While engaged and living in NYC, I remember one day seeing this picture of Renee Zellweger. I loved it. Renee the bride, she looked so happy. It inspired me. I knew in a couple of months’ time I would be just like her, on my wedding day on the beach. Sadly, her marriage lasted only […]

‘Sleep’. That is the answer I gave once when asked what was my favorite thing to do. And I was being serious, too. ‘Sometimes I sleep till one or two in the afternoon. And I love it!’, – I had gone on and on. I wish I could say the same today. Most of the […]

I’m hoping you’ll forgive me. I’ll let my pictures do the talking today. Yes, they are blurry, but so is the memory of my wedding day. More than 15 years have passed. I do remember, though, that there was laughter, there was joy, there were tears of happiness. We ate, we danced, we kissed, we […]

Kristina was here. The one who started it all. The other Kristina was also here. The one who spent the summer in Petoskey with me and braved the cold winter there, too. Amongst my sister, my mother and myself, we would call them the ‘tall Kristina’ and the ‘short Kristina’. Years later I met Christine, […]

Let’s be honest here. I’m not the best driver in the world. I’m not the worst, either. Hilton Head Island that fall had the bumpiest roads for me. The plantations on the island are beautiful and with lots of recreational areas. The houses are huge, but so is the space between them. The mail boxes, […]

You know how everything in this life is temporary? Well, that sucks. If ‘forever’ doesn’t exist, why does the word? Like I said, I’m not a huge movie fan. I enjoy watching them, but these days I can hardly find time to breath. So when I watch a movie and can’t stop thinking about it, […]
Read MoreLife in NYC: the good
My life in NYC was many things. What it wasn’t was ordinary and uneventful. Our first place to live was a basement apartment. For those who are not sure what it is, imagine opening the building door and going down, instead of going up. Our one window was on the same level as the street. […]

Call me a believer in fairy tales. Tell me I watch too many rom-coms and don’t have a clue about what a real relationship is about. Whenever I meet a man (not too often during these pandemic times) and fall in love (way too often no matter what times) I always think THAT man is […]

To be honest with you, all I want today is a day off. One day full of nothing but rest. Sure, a couple of massages would be great, a total makeover is recommended, some TLC is definitely needed. But as long as I don’t have to cook or clean, for a day, I’ll be happy. […]
Read MoreMy second time
What if I had not gone back to the States the second time? Would I have found (and got to keep) my real love? Would I have seen more of the world? Would I have gone through less pain? No point in asking myself that, I know. Still, I wonder. If I had not gone […]
