My life is a constant journey. When you live in USA and you tell someone that you take off for Europe for 2 months they usually roll their eyes and wonder whether you are a drug dealer, early retired or you have a rich relative so that you can afford such a major adventure. Continue reading

This month I have been doing some more creative writing and one of the techniques which helps to handle it better is to observe something in your environment and write a story about it.
It is first of May here in Hawaii, known as a lei day. But today I will take into focus another new friend of mine here. It is called ‘the fruit of the angels.’ I did not know much about this fruit, but living here in Hawaii has introduced me to this fruit in so many ways. I would love to share this exploration journey with all my readers. Continue reading

Another month has gone by and the first quarter of the year has passed. I do weekly checkins with myself to check where I am, where I am heading and how my last week has been.
As Brendon Burchard questions it : – did I live, did I love, did I matter? These have been good questions to check where I am with my life.
I had to answer that yes – I have lived, loved and mattered. For me living means living to the fullest – doing and being what I love most – whether it is my hobbies or fulfilling my life mission. Love is so essential wherever I am and now living in Hawaii it has made it even more central. It is in every step and breath I take. I always have a bigger picture and think what and how I can influence not only my day today but also my future and this planet’s future with my choices and creations.
Read about my last month’s inspiration about my writing and how I reset my journaling button. The magic is hidden also into the mermaid secrets. Continue reading

I have had some interesting times. I have learned so much about my own vulnerability as well wounds which are all connected to the insecurity.

I am so excited to introduce to all my fans a talented Estonian-born brand manager and designer based in New York City – Valev Laube. We have not yet met each other in one physical location, but we were introduced by powerful women based in New York, like an Estonian dancer Diina Tamm, artist Jaanika Peerna and a power-woman behind the Estonian Cultural Days in New York Kadri Napritson-Acuna.
We have followed each other’s lives with Valev via social media. I instantly admired Valev’s courage to create bigger events and choose challenges which most people would run from.
Even though I thought I am not going to produce more of these kind of interviews he inspired me to make an exception and here it is!
Valev Laube is an Estonian-born brand manager, artist, and designer currently based in New York. He’s an enthusiastic creative mind whose digital designs and social media projects have been the cornerstone of many New York-based festivals, events, and company brands.
Read more about who he is and what does he do and contribute to make this planet a better place to be? Continue reading

The goats reminded me today again that I will always be the one who walks her own path during times most do not. What is really weird – is that I do not feel scared or alone at all. This is something my artsy being actually loves to do and it is so natural for my being.
I was looking for places where to stay during the festival and it seemed to be a mission impossible. Then I just got an idea to ask someone I know. She recommended someone who used to have a B&B. So I put it into motion and when I arrived here I was blown away.
The movie tried to document what is happening to the coral reef in different parts of the world and the results were shocking. If it continues like this – the reefs in the world may be dead in 30 years time!!!! Coral reefs are super important to our ecosystems in the oceans and they are like the forests of the sea. Take these out and you will have no fish and to put it simply – the whole planet’s ecosystem is in danger.

From the ISWG page it guides us to write about this topic:
Have you made a silly mistake recently in your writing or with your career? Is there a mistake you’ve made more than once? I’ll share one of mine: When I type fast, I often hit the wrong key. This happens the most with the word “shut.” I accidentally type an “i” where the “u” should be. That makes for some interesting sentences and a lot of laughter when I catch it. Continue reading
Time has always been like a mystery person for me. Sometimes my best friend and sometimes also my enemy.
AUGUST 3RD QUESTION: What was your very first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? Where is it now? Collecting dust or has it been published?
This month has the main focus on the earth element. Read my keys to understand how it can all play out! I also focus on the new time relation shift using these energies and making the shift happening in all of our affairs…
I will talk mainly about the water this month as the leading numbers show the lead in June. I also share how you can use the water as your best friend and guide in your life who helps always bring forth more flow and flexibility.

Part of what I love about doing these interviews is that I can visit people in their ‘habitat’. Finding Joylene in Bucerias was quite an adventure too. She lived in a beautiful Mexican house, with 2 bedrooms, living room and the kitchen. On one side the view was opening up to the ocean side, on the other side to the main highway. All the interior was very Mexican, with lots of colours, artefacts and Mexican furniture. It felt very homey there. She took out her home made guacamole and I knew I should not even touch it before we are done, as it looked so delicious and I knew I would not able to stop eating it.
I met Joylene during our writers group in La Cruz and from the moment I met her, I instantly liked her. What is there not to like? She has a very bubbly energy, so full of joy and wisdom and seems so caring and loving in so many ways.
After doing this interview I bow even more down to her, hearing about what she has been through and that she has been able to get through it and still smile and enjoy her life to the fullest. I hope this will inspire each reader to make the necessary changes in your life to live a life which feels fulfilling and maybe even buy her books!
Please read, comment and share, as this is one of the ways to spread good energy, frequencies and uplift the world! Continue reading
