While most of my colleagues live close to Riga and occasionally gather in cafes for Tuesday work-togethers, I stay in Gulbene full-time. That means I miss out on casual chats, spontaneous coffee breaks, … More When a Colleague Cycles 108km/67miles to Visit You
As you know, I ended up with almost 100 tomatoes by accident…. I was so ready for tomato season—so ready to get my hands into the soil, to watch those little green plants thrive.

Today, I twisted my friend’s arm again for a walk – but this time, she could walk way more than yesterday! We sat down in the middle, but then continued to walk.

When I buy apples – they seem to have registered in “apple hater club” and when there isn’t any at home, they ask for apples like “apple lovers”. Helmī loves apples all the time even saying she don’t when the older sisters … More Helmī and apple
The blog post “Up till 5am” posted on January 9, 2017, was a point where I realize I’m not afraid to be less than perfect, miserable, confused, different and powerless! It was like a self-discovery without jugging. Two years ago I’ve started to “be myself”, to love myself and to write freely to keep my … More Another year!? 2nd Anniversary.

I wanted to clean the porch but it ended as a rescue mission for animals. First, I have to admit, that I wanted to through away few things like old pillows, sweaters and recliner chair month ago … or even more!? Long story short.

This was super nice and relatively quiet in our house tonight. Only Helmī was crying from 6:03am till 7:41am. I can’t get back to sleep anymore…. Long story short. Janis is super-dad!
