My wrong decision I wouldn`t know how to rationally explain that.. simply, love came into my life suddenly and turn me upside down. I was a 27 years old girl with a great job, many good friends around me. I could afford expensive trips, outs, shopping.. I had a good life. The only thing in my life I was not satisfied with was the love situation. Namely, I was in an open relationship with a man who is 18 years older than me. He is a sportist, good looking and all women wanted…
Can we change someone? I have got into marriage with the hope that everything will be great, fine, like in a fairy tale. Really, I can not say any bad word about that start. I started a new life from the root. New town, new friends, new job, a new relationship. We were living together, everything was fine. But, with time, I recognize some signs that something is wrong. Shortly, I find out that my husband is a drug addict and drug dealer, too. I will not bother about those…
How to get over partner`s death At the moment when my husband died, I was pregnant. That was a big shock for me. In the first days, I did not know what happens to me.

When I realised that this behaviour will not be good for my baby, I decided to stop it. But, how? At first, with a…

I am sure that every woman is confused when became a mother for the first time. We need some time to realize what happened to us, and what is waiting for us.

A few advices for self mothers Parenting is sometimes reminding of the circus. Juggling (with obligations), acrobatics, dressage, and playing clowns. When you have a husband, that is easier, but when you are alone in that circus than you have to try extra hard. I managed to organized my own circus with these few rules: BE POSITIVE! Look at your situation with pink glasses. Remind yourself that you got the biggest present from God. And you should take care of that little…
Believe in God and you will never be alone When you are passing through a hard period in life and don`t know how to move on, turn to God and you will feel better. Faith affects people in many positive ways. It gives us the strength, hope, and patience we need to step through life. If you believe in God you will never be afraid. His light will guide you through dark days and nights. His wisdom will help you when you are lost. I have one ritual which I do every day and night.…
My morning rituals Rituals are things that people repeat in the desire to achieve a certain outcome. Examples of rituals are numerous, and perhaps the most visible in sports. We have all seen examples where basketball players tap the ball in a specific way before free throws or where tennis players take certain steps before the service. The morning ritual is a series of steps you take after you wake up and start the day. The morning can often determine what the day will be…

How to raise a happy and successful child? Raising happy children is not about giving them instant satisfaction or instant happiness. In fact, it is the opposite. You can help your children to be good people by adopting healthy living habits. **Let them play outside** Don't underestimate the power of outdoor play. Running on the grass, climbing trees, sitting on a swing, and digging in the dirt is good for children. They must be in touch with nature. Scents associated with…
