No turning back, but can we move forward?

November 4, 2025

There are days that boldly mark our life experience. Moments that change us forever. Irreversible situations that we wish we never had to experience. Yet thankfully to them we are able to become our most authentic Self.

Death, illness, moments that break us, crack us open so the light can come in and illuminate our truth are what we resist the most. As humans we cling to the permanent, resisting change, refusing to accept that death is the most certain events of all. End of a cycle or end of a physical life - they are both the same.

We enjoy the fresh, green spring leafs of the trees as much as the colourful autumn patterns, but rarely we see the cycle as one of life and death. for something new to be born, something old has to die. For everything development, there is a change. For every outcome, there is a lesson that has to be learned.

On today’s day 14 years ago my dear Father made his transition. The event that broke me into peaces and allowed me to search for answers and let a different type of light to fill me in. 14 years later I still don’t know why he had to go so early, and if there weren’t any other way to get to where I am. My human brain can only guess. God / The Universe knows best, were just here playing the role in our constellation.

There are wounds that can never heal, an emptiness that can never be filled. I’m grateful for all that I’ve learned about life and about myself, but if I was able to choose, I’d prefer that you’re still here.

It's not easy, but it's worth it

October 28, 2025

To follow your heart, to stand up for yourself, to be proud of who you have become.

Life is what we make plans for while it’s happening to us. The more I grow in age and consciousness, the more I see how incredibly simple but seemingly complex it is.

I never knew I will be here writing this to you, but also knew I won’t stay where I was. What I’ve learned? - To value every moment more. Even the difficult ones, as they are just passing by just like the beautiful ones.

The impermanence of Life’s track used to scare me. Until I learned to observe it with curiosity and let it be. After all, we do not have all the answers or possibilities. And we definitely have no clue wha it going to happen or how things will turn around.

Women

October 24, 2025

Women - my never ending source of inspiration. Just like Nature. The two forces that have shaped, nurtured and developed my work since day one.

Women are so inspiring for all that they do, the way that they do it. Creating a flow, their own little iniverse, a world full of colours, textures, shapes and flavours. Every little detail, every hidden corner.

Their outside world, the way they live and present themselves says a lot about them. Some might swear that what is shown outside is exactly what’s inside. But does it really? Can their inner world be even more colourful but some are simply not allowing themselves to express it? Or the contrary - the design magazine lifestyle is just a cover of the ruins that one holds inside?

We are all so multilayered. Going through transitions during our whole life. Recreating ourselves, loosing and gaining identities. In a constant flow.

The most certain thing is change. In which direction that goes, depends only on us.

1 month left

October 21, 2025

Do you count days to your new year? What does approaching your birthday make you feel? Do you celebrate the rare opportunity of being alive or lightly sweep away your blessing?

So may people say “I don’t like to celebrate by birthday. It makes me feel XYZ. I ask why? Why do you neglect the most important day of your life, the one that you were born at the time you were born that gives you all the information you need to discover you who are and why you were send here for.

Birthdays might feel strange. I’m often more excited for others than for my own. However I believe we must celebrate the day. This could simply be acknowledged yourself being alive, passing another year under the sun, being able to experience all that you have experienced so far. Because getting older is not a toucher, it’s a blessing. It is an experience that many we know haven’t had. It’s a treasure we must take care of.

Yes, we had lives before and we will have more. But here and now the most important is the here and now, the percent moment, the life we live.

One month left until my next birthday. Reflection is already ongoing. About the part year, about the past me, and about who I am becoming.

Don’t take life lightly. Appreciate with gratitude every single moment of it.

Skip a beat, but the beat doesn't skip

October 15, 2025

Taking a break is not the same as escaping responsibility. Keeping quiet is not the same as having nothing to share. In fact, the more we look inside, the more we listen to the silence, the more enriching it is.

11:11am. Are you aware of the signs the Universe sends you or you keep avoiding?
