Gabrielle Bouliane performs for the audience at the Austin Poetry Slam. Her poetry reminds us that whatever happened to us in the past, all the details of the day, really mean nothing. What we focus on drives our life.

This would be her last public performance.

Gabrielle was diagnosed with Stage Four Cancer shortly before this video was filmed. She passed January 29, 2010. So many of the most amazing people, like Lance Armstrong, Tony Robbins, Harv Eker and others have faced cancer diagnosis. They live each day knowing the past really means nothing when presented with the opportunity to live.

What we are hiding from is often the source of our greatest freedom.
