Day 5: In three days it will be my 47th birthday. I have worked so hard to be in a place in my life where I embrace my body, my mind & my heart. I remember growing up being this dark little hairy, flat chested Mediterranean girl with lack of style, smelly lunches and zero friends in Montreal, feeling why couldnt I be a tall, fair skinned blonde girl with white bread sandwiches and boys chirping by my side. My mother my hero, taught me that it didnt matter what you look like, what clothes wore you, no money in the world can bring any person to be a better one nor a healthy one; that a woman with a skill or a trade and being independent and being comfortable in her own skin is the strongest and most beautiful thing a woman can do for herself, that when you speak you speak to be heard, that when you love you love wholly, that whatever you do you do with the utmost passion, that you always listen to your intuition, and that loyalty respect & truth falls closer to being an angel than anything, and that a man is as strong as the woman beside him and a woman is as confident as the man she is with, and at the end of the day no matter what, you follow your heart. Although I have wept a river missing them, I stand strong and today I celebrate my mother, for if it wasnt all those early-morning gymnastic clinics to groom my body and the brilliant interaction with family, school and endless piano study to hone my mind, and the beautiful food that my mom would create from her soul to mould my soul. I celebrate my 47 years to her and dad and to my honey for allowing me in these 29 years of being together to carry on the legacy of love, passion, food, body & soul, for I know you more than half my lifetime
