Happy New Year !

New Year’s Eve resolutions.. To be honest I'm not a huge fan of it. I try to make small resolutions throughout the year, once in a while, because I think it is more effective than writing 40 things in the New Year, because half or even more of them we will not fulfill.

 It seems to me that it's such a human nature, that with New Year goes new life, new resolutions, we like to be aware that we want to change something, we like to feel that we are not standing in one place. We decide to take care of ourselves, sign up for the gym, but we endure the first two or three months and then forget about our decision and give up. In fact, nothing really changes after the New Year. That's why I believe that smaller resolutnios which we really want to achieve are better. However, it's great when we enter the New Year with a positive attitude, so it's worth setting goals such as:

-          Bring more fun to life

-           Find time for family / friends

-          Taking care of yourself

-          Smile more

-          Develop your passion

And just live here and now without worrying about the future and without thinking about the past, what I wish all of you J Happy New Year !

Maybe I am a dreamer..

It is said that dreams come true, but they do not come true without our help, we are the one who makes them come true. Imagine your dream. Now think why is it still just your dream? Do you do something to fulfill it? Or maybe you are just waiting that something will happen without doing nothing?

Do you know why so many people leave their own dreams behind?  We, as humans, are not afraid of being weak, we are afraid that we are too powerful. In fact, each of us wants to make dreams come true, wants to go beyond certain living standards, but most do not do anything. Why? Because people are afraid of their dreams. They are afraid that it will be hard. They know they are able to fulfill them, but this requires time, work and perseverance. Of course it's not easy. It's very hard, but it's worth it. You can be whatever you want, do whatever you want and live the way you want on one condition - you must let go of the fear that is in each of us, because fear destroys dreams. So blow away the fear, get rid of it and take the next step!  Let’s see what will happen J

Everyone has the same rights

Last time I read a book " To Kill a Mockingbird" and it touched me a lot. It contains very important topic which is I guess nowadays still popular. The novel takes place in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930s. The main characters are three children whose father is a local lawyer. The reader observes the provincial community and follows the events through the eyes of a daughter of a lawyer who is six years old. Jean looks at the behavior of his father and the rest of the Maycomb residents. She learns the structure and morality of the community in which she lives. Many thinks that  what she observes is new and unclear to her, but on the other hand she has a childish fresh look, which is not burdened with the world of adult stereotypes, so she can see and understand more than many of them. But what is the most important for me in this book is that it shows a problem of racism which in that times were huge, especially in Alabama. The lawyer had to defend an African American who was accused of raping a white girl. Although it is clear from the beginning that he is innocent and has fallen prey to racial prejudice and hatred, the white Maycomb community prefers to believe the lies of the girl and her father. Racism and small-town ignorance are enormous, African American is killed for innocence.

This story shows people's brutality and soullessness. Why did skin color decide and still decide how we treat other people? What does it matter? Will the world ever understand that everyone, regardless of skin color, age, origin or gender, has the same rights and everyone is equal?

Christmas time..

Christmas market cannot be missed at Christmas time! Why? Because of the atmosphere of the Christmas market which is unique. It perfectly introduce visitors to the festive mood. That is why fairs have become popular all over Europe. What’s worth knowing is that The Christmas market is a tradition derived from the medieval German-speaking countries of Europe.

The most beautiful Christmas market in Poland, takes place in the historic Old Market Square in Wroclaw. During this time it becomes the backdrop for a fairytale scenery ... Among the fragrant Christmas trees, the aroma of hot wine and chocolate gingerbread, everyone are waiting for the power of Christmas surprises and attractions. Christmas market, no matter if it’s a Christmas market in Berlin, Poznan, or other city is for sure a perfect place to spend time with family and friends and it’s a the opportunity to feel the magical atmosphere.

Santa Claus is coming to town

It is difficult to clearly determine whether Santa Claus is coming to us on the sixth day or on Christmas Eve - legends and family reports are still changing on this issue. Anyway, in the previous generation, in most cases, he wasn't a big gentleman with a red beard. An Angel came to my dad on Christmas Eve, according to Grandma Gwiazdor, and not one of us probably heard about Grandfather Frost and Baby. What’s interesting, Sweden, Norway, Spain and the United States do not celebrate Santa's Day at all. You have to wait for Christmas until Christmas. It seems that we are lucky in Poland since Santa Claus visits us twice.

The magic of Christmas time cannot be limited only to the sixth of December! The more we stick to the preparations, the greater the joy will be when Christmas Eve finally arrives. So it's time to start counting down to Christmas Eve!
