Keep reading… Just like the little ones today, we performed our dance spectacularly that autumn in 1985! The audience was thrilled. Then the … More My First Memory with Birds: Autumn 1985

Well, it’s getting crazy! This year has been hard for me! We lost two good people this year. One of them was my uncle almost 90 years old physicist! I remember learning Physics at school from a yellow book. I was proud, cause on the cover was his name (he was the author of that … More A day in the life of a latvian mom..
It seams like I have a lot to do in the studio and with my life as well. Planner would help a lot. Since I bought a Filofax 7 years ago, there is no need to buy any new planners. All I need is new fill. I love my Filofax and used it for two … More Back to work… with Filofax!?

Normally day starts with loading and unloading a washing machine… hang cloth for air-drying… iron/fold and put “in place”. Imagine that?! Right every day – once or twice a day. I hate doing laundry and especially if all my effort is down the drain cause may be “the water is too hard” or “the washing powder isn’t … More Hate doing laundry!
It’s been raining here in Latvia. I feel how changes our routine… time spend outside now is spend inside. Walks get shorted and fewer. I don’t like it! We all need to go outside and have a walk to be awake and in movement! Movement is life, health, and happiness. Life without movement stagnates and declines. It’s hard to … More Rainy days – walk
