About Me

HELLO! I'm so glad you came over here to my little ME corner.

My life story starts like any other. I was an embryo, then a fetus, then a baby in my madre's belly. I was overcooked for a week and a half, and I believe that is a valid excuse for the way I am. Haha, just kidding. No..really. I kind of mean it.

Anyway, on with it. I was born in Banja Luka, Bosnia in the great year of 1985. Bosnia is in Europe for the ones of you who don't know World geography quite well. I lived as well as I could until I ran to Croatia to be with my father in 1995 at the "end" of the war. For 2 years, I had the best childhood a girl can have and then I immigrated to one of the homeliest looking towns in the US circa 1997, located in the south central region of Kentucky.

I am now 39 years old. I survived high school and two colleges with no husband, no kids and a large bragging rate of how much I've grown up since I was born. My big passion is teaching the esoteric arts- tarot, yoga, Reiki, astrology, meditation, breathwork, somatic movements and chanting. 

I am ambitious and want to do everything in the world. I am also very lazy and often never finish. I still sing in the shower on occasion. I dance and sing joyfully in my car. I enjoy sunshine on my face. I rarely draw anymore. I take pictures. I want to learn how to cook and have a bunch of DIY projects, but have no idea how or where to begin because I have 35 half started projects. Ha!

On the blog- I mostly complain about the ethics of life and morality of people nowadays, but I do it with a certain classiness and humor which my friends and family love me for. I originally started this blog to write about my explorations of Spain while I was student teaching in Spring of 2012, but the blog continued after I came back home and became my therapy. I am now still in the process of figuring out where I want this blog to go. Yoga & Meditation? Crafts? Workshops? Pictures? It can be anything. I just have no specific idea.

Anyway right after this blog started, I was in Spain in 2012 for 4 weeks student teaching. I taught really mouthy and loud 6th graders English. It was the best 4 weeks of my life. I traveled while I was in Spain and enjoyed it thoroughly. It changed my life so much that I am including it into my life story. Although it was only a few weeks, it affected me so much. It helped shape the person I am today. I cannot wait to go back. I cannot wait to travel again.

After Barcelona I traveled to Paris and visited a dear friend from the states who was living there. It changed my life.

I then traveled to Croatia to see my daddy and spent 4 days there. 4 very short days, but was ecstatic to see him.

My life isn't a fairy tale, but it's mine. I own every bit of it. The mistakes, the tears, the sweat, the good

 and bad times. Some random facts about me:

- I curse. Like a sailor. I try so hard not to do it on the blog, but sometimes it will slip out. Please do not think any less of me.

- I am a very friendly person, I know many people but I have a few close friends. I am very picky about who I let into my life.

- There are only a few people who know the real me and they truly love my soul

- I speak several languages fluently, and a few I know the basics of.

- I have a very blended family

- I have a huge urge to travel the world, but my wallet keeps reminding me "Not yet."
- I love and hate change
- I don't like being alone always.  I'm a social butterfly in a cocoon of anxiety.
