An Amazing Moment
SO I am finally back from Chicago and the AIESEC US Winter Strategic Conference.... and I am in such an emotional state you would not imagine. The experience I have had in Illonois in the last week has been easily one of the most wonderful of my life.
From the pre-meeting till the final ceremonies - every minute was filled with challenge, with energy and with amazing heart. At times I was tired, energetic, happy, sad.... EVERYTHING.
But thats what made it so wonderful for me.My favourite moment was at the end of the conference, when all the delegates sang to me 'Wind Beneath my wings', then croweded around me in a huge hug and picked me up to crowd surf me.... gosh I have never been part of such an inspiring moment before in my life....
THANK YOU @ US for giving me that special thankyou, and for having a bigger impact on me than you can ever imagine.
I love you all very dearly.
Love and Hugs,Mazzy xx

I heard the story firsthand from mike williams, steven, brett last night when all 7 of them stayed at my place in a drunken stupor.
Yeah it would go down as my favourite AIESEC moment ever....and one of the best moments of my life.
It has impacted me so much actually... I am deeply thinking about what I want to do after my traineeship, and am starting to consider AI as an option again. My passion for people and AIESEC is just so strong, and such a contrast to my traineeship job....
Take me back to US..... take me back to the start of the conference, and people.
AIESEC US... You guys better damn be sure to visit me here in Montreal.
I expect it :-)
and usually AIESEC US is stereotyped as a stuck up SOB (or was it just me???)
AIESEC US has the passion and the heart... it exists, it just needs to be nutured, grown and emphasised.
Thats my perspective.
Drive that passion, and more action will happen than ever can be imagined :-)
Maz,
If you must know, the Wind Beneath My Wings song was completely unplanned. When they called your name I knew I had to get something on quick ... somehow I instantly know what to play and had it up in seconds. I didn't know it would have quite the impact it did, but I am glad I inspired what is now my favorite AIESEC moment ever!! Cheers, Kevin
Just goes to show that the unplanned things in life are sometimes the best!
Maz- I had heard about you before through Jen and Devrim and your blog, but seriously lady, you are awesome! I can't tell you what an amazing and positive spin you put on the whole atmospere of the conference and the spirit of the delegates.
You rocked out world babe, with what I recall was mostly off the cuff (more mother; any story, any subject, anytime)! I'm just glad you could rock yours a little too with a little impromptu of our own.
Love ya doll.
And I am still waiting for my penguin story.
Perhaps when Mike, Arnaub and I come to visit.
Mwah ha ha ha ha.
DJ Kev and Holly,
You guys know how much I love the both of you.... SUCH amazing people to me.
Thank you for those special comments... you have made my day!
Love ya,
Maz xx
GOSH It is Saturday - I am at home sick with the flu... and I am still missing everyone from Chicago like crazy. This is terrible guys, I have to get over this ASAP.
Must move on, MUST move on....
I think once I have the photos I will be right.
Definately suffering from Post US WSC depression though. Spoke to Lynette(Colarado) and Christina (Austin) on the phone... just showed how much I miss everyone...
Well I will go and watch another movie.... ESCAPISM!!!
Mwaa haa haa xx
