Childs Illusion / Careful, my
Child (captivities)! (French)
It is a song which I composed to my three children. I was inspired by my daughters attitude and particular interest in what seemed to be materialistic and artificial. We adults, all went through this during our childhoodI dedicate this song to all the youth in the world. As a devoted mother, I would like to bring happiness to my children withing my limited capacity and warn the youth to be aware of these dangerous habbits which can lead us into destructive dependencies. These temptations create faulse illusion which makes us fall into a trap. They can take our freedom away from us. And so misery will control our life. A good example of this would be : cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, excess of shopping using credit cards, etc. So, I would like to suggest to all the youth before trying anything new, to please take the time to studdy the potential negative consequences of this new habbit. Dont ever rush into anything unknown or new; it might seek to seduce you. Watch out so you do not fall into this evil trap which may take away from you the most precious thing in life : freedom. At the present time, please concentrate and put emphasis on the real values: Education and Spirituality (presence of God ; source of true inner peace). Careful, my child! Dont fall into a trap. If you do, please seek help imediately from a recognized professional organization. They are all here to help you ! So please, careful, my sweet children! I wish you all the happiness ! All things in life have no value without the spiritual guidance (Lord of Wisdom, Justice, Freedom, and Love). Enjoy life ! God bless you and protect you from any harm ! Listen to your parents, teachers, and your Inner Guide who speak from their heart. For, they wish the best for you! When you have any doubt, please consult three adults (who you truly trust) before undertaking any new decision in your life. Good luck to you ! Do not be influenced easily by your peers ! Be yourself! Be strong! You are unique, special, and beautiful in your own way ! Believe in yourself ! Careful, my child ! Enjoy life with opened eyes! May the Lord of Peace protect all the youth under His wings so no harm will ever reach them! Amen!

The Puzzle (English)
I composed this song for a very nice music teacher on his 70th birthday, June 2002. When I sang this song to him, I had a feeling of discomfort about the choice of words composed. I felt they were too idealistic exagerated a bit in order to be attributed to people. I thought such describtions would be appropriate to a Super Power (God of Justice, Peace, and Love). So, eventually I did some modifications and from this point on I dedicated to the Lord ; and so my soul is in peace Every time I hear on the radio a good successful (shark) song ; I say to myself this song must be forwarded to God rather than to Man.Dont you agree? This beautiful song has a sense of teasing flavour and amusement. I give several clues to help the audience find out who am I singing about ? And at the end of this song, I reveal Jesus name. This song requires the audiences participation. From my experience ; people like it and I succeed making people laugh. Children love it ! This is exactly my message: is to turn all cry into laugh and all misery into happiness. I wish to see all my songs be a source of healing, relief to come and take away the worlds suffering. We all have the right to be happy. Right ? May you find joy and peace in the Lord ! Enjoy life and be happy!

Libration of the Soul / Healing of the Soul (franais)
This soft lively melody was composed in memory to September 11, 2001 aiming to bring healing of the victims affected by this sad event. I wish through this song to encourage people to turn a new page and bring back happiness to their life. This same event woke me up from a deep sleep where I was hiding in silence behind a thick curtain of shyness. From this point on, I decided firmly to get rid of this blockage which prevented me from reaching out to all humanity. It was my turn to contribute towards all humanity, wipe their tears, and bring inner peace through this musical mission. I would like in the name of the Lord, to take the fear, the evil pride, the confusion, the mistrust, the violence, and all negative energy which invade our world to take away from us the right to be happy. In this song, I invite people to forget the past and regain the trust in the Lord, the real Power of Healing and ask Him to alleviate our suffering and misery. It is a song which seems to have no ending ; just like the Eternal Happiness. I love this song and believe in its Power of Healing. I sang it to people everywhere : in the Ottawa Market, on the Parlement Hill, on Mediteranian beaches in Europe, on the Pre-Alpes in Switzerland, in a nonformal manner. I saw this song as an ideal healing tool from heaven which has the potential to bring Healing and Liberation to the soul and true happiness to humanity. So, please let us get up and work together in solidarity by singing and dancing along with me in order to bring the Inner Peace to all humanity. I dedicate this song to all the victims of violence and wars in the whole world. Be Happy and please regain your beautiful smile! God bless you and bring peace to your heart!

Freedom / Overture / Victory (Instrumental)
This is exclusively a pure melody which symbolizes Freedom &
Victory. I usually play it on my electronic keyboard at the beginning of each
performance. It has a glorious and a victorious tone ; yet, it is as
simple as all the other melodies which I composed. Although Freedom &
Victory suggest to be something big; nevertheless, its solid base is truly
founded on pure simplicity. Dont you agree? My dream is to see this beautiful
melody played one day by an ensemble of a professional orchestra. Would I live
up this special and unique event ? This is left to be seenI put my trust
in Gods will ! And so, itll be! Victory, Freedom, and Peace to all the
universe!

The Song of Peace (French & Arabic)
This song stems from a historical beautiful event which took place on March 31st, 1979. It was the Peace treaty which took place in the WhiteHouse between : Israel, Egypt, and US political leaders. It feels like yesterday ; I was then single living alone in Windsor, ON. I remember when the big happy news was announced on the radio ; I jumped and cried out of happiness to see real peace coming to the Middle-East at lastWith this unique special spirit I composed this beautiful happy song. To me, it was the introduction to a coming big victory to all humanity . I was almost sure that other Arab countries will eventually do the same. Unfortunately a little bit after, I realized that my dream was fake and irealistic. So running out of patience after waiting more than 20 years, I decided to introduce this song anyway and concentrate first on helping people to regain the interior peace. For, I realized without this inner peace, it would be impossible to acquire the World Peace. So, together and in solidarity let us open our heart to the Lord, and allow Him to intervene in our life and heal our soul from every fear, anger, hatred, and sadness. And so, the world, at last, will successfully conquer all misery and peace will reign in the universe. Be Happy ! May the Lord bring true Peace to you, your family, relatives, and friends!

Instrument of Peace (French & English)
This beautiful song was introduced on the first anniversary of this Peace project. I was inspired by St-Francis Prayer of Peace. I start every performance by asking children to read this prayer before the audience. It is a happy beautiful song. In it I simply sing on behalf of every person who struggles to bring peace to our world. I invite everyone of us to become an Instrument of Peace. We all have this common responsiblility to build and spread peace in us, our surrounding, city, country, and the entire world. If we simply invest the little of big talents which we each have, we would be able to embellish our world with harmony. We would create paradise around us. As, you probably can sense the firm determination in me, I would invite you to catch this same contructive spirit in order to build a better world.With our good intention, investments of our talents, sincere prayers, and the help of God, we shall win this big Victory! Peace of the Lord be with you!

La Sduction de lOrgueil ( Franais)
This soft simple song was inspired by a little exercise of building self-confidence in a Human Relation course which is offerred in the Province of Quebec. This exercise teaches us how to get rid off the evil pride hidden behind our ego. From this simple exercised stemmed the flow of ideas to bring birth of this beautiful soft song. If you try to listen to it ; you wouldnt believe the spontaneous reaction of self-awakeness. A true psychological evolution arises! I personify pride to be seen it as a big ennemy to all Human being. At the beginning I seduce this ennemy with the intro, then I accuse him in a mixed feeling of regret, (to have caused us to have missed great opportunities), and at last, I chase him away from my life. And so, I win the Victory against this ennemy! Isnt it so the way he approaches us ? Pride often seduces us and puts us into big trouble and robs the Inner Peace within us. This is the first time where I apply vengeance in my life.By singing this song. I wish to encourage people to do the same in order to win their victory against this destructive ennemy. We have all the right to be happy and win this victory. Pride is a source of all negative feelings which we may experience; such as : fear, suffering, vengeance, agressivity, mistrust, hate. Consequently, misery reign in our heart. God created us free to be able to choose good or evil; and because of our limitation in our perception and imperfection; somewhere in our life, we seem to have missed the boat which aims to land us in paradise. And so we are seducted by pride which puts us in an endless trap. Consequently, we are deceived and feel a sense of defeat. It is our battle to struggle with perseverance and never give it up half way. Be strong and believe in yourself! Fix your eyes towards your goal. You can do it if you have the will. With the help of God Victory is garanteed to all participants in this big race of brotherhood, Humanity, and Goodness ((song no. 22; proj. 2001). Victory to all!

The Discovery of Talents through experimentation ( Instrumentale)
This melody is an experience to prove to the audience that if Jeannette de Nazareth can do it, anyone can do it! It has a Greque folklore flavour. I composed it while experimenting in a spirit of a child by making my little finger dance on the keyboard with the intention to entertain people through the means of simplicity. I wish to undo this complexity which some individuals tend to find excuses by saying: Oh, I cant do it ; I am not talented like the others. We tend to give always more credit to others than to ourselves. If you really have the big desire, you can attain your goal. The secret is to believe in yourself, and to have the will and perseverance to work towards your goal ; and the magic results takes place in no time. So, please experiment on any musical instrument around you which might be collecting dust for years, or work on any undeveloped talent which you may have. And you wouldnt believe the great treature your will discover through your hidden ability withing you! Wow! Once, you acquire this victory, please do not forget your Mother (country) who nourrished you and helped you reaching this goal. Please do not turn your back without saying a word of gratitude! Please give support to whom are still struggling to reach out to their goal. Go help them in your turn to achieve this victory. Your humanitarian act will be returned to you in multiblessings! Thank you for your great heart ! Let us work together to bring happiness to all! Thank you and keep it up! Good luck to you ! Believe in yourself and success is waiting for you next door

Harmony between vaste Gnrations (franais)
The approach of this song has a sense of childhood spirit. My intention is to soften and break the barriers which exist between generations. I would like to souder the holes and cracks which seperates between the family members and which tend to distort the communication among the family members. So, I would like to create harmony among all the different generations. Often this blockage is due to a miscommunication because we tend to force people to thing like us. We are all unique in our own way, why do we expect everyone to think in the same manner ? Every generation is unique in its own way and carries special values. So, let us invest these positive values in order to create harmony between the young and the old to embellish life and create paradise among us. Let us link all ages together through the thread of understanding and respect. Let us distroy the gaps which seperate us from each other; and so, beauty in life will bloom around us wherever we go. Happy Life to all ! Peace of the Lord be with you !

Live it up ! (in moderation) / Healthy Life (franais)
One day I went to the restaurant with a friend. While exiting from the car; the car bell went off. Hearing this consistant rhythmic sound; the inspiration of this song sprang. So, I took my pen and jotted down the words on the paper. The message behind this song is that we ought to tap on our back every once a while and reward ourselves for the good work we do in our everyday life. However, I still believe moderation in everything is the sign of a healthy physical and mental life. So, let us live a good life to be a ble to maintain ourselfves in a wellbalanced lifestyle. Cheers to all of you and me! (song # 20; project 2001). . Enjoy life and be happy! Peace be with you!
A word from the composer
about Project 2001 and 2002 :
If you examin the songs in the two main Projects, 2001 and 2002, we notice that project 2001 can be summerized to describe the chaos in our world which is the cause of all human suffering. We see the image of an angel or someone who is concerned to bring relief in his/her way within the limited capacities. A small voice who is trying to convey a message of Peace, Harmony, Mercy, and Love by encouraging people to participate in an important humanitarian mission. As for the second part : Project 2002, most of the songs can be represented with one main idea. We find the solution to this misery ; the Healing Power, Harmony, and Peace.
I wish to let people know ; that it is our concern and responsiblity to participate in our own way toward this important humanitarian race. By doing so, we create a world of compassion, love, humanity, happiness; and so, we shall acquire true Peace in this materistic world. I would like to redeclare Gods place on earth and put egoism and materialism in the second place. Of course, we need money to survive and bring comfort in our life. This is absolutely fine, but we must concentrate first on our psychological and spiritual growth. If the spirit dies, the physical body dies too. Spirit comes first because it is eternal. Everything else in this world has a begining and an end; we are in an ephemere world. At one point or another everything must goexcept for our soul. Let us invest for the true values which stengthen and enhance the quality of our life.
We can have all the money in the world while failing to acquire happiness. There are rich people who are poor psychologically and spiritually (unhappy) while some poor people are rich spiritually happy, although they are poor (financially);(song no. 10 ; proj. 2001). We have to nourture our soul by seeking true happiness in a non-materialistic matters. For, we cannot buy love, health, peace and happiness with money as some people may believe. Neither Love nor Peace can be bought or sold; it is given freely to every one who seeks to glorify the Lords name. Love is not a commerce. In our days, the real meaning of Love has a materialistic conotation and is powered by money, sex, fame, wealth etc. All these things create faulse illusion and give people temporary satisfaction while the thirst for love increases. Consequently, we often ending up feeling deceived. For example, we often get services which we pay for ; yet, we are left with this sense of deception at the end. Why? All the materialism nourture human pride and ego. They aim to destroy our wellbeing, peace, and happiness. However, those who have faith in God tend to be happy in wealth or the opposite. Yet the service offered can be given by the same individual to the same person. Why do we have two different reactions to this identical situation?
True Love comes from beyond this cosmos, beyond all subconscience, beyond all human imperfection and limitation. It is revealed to us through God. It is manifested by a positive attitude, health, zest etc. God is a source of the Healing energy, unconditional Love, and Eternal happiness. Without Him we cannot conquor misery. We need His presence among us to intervene in our life to cure our soul and the scars in our body. Human misery is due to our seperation from God. Rejecting Him is the only reason for our suffering. God is the pure spring water, an open channel which extend help to us in time of distress. He has the solution for our misery. After all, He is the one who created us. Isnt so ? We are children of God ; He watches us closely like a caring father. He is always close to His children to protect when they fall down and give them courage to go on in life. He knows our needs and pain and is expert in fulfilling our life with true happiness. We are born from Love, and we belong to the Eternal Life, and sooner or later we will return to our Source, because we are Love!
Let us break all the barriers which seperates us from each other because of religion, race, age, colour, sex, culture etc. When we create high solid walls between us, we become suspitious of what exist beyond the horizon. We tend to create a negative image of the unknown and consider them like ennemies without giving ourselves a chance to get acquainted with these people. However, if we try to make efforts to contact and learn about the unknown, we may end up communicating with them in harmony and we realize the image was merely faulse illusion.
In this case, ignorance and lack of information would be the causes of our misery.
For example, as I do not like barriers to exist between us, inspite the fact that I am Catholic, I go to many different churches of different religions. Christianity taught me to be open to all humanity. And by doing so, I discover the beauty of the different ways we can praise God. Every church has its own method, and they are all interesting and all revival to the spirit. I love to meet with the church leaders and their members. I make contact with all and I love them all. I find opening up to the unknown, we discover spiritual values. All churches are beautiful in their own way !
I would like to share an experience which takes place in an evangilical church in the region where I live which I visit now and then. First of all, the minister is full of enthusiasm, just, sincere and extremely honest. In this particular church, when a baby cries we see often African adults taking caucasian babies in their arms and vice versa. When I live this extraordinary experience, I am touched very deeply. Unfortunately, it is rare to see this happen in other churches or the society. I think we have long way to appreciate life as we should. I myself love children, and young ones of any race come to me, so I take them in my arms giving them all the love I can give. I feel like as if I am flying high. Children are beautiful; we have so much to learn from them.
I know when some people fall in love with someone coming from a different race, culture, or religion ; sometimes they are condemned by their family, relatives or friends. Why? What is wrong to see a Moslim marrying a Jew, a Christian marrying a Moslim, a Christian marrying a Jew, or an African marrying a causasian? Where is the problem ? Arent we all humans and made from the same flesh ? When love occurs between these couples, all barriers dissipate. Why by our attitude we create obstacles before them? After all they are the ones who are going to live together; not us ? Why do we block the potential happiness before these beautiful couples.
I believe strongly, if we had more people like them, we would be living in harmony and peace. There would be no more war or hatred because there will be no more ennemies anymore. Wouldnt it be a better world then? Isnt this what we long for: to live in peace and harmony. So why are we complicating life when it is much simpler this way. Simply accept people as they are and love them unconditionally like our Lord does.
Let us open our mind and be receptive to all the diversity which exists in the world in relation to race, colour, culture, age, religion, etc. Let us become channel of peace not war! Lets stop making new rules and regulations which make no sense but rather destroy our happiness. Let us accept people as they are. Yes we have to struggle to create a better world around us. Let us be Peacemakers and instruments of peace. Let us stop destroying all ideas which encourage discrimination among people. All it does is create a recession in the human race; we must go ahead. We ought to participate in the race of goodness, brotherhood, and humanity and win our race (reach our goal). May victory come to all! Peace of the Lord be with you now and forever! Amen!
