Hey! I’m Alexa.

I’m 40 years old and I was born in Montreal, Canada.

My father was born in Haiti and my mother in Quebec.

Raised by my mother, my family moved quite frequently.

For as long as I can remember, I remember noticing my mind’s obnoxious and busy chatter. My self doubts and my mind’s continual chatter kept me very aware of my headspace. 

Always, this inner voice that tells me this or —-  that.

It doubts everything around me. It has a problem with almost everything.

Growing up, not many people discussed this inner flow of thoughts. I didn’t know if  everyone was experiencing  this presence, nor if these ideas necessarily identified me or even how to manage them.

I often felt completely restless; overwhelmed by these whispered speculations.

When I was 17, I moved out independently and completed college. After my University studies, I hosted a radio program and I worked for a cinematographic company.

On a beautiful fall day, I survived a huge accident and I was severely injured. I spent months in the hospital.

This period was detrimental for me.

I was physically damaged and quite limited. Everyday, I dwelled my losses and continually; I was angry and worried.

I felt greatly discouraged by the present. 

My “in- box” was dark and heavy. 

Eventually ;I began to look for some answers, yearning for some light and peace.

A friend suggested a book. I had time and not much to do.

I purchased it; devoured it and afterwards: I caught a hunger.

I began to read. Thoroughly. One book after the next, hundreds.

I learned new practices, new beliefs and these learnings; profoundly changed my life.

I believe in kindness and awareness.

Since 2013, I’ve been writing professionally for newspapers, magazines and providing translation work.

I created this blog site to share, entertain and write—- on my terms.

Take a breather from your “In-Box”, please and take a tour of mine.

You’ll find several everyday life observations and some; more personal.

Thanks for taking some of your time, to tour my “In-Box”.
