Just realized that it was 7 years ago today that I rang the bell after finishing my cancer treatments. There are no coincidences and I am simply in sync with the universe as I embark on the next phase of my life.

Sometimes if you just get out of the way, you end up right where you need to be. 1990: Milica, a lovely woman who gave two wandering gals water, fruit, and loving hospitality. 2025: Her nephew Artur, offering me her home as my new place of refuge from a crazy world so I can find my light again.

Just read about the theme of the next Ted Lasso season: Don't look before your leap. Just leap, and you will find you are right where you are supposed to be.

I am not sure, but I think if given a choice to sit comfortably at home with my feet up by the fire or to board an overnight train to Zagreb, I am going to have to choose the train, even if I have no idea what my final destination may look like.

I woke up early this morning wondering why this time around it feels so different. In 2017, we were out on the streets, protesting and angry and screaming and yelling, not understanding how we could be here, how our fellow Americans could be so misguided and want this horrible person in charge.
