Today, I don’t want to write. I don’t want to speak. I don’t want to work hard. Today, I want to do something else. I want to rebel, I want to disobey, I want to be silly, I want to be naughty. I want to play, I want to have a cheat day. A physical,Continue reading “The Revolution of Self-love”

The Gardener of Eden
In my beautiful country, folk wisdom teaches us, “make Heaven of what you have”. Today, more than ever, I believe our Romanian proverb to be an excellent illustration of the mindset we should have, coming into this world. One of humbleness and gratitude for all the available resources, as well as powerful manifestation and mindfulContinue reading “The Gardener of Eden”
The dilemma of a wish
I have always been a glass-half-full kind of person. I was accused, on occasions, of having perpetuated what could be defined as “toxic positivity”, more specifically, dismissing all negative emotions and disregarding sorrow or pain as illegitimate.

She was happily giggling at the magnificent wonders that the Universe surrounded her with, and she had not a worryContinue reading “Growing wings”
Home away from home
Over the past few months, strong and inspiring women I was fortunate enough to cross paths with have challenged me to journey to the past and reflect upon the ways in which my international academic and professional experience have shaped me into the person I am today. The first time I received such request wasContinue reading “Home away from home”
Partner in creation
Co-creating. The secret to a harmonious relationship with Divinity and with a Divine Partner is equality. Equal involvement, equal participation, equal intention and equal accountability in the act of creation, preservation and growth. Divine Grace isn’t static, it is a perpetual flow of Abundance and Love to which we contribute with our faith, our hopeContinue reading “Partner in creation”
