Reminder of Kilimanjaro and life
This poem was sent to me by a good friend of mine…I would probably call him my sole mate……it reminded me of my climb…enjoy!
You cannot stay on the summit forever;
you have to come down again.
So why bother in the first place?
Because what is below does not know what is above,
but what is above knows what is below.
One climbs, one sees.
One descends, one sees no longer,
but one has seen.
There is an art of conducting oneself
in the lower regions
by the memory of what one saw higher up.
When one can no longer see,
one can at least still know.
Kilimanjaro
On March 13th at 6:20am I successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro the highest in Africa to Uhuru Peak 5895m amsl. That was one of the best days of my life and I also the most rewarding challenge of my life.
I was the strongest I have ever been in my entire life both mentally and physically. It was so cold up there and I had not slept the night before. When I felt I couldn’t go any further I thought of why I was doing this and what a breast cancer survivor has to overcome and I knew in my heart I had to finish. When I got to the top I couldn’t forget about my tiara and boa…and yes folks….I did…..I brought my Tiara and boa to the top and I released my inner queen and diva!!!!
Thank you for all the positive energy. I felt it while I was up there.

Just “CAUSE” Carmen is turning 30!
Yes ladies…I am turning 30 on December 7th! I am so excited to move into my thirties. I am embracing it! Many of my friends have already turned thirty and were very scared of it. I can’t wait because I feel that I am getting better as I get older. I learned a lot about what I wanted in my 20′s. Now I’m going to learn how to get it in my 30′s!
In celebration of my 30th birthday I am hosting an event Just “CAUSE” Carmen is turning 30″. It’s a fundraising/Birthday party on Saturday December 8th at Peridot lounge in downtown Toronto. I mentioned in our blog that in March of 2008 I will be fullfilling my dream and will be going to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money and awareness for the Canadian Breast Cancer foundation www.upkili.com. This is close and dear to my heart.
In November of 2006 my half sister passed away of this disease and this summer my best friend was diagnosed at the age of 29 and is currently locked in the battle to this disease. Both Dr. Blessyl and I will be organizing a fundraising event in February so please check your emails. For more information you can email us at info@burstnow.com.

Move 2008, Let the Dreams Begin Calendar
That time of year has come where everyone is preparing for the new year. This includes purchasing a calender for 2008 for oneself and as a gift.
Each month of the calender features a different sport or activity that one can incorporate into their lives for a healthy lifestyle. Each of the models are accomplished athletes that have competed from the community to world ranked levels.
Everyone who worked on this project graciously donated their time to pose, photograph and artistically design the calendar. All of the models were outfitted by Ice Gear fitness apparel.
Move 2008, Let the Dreams Begin…will be ready for sale Nov 9th, 2007 for $20 each.
All of the proceeds will go directly The Ontario Special Olympics
Message from Carmen:
“I ask you all to consider purchasing this calendar and help me on my quest to give a person with an intellectual disability the opportunity to experience and succeed in sport. These athletes gain self-confidence and transfer the success from the playing field to become more active citizens in society.”
If you would like to purchase a calendar (or more ) please let me know the quantity you would like to purchase.
“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Athletes Oath
Dr. Blessyl’s Confidence Tip
Confidence is a FEELING
Whenever you are in a situation that you don’t feel very confident, take the time to remember an instance where you did. Visualize your surroundings and the accomplishments that you achieved to make you experience this feeling.
Practising this daily will help you to tap into FEELING confident whenever you really need it. Job Interviews, new relationships, teaching a group are all scenarios that require confidence.
Start practising today!
Carmen’s Sexy Tip
December is one month away and it’s all about celebrating the festivities of the holidays so why don’t we use November as a month to celebrate ‘YOU’ the woman. We often forget about ourselves during the holiday months because after all it’s about giving…so let’s give it to ourselves this month. Before you go and buy gifts for your loved ones,buy yourself something nice and splurge. You deserve it!
