The Evolution of the Woman in Me

For my entire life, I was so proud to call myself a feminist. I understood this term mostly intuitively and the meaning of it was changing for me as I was evolving.

Take Me to a Fairy Tale

“Take me to a fairy tale. To a place where magic is as real and as unquestionable as the fact that Sun will rise everyday again. To a place where the Good and the Evil fight in their never-ending quarrel, just as here, but the Good always wins,” she whispered and smiled gently. As if she could see all of these magical moments at once.

The Unescapable February Days

I don’t know if you are familiar with this feeling, but February days are for me, in general, very gloomy. And even the fact that it’s sunny outside usually isn’t helping. It is freezing, literally, for several weeks, the spring is within the reach of our arms, yet it feels so distant, after all those…

Meditation: The Spring Is in the Air

No, I haven’t got crazy. It’s about 30 centimeters of snow outside and I am daydreaming about the spring? That is right. And I can tell you why!

Kindness Is the Key

I used to be ashamed of my kindness and compassion. How silly, right? I know. But in a world of opportunists and capitalists, how could be kindness and compassion seen as a virtue? For a long time, I saw it as a flaw, thinking – maybe if I wouldn’t be that kind to everyone, I would have got myself further. Now I know that the life without kindness is no life at all. And we, who are kind to others, to the living world around us and to ourselves, we must cherish this quality of ours as a golden treasure.

Positive Diary #27 – The Leap of Faith

As we are returning from our daytrip to Krkonoše and I stare outside the window of our car, I cannot help myself but smiling.

That Old Song

I don’t know much about writing English poetry. But I went with the same recipe as when writing a Czech poem. I just felt it.

Positive Diary #25 – Meeting with friends

We have to appreciate and nurture every moment and every opportunity to see our loved ones which we get. Today, I am profoundly greateful for my friends and for being able to meet my all time favorite and oldest friend

The Ireland Trip: Public Transport in Dublin

Everyone who has ever been to Prague has to remember our sweet integrated perfect system of public transportation. For me as a person who usually traveled abroad only by car to sea or with organized school trips it wasn’t always so clear. I heard the scary stories about public transport in the US or in Newcastle from my college buddies but despite that, I still used to take the way everything works here as granted. Well, not anymore after my trip to Dublin.

The Ireland Trip: Staying in Airbnb in Dublin

We found a perfect match on the periphery of Dublin but still on the red tram line in a quarter called Drimnagh. It was supposed to be around 30 minutes by tram from the city center and that felt completely alright for us.
