Being human is something very complex. No matter how old we are, we still find it hard to comprehend the mysteries of life. For instance, why we are here in this world and why sometimes certain things happen. Sometimes, our world gets up side down, literally, and we need to work towards finding true comfort. Today, more than ever, we need to reinvent ways to find solace.
Your Daily Dose of Comforting Quotes
“Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.” ― Bill Watterson (Goodreads)
In the blink of an eye, the fate of the world has changed. It feels like waking up from a dream to only find yourself in a science fiction movie. Suddenly, here you are navigating a parallel universe called COVID-19.
In this strange universe, friends do not visit each other. Neighbours do not greet each other. Terms such as birthday parties, sleep overs, music concerts or sports game events do not exist in any encyclopedia.
Anxiety seems to be the widespread state of every person in this universe. It’s like a horror movie, and it’s thrilling and full of adrenaline. As an incomprehensible war is raging on, people are getting sick and are dying. And, your only wish is for this movie to be over. At some point, you start finding it too long. However, no remote control can put an end to it because this our new reality.
We are living in difficult times, but we do have something to be grateful for. Let’s hold on to that!
This is not a dream nor a movie. Therefore, as human beings we have to adapt to this new world of ours.
Working together towards finding true comfort
Better days are ahead!
In the meantime, we have to be patient. As we have to stay home and/or adopt new measures to protect one another, we have a chance to realize what really matters and everything we have to be grateful for. It may not be the same thing for everyone, but each and everyone of us has something or someone to be grateful for: family, friendship, love, a job, a roof over our head or simply being healthy.
We are living in difficult times, but we do have something to be grateful for. Let’s hold on to that!

I had the chance to attend two Native gatherings in Montreal, Quebec, and in Ottawa, Ontario. Both times, I felt a surge of emotions since guests were taken on the path of aboriginal history.
The Montreal workshop provided the audience with an insightful window into indigenous life in Canada. We learned about their struggle, their pride, their courage, and their pledge for ultimate peace.

We also tasted delicious indigenous dishes and admired captivating pieces of native arts.
The Ottawa’s gathering was an intense workshop with role plays that took every participant to relive an indigenous personal experience through time in the Canadian landscape.
They say seeing in believing. I’d say feeling is believing to a greater extent, feeling is understanding. I think it is from such beliefs that this indigenous group invites Canadians of all backgrounds to participate in an exercise to walk a mile in an indigenous person’s shoes.
Through emotional role plays, participants learned about Native history in Canada. After the story was unfolded, we got to touch the feather of peace and was able to feel this deep human connection. There was a call to stop fighting one another, to forgive, and instead to start building together. One thing I learned during these meetings was the importance of learning and acknowledging the truth because this will free your soul. You will then be free to forgive, to understand, and accept others. You will be free to love, freed of fear.

On top of it, it remains a fun movie for the whole family. on our story
