Celebrating Love Day
Today is my favourite non-holiday holiday, Valentine’s Day. It is a day celebrating and honouring love in our lives. Many will say it has been commercialised and created a lot of pressure around it, and there is no dispute there. It is only for the strongest hearts to endure the overwhelm of hearts and cheesiness.

Alone vs. Lonely
I often talk with people about the difference between the two, especially since living in this surreal environment that I currently find myself in. I find that people do not know how to be alone and often they feel lonely even with people around them. It is a tough world we live in, creating and

How do you apologize?
I have been grappling with this topic for a while now, it is a natural continuation of the last week’s post but also one that seems to be universal and yet again it varies greatly in performance styles. As with everything so far, the way we apologize or if we apologize in the first place

Conflicting
Here we are, new in 2024 but for the majority – same old problems. I have promised in one of my previous posts (Difficult Conversations) to write more about conflict in all relationships we have, regardless of the nature of it. Although it is a new year, new me – I still hate the conflicts

Holiday Blues
‘Tis the season’ can be challenging for some; we are all in very different stages of life and in different circumstances. This period, in my opinion, is the one where we are at the highest risk of falling into our unhealthy family patterns or reliving some deeply buried pain. There is so much expectation and

Fantasyland
I was always fascinated with the limitless possibilities of our brains and what they are capable of creating or conceiving. Now, it is a highly receptive part of us. A part that is connected to our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies, and a part that takes it all in. We often have this graphical picture

Journey of Loving Yourself
We all know this one: you can love someone else only if you love yourself first. That is great, but how do we get there? What do I need to do to learn how to love myself? I guess I learned exactly that the word “learn” is the one that matters. Loving yourself is learning

Is Love enough?
Over the years, I have watched some of my close friends going through and making very difficult decisions to end their long-term relationships. I really admire the courage and strength it takes to leave a relationship that is not toxic or unhealthy, but at the same time, it ran its course. Lessons have been received,

Embracing our Sexuality
Since the pandemic, this has been one of the most precious journeys and lessons I learned about myself and my body. During the first lockdown, I took a 30-day course with Jenny Keane (based in Ireland) about female sexuality, owning our own pleasure, and self-exploration. Talking about the history of women and pleasure, only with

The Heartbreak Love
I think everyone can relate to this one: the one love story that broke us, the one that took our breath away, leaving us on our knees, feeling like there is no tomorrow. Okay, maybe not everyone’s experiences are as dramatic, but you get what I mean. When we experience heartbreak of any kind, it
-
Difficult Conversations
Difficult conversations, uh, I am seriously terrified of them. They make my whole body tense, stressed, and cause me severe nausea. I would rather speak in front of thousands of people. I believe many of us dread these conversations and find ourselves very clumsy and all over the place when we engage in them, even
-
Your Village
I love this concept of building your own village. We live in a world where it is increasingly celebrated to be able to do everything alone, handle everything by yourself, build a life alone, being your own center of the universe. In reality, we are social beings. We need other people in our lives and
-
Infidelity
This topic is very controversial for many. To me, talking about this is almost like talking about religion or nowadays about Covid – I don’t share my opinions unless the person is open to accepting various perspectives. I am very careful and respectful of different emotional triggers or fears that this topic invokes in people,

Space to Be
Today, I am grateful for the environment and family I was brought up in (well obviously there are issues – I am 30 and single so big drama in traditional society circles), my family defied so many stereotypes and it made me who I am today. I witnessed my parents journey towards for their own

The 2025
If I ask people in my personal village, how would you describe 2025? The response would be somewhere along the lines of: life-changing, unstable and unpredictable, shedding the old and rebirth, shattering, etc. Whether you believe in astrology and planetary movements or not, I am sure you have someone in your life who made a
-
The Uncertain Times
If you are a little bit interested in the auspiciousness of astrology like me, you already know that 2025 has been described as a unique and powerful year. A year where we are to let go of the old patterns of our lives and reclaim/rebuild/reconstruct ourselves again. This applies to the world too; the uncertainty,

One for Love
I have been asked by my 2 devoted readers when the next post is coming, and life lately has been pure immersion into experiencing and feeling. So I thought, most of the time, we create out of sadness or hard times. Writing and all forms of art come in as a lifeline, as a healing

Happy Enough?
Majority of our lives and most of the time during our life, we are chasing the phantom called: happiness. It is such a powerful word with so many facets. It is as unique as each one of us is. Happiness has a different meaning to all of us, there is no universal formula on how

Living & Loving Intentionally
As promised in the last post, I found below advices so simple and useful to increase the quality of our relationships and love in our lives. The steps above are the ones leading us from attention to intention and conscious connection. It takes time and consistency; intensity of the feeling does not necessarily lead to

Intentional Love
There is rarely a conversation of responsibility that being someone’s friend or partner carries. We often speak about commitment, efforts, actions, service, etc. Recently, I heard a question: can you hold my heart gently and with care? It stuck with me because it is actually a responsibility to treat someone’s heart with gentleness and care
