It wasn\u2019t so long ago that I\u2019d be taking selfies (often poorly framed!) to capture what I call \u201cperfect moments.\u201d These were magical times when I was surrounded by loved ones and nothing or no one could bring me down \u2026 I often thought I\u2019d never feel that way again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But thankfully, I was wrong. I\u2019ve experienced so many perfect moments lately. I regularly witnessed the joy in residents\u2019 eyes when they tell me how happy they are. Thank you, 2024, for bringing a little magic back into my life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The past 12 months have reaffirmed the pride I feel in working for a company whose purpose is to foster happiness. What I\u2019ve witnessed in residence this year has amazed me just as much as it did on my very first day, over two years ago. I remain in awe of the teams that manage to stay the course with such rigor and resilience, sparking authentic smiles day after day. For me, continuing to grow Le Groupe Maurice means working to multiply magical moments… perfect moments. Is there truly a better job than that? We\u2019re magic makers! And we\u2019re exceptionally fortunate to be doing this work.<\/p>\n

But I know that happiness can be fleeting and doesn\u2019t just occur on its own. There are people working diligently behind the scenes to make happy moments possible. For me, the secret to success remains teamwork\u00a0\u2013\u00a0both at our head office and in our residences. Let\u2019s face it, you can\u2019t climb a mountain by yourself. I learned that first-hand this year, when I tackled not only Mount Kilimanjaro but also my own personal challenges (my internal mountain so to speak), which were just as tough as climbing the Kilimanjaro. There were several times when I literally \u201cran out of oxygen,\u201d a common phenomenon when embarking on such a major ascent.<\/p>\n

Climbing any mountain, whether it\u2019s a personal challenge or a professional one, is a step-by-step process. It requires the right equipment, but more importantly, the right people who can provide support when needed. There will inevitably be headwinds, obstacles and situations that fill us with doubt and uncertainty. It\u2019s in those moments that we must stop, assess the situation and ultimately continue on our way, returning to base camp to regroup. For me, our residences are that base camp; they\u2019re warm, welcoming spaces that are all about kindness, comfort and joy.<\/p>\n

I do make a conscious effort every day to choose happiness. That\u2019s why I try to visit our complexes and connect with the residents and teams whenever I can. It\u2019s uplifting, inspiring and gives me the energy to keep going and spread joy to others. My decision to get involved, specifically by establishing the Am\u00e9lie Champagne Fund to support the Quebec Lyme Disease Association as well as support preventing psychological distress, is undoubtedly thanks to the support of my \u201cbase camps.\u201d It\u2019s a full-circle phenomenon: we create communities that bring happiness to people, and in return, they inspire us to pay it forward. We support each other, lift each other up. And that\u2019s what gives me hope for the future.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really excited about what\u2019s to come. This year, we took a fresh look at our company values, and in 2025, we\u2019ll keep bringing them to life across our organization. Of all the principles that demonstrate our commitment to treating people with kindness and integrity, the one that is closest to my heart, is kindness. You can feel it in every one of the residences, and I think that\u2019s why people do so well with us. When kindness is at the heart of things, everything else just falls naturally into place.<\/p>\n

My wish is for kindness to become second nature to us all; a solid foundation that spreads its benefits to every situation and interaction, without exception. And I remain optimistic! At Le Groupe Maurice, we\u2019ve always prioritized know-how and values over professional skills. To me, being genuine, generous and respectful has always mattered more than having a perfect professional track record. So, could 2025 be the year of kindness, then? That is the grace I wish for all of us.<\/p>\n

As we get ready to celebrate the start of a new year, I want to encourage you to reflect on your own personal journey. Think about the progress you\u2019ve made climbing your own mountain, and keep moving toward the summit, one step at a time. Be mindful of each new step you take. Know your limits, respect them and don\u2019t hesitate to lean on your teams when you need to catch your breath.<\/p>\n

For 2025, I wish you an abundance of perfect moments\u00a0\u2013\u00a0magical moments. And be sure to capture them all with amazing selfies!<\/p>\n
