ABOUT ME

Trying to find peace, balance and happiness within myself. Healthier lifestyle choices with yoga and taking a time for myself each day made me more calm. It gave me strength to stand-up to negative thoughts, stress and to be able to have clearer mind. People and love (I do love white/sweet/not too dry wine :)

PHILOSOPHY

“What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment...”
