself, I decided to stop letting anger and impatience take over my life. Hell no! I didn’t want to live the rest of my life “with the baboon “*! Of course, I can’t avoid all the tricky and imperfect** situations that arise in my life, but I can decide […]

Almost all of us girls are familiar with this type of examination table… POUAH! and we’re not usually particularly happy about having to sit on it! Even less so when we know the exam is going to be painful. That was my case today. So, as a precaution, knowing that it wasn’t going to be […]
I tried an experiment a few days ago. March 20, to be precise. Why that day? Because it was International Day of Happiness. That morning, I posted a little message and this photo on my FB wall, challenging people to write a happy story using just 4 words. After just a few minutes, I’d already […]
