I’ve the best boss ever! (Birthday pics inside)

I have the best boss ever! 😜

For my Birthday today, she rescheduled my clients’ sessions so that I could bask in the glory of my special day and treat myself. 

which means: 

  • Sleep in
  • Stay in my pj’s for how long as I want
  • Receive and bask in all the love from family and friends (video calls, texts, messages, Facebook messages)
  • Order a delicious French meal for lunch, delivered to my doorstep


This is an intense time of expansion in my business and in my life, and I’m grateful I got to rest and treat myself today. 

So that I can be rejuvenated to be of best service to my clients and to keep evolving and growing. 

I cannot serve well if my tank is empty. You cannot either. 

We serve and give the best when our tank is full. 

I love my boss and she loves me. 

Here she is! 😉 

Why am I sharing that with you?

So that you get reminded that treating yourself, self-care, and taking the time to receive are key elements of a fulfilled, happy, and successful career and life

especially in this ultra-productive and busy environment we live in.

Take the time to stop and take care of yourself. You deserve it. 

What are you going to do to treat yourself, or what are you already doing?

Let me know. I’d love to hear. Comment below.

With love,

Isabelle

I defied time and space to travel to France for my grandma’s funeral

I defied time and space to travel to France for my grandma’s funeral

On Thursday morning, at 7 am PT, I defied time, space, and visa and I traveled to France to honor my grandma’s memory at her funeral. (My dear grandma passed away last Sunday.)

I was there with her, with everyone. I saw her and I saw everyone. It was a very cold afternoon in France. Everyone was bundled up. A few snowflakes had fallen earlier in the day.

I spoke. I read a letter to her, to honor her memory so that everybody could hear how an amazing grandma and woman she was.

People heard me loud and clear. They were touched. I was there.
Oh, how wonderful to be able to be there from so far away. And talk to my grandma that way.

Thank you technology. I’m freakin’ grateful for you and for Emilie, the angel who made this possible for me.

Thank you FaceTime, thank you Bluetooth speaker.

You all made grieving from so far away more bearable.

Because of some Visa renewal in process, I cannot physically go to France right now. But I found a way to be there and it made such a difference!

Do you defy things to do what matters most to you? or to honor the people you love?
How creative are you when you are faced with things outside of your control?
or when you cannot do things the way you want?

There is always a way!

I found it.

I know you can find it too.

Repose en paix, chère mamie.

Je t’aime.

Isabelle
