You have enough
Hello daring people! Have you ever thought something looked good for the very first time when you saw it on sale? Have you ever found yourself drawn to things because of ads or displays? Have you ever bought more than one item because there was a discount, only to find out later that one was … Continue reading You have enough
Meaningful activity=therapy
To me, and I am sure, to many others, millions if not more, sharing stories is about choosing the spotlight to truly exist in a public space where we might otherwise feel invisible.
Gladly real aka openly imperfect
Hello readers, Spending time in nature is one my favorite things to do, and apart from the very clear benefits, I think I walk in a park to observe and learn. There is always something to see if you pause and open your eyes: a tiny little detail that you wouldn't have noticed on a … Continue reading Gladly real aka openly imperfect

(R)evolution in the making
Hello everyone! I haven't posted for a while. After weeks of fighting this unintentional break I finally embraced it. And I am here, writing about it. My world has definitely not stood still. Quite the opposite, I have actually started a new path beyond self-acceptance, towards compassion, activism and radical self-love. My world has been … Continue reading (R)evolution in the making

While I didn't get involved as much as I wanted to for many reasons, this topic has always been one close to my heart. It really hits home. Partly because … Continue reading Climb that wall
