Remember. And actually do something?

April 19, 2012

The Holocaust. Holocaust Remembrance Day. What more can I say about it that hasn’t been said already by people who understand how to say it better? I can say that  there is no way to stop it from happening again.  And that maybe just posting Holocaust pictures on Facebook isn’t going to do anything. We are always told to remember and to never forget.   That the goal is not only to mourn our family, but to prevent the next one, wherever ...

How to really test the limits of your marriage

April 17, 2012

  If you are a fellow Special Pretty Princess (also known as “creative type” ), you know that sometimes your  craft goes easier if you are playing music. When I was writing my ebook, I often worked really early in the morning, right before a full day of  thinking intensely at work, and late at night, right after a full day of thinking intensely at work, and, on Mondays, in class.

It’s also the day I’m releasing my ebook! (about our trip to Scotland) Hopefully. If Amazon cooperates. You know how Russian pessimist I can be about these things. So, probably expect it like, next month. So, stay tuned. I am so, so, so excited to share it with ...
