We moved to Dubai under sad circumstances.

In 2017, while in Paris, we received heartbreaking news:

Our 6-year old son has an incurable disease.

His muscles are breaking down. It is 100% fatal, and his life expectancy is short.

We have no control over how long he lives, so let’s make sure he lives well.

And I knew just the place

Sunshine
White beaches
Swimming pools
Amusement parks

Everything a young boy would love!

So, 3 months later…we moved to Dubai 🇦🇪

There was a dark cloud over us as we arrived with broken hearts.

But the saying, “every cloud has a silver lining,” rings true.

4 years later -

I am so happy to live here.
I’ve met so many inspiring people.
I’ve never felt more “at home” than I do here.

But more importantly:

I wanted to give my son the highest quality of life and I know, he is in the BEST place on earth 🌎

There’s nothing I could write that would accurately capture my love for this beautiful country.

The rulers of the UAE promote inclusion, equality, and accessibility for who they beautifully call: People of Determination.

This is home
This is where love is
This is where we belong

My heart is full of gratitude ❤️

Thank you UAE, happy National Day 🇦🇪

Love & Motivation,
