A 30-Day Challenge to Write and Meditate

How timely that this website was just launched yesterday. I am going to take this moment to maximise the momentum and the new “toy” syndrome I am feeling to push myself further.

What's lovely is that no one really knows about this website, which makes it easier to share my thoughts publicly.

At the moment, I've been in Montreal, Quebec since April 2. It's been about 9 months now since I left the Philippines. Wow, time flies.

I've just moved to a new neighborhood: Griffintown. A neighborhood full of young professionals and entrepreneurs. There are plenty of BIXIs and cafes which I love. Downtown is just a 10-minute walk away. I bike through the Old Port everyday on my way to dance class.

Just when I was already considering my next destination, I am starting to appreciate Montreal all the more. Biggest factor: Neighborhood. The more convenient and posh, the better. Ahh, the EU vibe.

On April 8, I had the chance to witness a once-in-a-lifetime event happening in the area ~ a total solar eclipse. It was magnificent. Surreal.

Was it part of my plans? Not exactly. I felt like moving on from Toronto, and here I am.

Another thing I am grateful for: I am a 5-minute walk away from my favourite cafe and co-working space, Le Petit Dep.

Given this calm environment and convenient location, I am confident in my evolution over the next 30 days.

I am ecstatic to focus solely on work, getting healthy, writing, YouTube, and dancing.

Have I mentioned they have legit afro-dance classes here? It's my number one reason for extending my stay. I must learn French too ~ I might be the only one who doesn't speak it, and I can't follow along when they explain the steps in detail.
