We just celebrated the shortest day of the year in the South hemisphere on June 21 "the winter solstice". It is a time to hibernate and look within. I recently was reflecting on Trust as I translated a book for a colleague Vanessa Hall from Entente. The simple model she developed is based on our Needs, our Expectations and the Promises we make to ourselves and to others. I realised that I was playing a way too small and I am so ready for bigger games! I promised to myself that it is time to take a giant step out and allow myself to expand and shine! The universe is testing me.  I teach people to connect and feel the joy in all the fibres of their being therefore I need to walk my talk hey!  So I invite you this winter to relect on what you need, what you expect of yourself and do you keep your promises can you keep?

Hey followers! I challenge you to join me to my new programme Gratitude cleansing adventure for 21 days. Your job is to find 21 things you are grateful for during 21 days in a row! Write them down. If your habit is to think and feel there is never enough or complaining about somebody or something, I am sure this new strategy will change it for the better! So I say thanks for my home, my car, my beautiful country, my healthy body, my business doing what I love, my 2 legs, my 2 eyes, my garden, my bed, my clients, my friends, my family, fresh water, light, sunshine, food in my fridge, money in my bank account, my computer, music, a smile from a stranger on the street, etc. Oups I forgot to say, find new things every single day!! Good luck have fun! Unique Anick

Yes it is raining heaps this April. April "fool" full of water. Rather than complaining we can focus on the "Joy" of staying cosy at home reading a good book the one taht has been sitting on the shelf for months, inviting friends you have not seen for weeks over for a dinner party, work on your personal or business projects which is my case I started to "cook" a book for you all! I got a recipe to increase the level of "Joy" that I would love to share with my followers! I am one of those people who had experienced a RICH life full of adventures, my latest as you know is that I went speaking on a cruise. I had the opportunity of meeting beautiful people from all over the world. I was amazed by the numbers of Filipinos and Indians working hard in the kitchen feeding us and cleaning our cabins. I was blown away by "where they choose to put their focus on all day long working 12-16h a day 7 days a week when their families are in their country and they send them all their salary, well they constantly SMILE and SING and do not complain. They are also so GRATEFUl, I gave a presentation to the crew on the ship and they were so thankful and appreciated the value of the information, energy, time and tools and techniques I was offering them. I felt really lucky to connect with these people and learnt so much from them! Practise with me check where your attention is NOW? Unique Anick

Every month something is going on. In March we celebrated 100 years of International Women Day. Let me share with you my BIG woman celebration this month. I am going to live a dream my friends. As some of you already know, I did not come from Canada to Australia the traditional way catching a flight, "you know I am Unique Anick " so I found an original and unique way to travel and cross the Pacific ocean from one extreme to the other. Yes I came sailing on the wild sea. You got it. This time around I am going to do what I was born to do "speaking and presenting on JOY" to an audience of 1500 people on a big cruise ship going from Brisbane to New-Zealand. Wow! How cool is that! I get incredible inspiration on water, we are made of it 80% of our human body is liquid. I am going to rock that boat! This gift really reminded me how powerful we are human beings when we are clear about what we want to experience in life where we want to go, in my case where I want to navigate! The answer is simple setting an intention and taking actions it is called manifesting in other words manifesting! Follow my adventures on Facebook, Linked in and Twitter. Unique Anick

Valentines month. Love, romance, relationships, be my valentine! How can we have colleagues, friends, a life partner, business partners that we love and get along with? Well let me share with you a big secret, we attract in our life what we are. Let me give you an example. When lazy people bother us at work, we judge them and they really push our buttons because they move too slow and they do do as much as we do in a day for what ever reasons... What truly bother us it is the judgment towards ourselves because we do not give ourselves permission to take a break, the judgement is stronger than really allowing ourselves to rest and enjoy it, feeling we deserve it and be present when we do take a break. Let me share another exampe with you. If people very structured, everything in their business and life seem to be in order, order bother me, because I can not get order in my own life, learn, resist persist. People are Mirrors they show us, reflect us back who we are. Practice this month to be more accepting of one another especially of yourself! When you do need a break take it and ENJOY it!

This year is going to be the best year of my life! What about yours? Yep! I made the decision to offer upbeat presentations that uplift, touch and inspire thousands of people. Conferences that connect you to your team and to with what truly matters, to create joyful moments in my life and in yours, to always look at the bright side of life and inspire you to do the same! I will teach you the "boogie woogie of life" (a new dance that makes you feel joyous), I will assist you in giving a "heart beat" to your plans and vision, I will share with you the secrets of following your gut feelings, what I named your "internal GPS" we all have one known as our intuition in any situations in life and at work! How's that sound? For a upbeat start the year, come to my workshop and create your Dreamboard & Alchemy Box 2011. See all details on the brochure on the welcome page on my website.

Christmas is a funny time don`t you think? We all feel like we all have to race like maniacs completing the uncomplete, catching up with every body, spending a fortune in stuff... over drinking, over eating, over everything... pretending we are excited when sometimes we are exhausted. After a moment of silence this morning looking at the magnificient tree through the window sitting on my loundge, I felt strongly inspired and I made a commitment to myself, that pretending is not an option anymore, I am choosing to end my year and start the new by practising being myself and speaking my truth yep being me being free being happy no more following the sheep, lets get real. It won`t be easy but I am sure that it will feel light and much more empowering. If Oprah Winfrey after being raped as a child and after all the challenges she has been through in her life and she became the icone that we all know, I am sure I can do it and you can too. Are you up for the challenge? What you need a massive cup of courage, a great deal of listening, an immense heart desire to be free and to be you! 
Merry Christmas Unique Anick

In Europe and North America where I am originally from, we celebrate Halloween. It is a huge and popular event for children and for adults as well. We put a mask on and a costume and become who ever we choose to, you can be a ghost, a pop singer, a witch, a pirate, a clown what ever you fancy! In life, I also notice that we wear a mask and rarely dare being real. I had a conversation with a colleague recently about "being authentic". I was wondering "Why don`t we express the truth on what we really think and how we really feel?" Why do we hide ourselves trying to be a people pleaser saying yes when we really want to say no or going to some meetings or events when you do not feel like going at all you`d rather stay quiet at home or doing ac activity you really enjoy. What do we gain in spending energy trying to hide and wear a mask? Why not simply expressing our truth. Are we scared of being rejected, feeling ridiculous, not belonging, being different, weard, judged, excluded... The list goes on and on... We are trained to follow others rather than following our hearts, follwing our true nature, following what is right for us. Lets practice being authentic together, put the mask aside and just try to be honest with yourself this week.

  Easter, time for renewal. Are you stressed? Need a break? Let's have some chocolates hey! Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves? Performing, running after our tails! Chasing something or somebody, always wanting more, more, and more. We love to look busy, to feel important, to burn ourselves out, to start again at the begin of the cycle of the wanting more, more, more, running after our tails, get a bigger house, a bigger car, a higher position until we explode, until we realise what is that all about? Is our health worth this entire circus, for what at the end of the day? We forget to enjoy the ride and have fun along the way. It took me while to realise that and I am still learning like all of us every day. Our closet is FULL of stuff, our desk is FULL of documents, our head is FULL of thinking about our TO DO list, and our tummy is FULL of food. Let's have a break, have some fun and not be FOOL! Invite me to speak at your organisation and I will share with you a few ingredients and receipes to feel full of what we need to enjoy the journey!! Unique Anick
