35 Life Lessons (Learned on a Bumpy Road to Healing and Happiness)

By Irina Leave a Comment

Swimming over the roadEver watched raindrops on a spider web sparkling in the summer sun? How light refracts in the prism of water beads, spilling out into hundreds of colourful beams.

By Irina Leave a Comment

Do you want to do everything just perfect?

Good enough is a foreign concept. One of the best wouldn’t do.

You aim at THE BEST.

You push yourself far and beyond to keep the house pristine, everyone satisfied and job done ahead of the deadline.

Like a bulldozer, you propel forward at the highest possible speed sweeping away the mess and pulling others under the blade. Persistent and unstoppable.

By Irina Leave a Comment

Confident womanMarge lies sleepless in her bed.

How on Earth can she squeeze mum’s birthday party into her already heavy schedule?

Starring wearily into the darkness, she struggles to solve a futile time puzzle.

Take care of the neighbour’s cats while she’s on vacation?–“Ok, no problem.”

Clean up mum’s refrigerator today?–“Sure, mum. On my way.”

How to Inspire Your Man to Give More (Without Nagging)

By Irina Leave a Comment

Couple happyYou love your husband.

And he loves you. Your relationship is good.

Most of the time.

But do you wish he’d be more affectionate? Perhaps a kiss on his way out, a compliment on your new haircut. Or holding your hand while watching TV.

Do you wonder why he can’t ask you: “How did that meeting go today?” or “How was your doctor‘s appointment?”
