AWAKENING

About the Book

The book “AWAKENING” is an observation of my life experiences in different situations. It is a confession of feelings, that helped me realize how important is to be true to myself, and the people I care about, inexcusably speaking my mind.
“I refuse to be fed by their discussed ridicule.
I won’t be donating my brain, to serve you worthlessly.
It will pay your bills, yes, but not your sanity and peaceful sleep”
In this world, I am convinced that nobody can avoid fake friends, coincidence and wrong doing in life. The magic is to learn how to remove you from it. It’s the main part of who we are becoming later.
“When you look into your inner self,
What is the first image your heart sees?
I have searched my soul; I invited the brightness of healing, from the fresh air”
I love being happy and to carelessly play with my kids. I believe that no other feeling can compare to motherhood. “That’s what I am, all crazy running games. That is why my life is made for; my occupied happiness”
I dedicate this book to the healthy changes, to the new inspirations, to my family here, and those who I miss dearly back home.
“In this rain, I am standing soaked, as the naked truth remaining still.
Open my soul, and read me as a book.
Tell me, what do you see?”
