10 lessons of wisdom for everyday modern...
Hi there! Today I thought about putting in to words a few reminders that all of us need from time to time. We chase happiness in external sources most of the time, but deep in our heart we know real happiness always comes from inside. Just by changing our daily habits and letting go of […]
From victimhood to taking responsibility
I still remember that girl Mihaela from 1st grade. Taller than me, physically stronger than me. With that attitude of “I’m the best in the world.” I was shy and introvert. The good girl. The good grades. Playing by the rules. Not knowing how to stand up for myself. The class of 1994, […]

There is a scream inside. The scream of not being heard. Not being understood. Misunderstood. Alone. Hope. Joy. Excitement. Losing hope. Feeling alone. Abandoned. Misfit. Wanting to share my heart. But they don’t see. Eyes perceive. Hearts are blind and frozen. Not wanting anymore. Hurt. You close the heart. Because it hurts. And you fight with […]
Alone in this world
Woke up this morning to see my article shared by someone. It made my day a lot better to see someone finds it to be of use. And it encouraged me to write today. This article might be confusing. As I don’t really know where to start and what to say. It doesn’t have a proper […]
Do I need motivation to practice yoga?
A while ago I read this article that talks about motivation versus discipline. At that point in my life made a huge click with what I was experiencing. I was in a point where I felt I have lived almost my entire life in a dream or better said in an unconscious state not seeing the obvious […]
