It’s a BEAUTIFUL day-ay-ay-ay

#BreakingFree2023

Thank you for sunshineThank you for rainThank you for joyThank you for pain

Night after night

Things didn’t feel quite right

Tears streamed down my face

My heart would start to race

My breathing was out of control

Anxiety began taking its’ toll

At times, I could see but black

I’d be having panic attacks

I was so incredibly tired

Yet I couldn’t get the sleep I desired

I’d sit up wondering “What’s wrong with me?”

“Why am I so unhappy?”

Negative thoughts regularly filled my head

As I tossed and turned in my bed

I tried to tell myself everything would be ok

But deep down I knew I couldn’t go on this way

Truth is, 12 months ago, I was depressed

And this needed to be adressed

I had so much to be grateful for

But for some reason I felt I needed more

For help one day I pleaded

As I realised it was needed

These gloomy feelings I could no longer ignore

The light in me I wanted to restore

For several months I went to therapy

I worked hard to find some sort of clarity

Inner work is a long process indeed

Yet undeniably important to succeed

Of course, sometimes, I still feel sad

However it’s nowhere as bad

I’m stronger now than ever before

A true fighter at my core

I knew the day would come for me to be thankful

For all those moments that were so painful

I’ve learned so much this last year

I can hold my head up high, even if the future seems unclear

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...
