I know it’s cliche, but wow, what a difference a year makes. I’m back in Canada and this year I arrived feeling positive, energized, happy and sure of my decisions. I even celebrated with a glass of champagne on the flight from Paris to Toronto (ok, so I usually do on Air France flights).
You see last year I fell in to a dark hole. I arrived in Canada for the summer after a difficult couple of months in Marrakech. So difficult in fact I didn’t know if I would return to Morocco. And if I did, how long I would stay. The stress was taking its toll on my health. I was feeling unappreciated and defeated in my career. My self-confidence had dropped to all-time lows. I was ready for a change, but I just didn’t know what to do.
But thankfully I got through it. Going to Turkey helped, time alone to explore my interests and reflect on where I wanted to be. But I also realized that sometimes we need to rid ourselves of certain people, the type of people that you give and give to, but it’s never enough! So I did that. I started to spend time by myself, just me, because no matter how busy life gets, this is absolutely vital. And something I now look forward to my time to restore myself. I invest in little things to make myself happy, feel good about myself, which happen to be two of the things I love the most: travel and fashion. In a city I just cannot seem to leave.
I honestly couldn’t be happier.
So while it has been a little quiet on the blog, I have been busy working on client work. You see, with all the changes, I decided to launch my own company: Say Something Communications, offering strategic communications consulting (social media, media relations, marketing, online communications, copyrighting, event management) and writing services to travel and lifestyle clients.
But it doesn’t stop there. I have more ideas I’m working on. From the best office location in Canada, the “cottage” in rural Ontario.
