Waka, waka
Those who have known me for a longer time, know that I’m not very restricted when it comes to music. Not specific genre or instrument, not even performer. All the music that touches something inside of me, is the music I listen and I like. There’s only one exception. Because my hips don’t lie. Shakira.…

Time to celebrate!
Last few days have been full of good news. New clients coming in, the sun is shining, new ideas flow into my mind and kids are accepted into the school they wanted to go. It seems like everything is going smoothly. At the times like this it’s easy to be grateful for what you have…

I’m feeling hot
Finally it’s warm! Finally we are having a summer in here. And like I thought before, we kind of skipped over spring and landed straight into summer. It means that it’s time to set our house into summer mode. Open the windows, get fans working, get water into the pool and start having less clothes…

Off to Vacation
I was asked yesterday, if I wanted to go to vacation. Daa. Is fire hot? Is water wet? Of course I want to go to vacation. Who wouldn’t? Besides, my brand new passport just arrived. That made me think about my previous 10 years. As a single mother I have needed to consider how to…

Languages
I really love my mother tongue. I love that I can speak almost anywhere using my native language and it’s unreal if someone understands it. It’s like a secret or coded language, and it’s easy to hear from pronunciation if the speaker is not a native speaker even if they know the words. I have…

The grass has become a debated subject. I can remember, how the lawns used to be small areas between roads, paths, buildings, flower benches, trees and shrubs, only parks had larger areas.

Studying and learning
Learning new skills is so fun! I can still remember that feeling, when I realized how letters build up words, and words build up sentences. How wonderful it was to swim and float on the surface of the lake. In my later years I’ve noticed how easily we take knowledge and studying for granted. It’s…

Vision and reality
Every day I spend few moments after waking visioning my day to be. I consider all those things that I must do on that day. I think about things scheduled for that specific week. Finally I vision the free time after everything is accomplished. And it never happens in the way I envisioned it. My…

Building community
How many times you’ve been in a group, that you stumbled on? How many times you’ve grown out of a group you once thought to be your soulmates but you realize you were only a provider? How many times you felt of being essential part of your group and been fully supported? These things I’ve…

Self-image in speaking
Are you one of those people, who avoid attention? Shy and quiet, and missing conversations because of so loud inner voices? You’re not the only one. I’ve been working on it for decades, and finally seen major improvement. You see, I had speech disorder. I was able to pronounce k and g only after 8…
