A poignant story that illustrates it is possible to rediscover yourself and become the person you were always meant to be.
a wish...
Recently I wrote birthday wishes to a dear friend. “Karina! You have captured in your words wishes for all the living beings of this world!” she wrote when thanking me for my “very touching and moving words!” Her reaction to my words planted a seed to share it with you…
Live the way you want to live…
Be yourself every minute of the day…
Surround yourself with people who love you the way you are, who inspire you, and who appreciate you and what you do…
Have courage to overcome small and big problems you encounter on your life’s journey…
Give yourself love and affection when you want or need it…
Be good to yourself and love yourself, because only when you LOVE yourself will you be able to love others you meet during your lifetime…
Be grateful for the people you meet and have in your life, the happy and sad moments with them… They are there to help you create the life you want, need, desire, and are meant to have!

“We are done!” I said to my husband of seven years.
We sat on the couch in the living room, sipping our morning coffee and watching the news. It was a beautiful summer morning—August 2, 2021—in a small town in Pennsylvania. The children still slept in their bedrooms, unaware of what was happening. Dressed in my favorite comfy light blue jeans and beige T-shirt, I was ready to go to work, my office on the second floor of our house, to start a new workweek.
“What do you mean?” He asked, shocked.
“I cannot live like this anymore.”
I did not plan on breaking up my family that morning. It just happened. A simple question my husband asked me, “How are you?”, opened a stream of emotions I did not expect.
I had thoughts of changing something in my life for weeks by then, I just didn’t know that August 2nd would be THAT DAY!
…to be continued.
A few years ago my best friend sent me a YouTube link—one of many she sent over the years. “I think you may like it”, read her message. I did. The next few weeks I was immersed in listening to Ajahn Brahm, a Buddhist teacher. I believe all religions are somehow connected, and despite being raised catholic, I connected with his words and teaching.
