Music, Movies, and Books

I love good (!) comedies and in general books and films that leave this wonderful "cheer up" effect :)

My favorite writers: Isabel Allende (strong and brillant woman) and Elisabeth Gilbert (she really knows what words are for ) - I've read all their books and can't wait for more.

I love songs with meaning

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giving birth to a child was certainly the most amazing thing I experienced (poor men :P). And taking care of 10 motherless puppies was the most challenging one :D The other adventures are still ahead :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn? Everything!

Teach?
Why it's worth to go vegan :)
English (if you aren't too advanced ;)
Polish? hmm... but who wants to learn it? ;)

Learning foreign languages sometimes may not be enough though :D
