Breathe in...Breathe out...

The last two months have been nothing less than CRAZY.

I almost don't even know where to begin.

Breathe in...

Several weeks, particularly weekends, during the months of January and February, I was dedicating most of my time to running. I participated in 3 major races within a month's time - 1 marathon, 1 half marathon and 1 team event. As I approached the middle of February, I was beginning to look forward to my mid-term break, however, lots still had to be done at school with 2 major 'inspections' fast approaching. Luckily, I survived everything and made it out alive to the mid-term break.

Breathe out...

This year, for the break, my friends and I decided to head off to Africa - Tanzania (and Zanzibar) to be exact. I was incredibly excited to finally experience a little of what the African continent has to offer - safaris, small villages, beaches, good food... Overall, the trip was great! I got to spend time with some good friends and I got to do some fun game drives and see some incredible animals. Most importantly though, I was forced to relax and disconnet for a few days, which for me is never an easy thing.

Breathe in...

Since returning from vacation, the craziness has continued. Back to work, back to football, back to crossfit (to participate in the Open) and on top of all that I've been helping to plan one of my best friends bachelorette parties and I've been awaiting all the preparations for the big wedding day, which is in just 4 weeks time.

Breathe out...

As if all that has not been enough to keep me busy...I have also been anxiously anticipating a major life change...a big move to VIETNAM in just 5 MONTHS! Yes, that's right, I will soon be leaving Dubai to take on a new challenge, a new position and a new experience in another part of the World. Never in a million years did I ever think I would be moving to South East Asia, but the time has come for me to move on and to try something new. Am I nervous? Of course. Especially since I have a billion things to do over the next few months. With that said, I am so so so incredibly excited as well!



Quote of the day:
"Just breathe in, breathe out ... and remember that moving forward means taking it one step at a time."

*It was such a great pleasure for me to participate in the 100 days of positivity challenge between November and February. I really appreciated the support and the positive feedback I received from so many. Now, please stay tunned for my UAE themed Throwback Thursdays which will begin soon and which will expose some of my greatest moments living in this very unique country that I've called 'home' for the last 4.5 years.

In a World Full of Noise, Let’s Show Understanding

“Not everyone processes uncertainty the same way, and that’s okay.” The past few days have been unexpected. What started as a normal Saturday - coaching at the gym, breakfast with a friend, catching up on work with the TV on in the background - quickly changed when I heard a loud “boom” coming from outside my apartment. At first, many of us in the community assumed it came from one of the many nearby construction sites. But, within the next few hours, the loud sounds came again and again, and word spread that these were missiles and drones being intercepted in the sky. I’ve always felt safe here in the UAE, and believe it or not, to a certain extent, I still do. Like many other residents here, I have a lot of trust in the country I’ve chosen to call home for over 11 years. I’ve seen it overcome challenges in the past, such as COVID and floods, and I’ve witnessed how much the leadership cares for the residents, particularly over the last few days.  That said, it’s no secret that I a...

Living Out a Dream

 “Have you ever stopped and thought: “Wow. I prayed for this. It’s here. It’s happening.”? I recently received a message from an  old student from my very first school in Canada. It was a simple note, but it sparked reflection in me about where I’ve come from and everything that’s happened over the last 15–20 years. At my age, I often look around and see many of the people ( my age ) settling down; getting married, having kids, buying homes ( A dream for many, especially women. ). And sometimes, I can’t help but  ask myself: what am I doing with my life? However, that message from my former student reminded me of something I often forget: I’ve already been living a dream. When I left my first teaching job in Canada, it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. I absolutely loved my students, and together we had built a really special bond. But at that time, I had a dream to travel the world; to immerse myself in different cultures and to learn from people whose li...

Back on the Dubai running scene

  “The beauty of running is in its simplicity; just you, your breath, and the road ahead.” After a long hiatus, I finally made my return to the Dubai running race scene! When I first lived here between 2012 and 2017, I took part in many road races and absolutely loved the local running community. Even after moving to Vietnam, I kept the momentum going for a while, completing a few 10km, 21km and even a full marathon, especially in my first year there. But as I got more into CrossFit in 2018, running gradually took a back seat. Since then, I’ve continued to run, but without the same structure, purpose, or goals I once had. That all changed a couple of months ago when I decided to reignite my running spark and even joined a few run club sessions. I’ll be honest; those group runs have really pushed me out of my comfort zone! I’ve always loved a nice, long, slow run, but short and speedy intervals? Not so much. Still, being surrounded by people who share a similar mindset, who challeng...
