A Strong Woman. An Exhausted Human.
Frozen. That’s the word that seems to describe my current state most clearly. It’s been incredibly difficult to set goals and start working toward them. I’ve wanted so badly to write again, but I haven’t been able to, or known how. It’s time. Several of you, my lovelies, check in from time to time to ask how I’m coping and how we’re doing. The children have now been at school for about a month. Six months straight with my three little ones, 24/7, without a breather. When they were all at school for the first time, being able to enjoy the silence and solitude felt heavenly. My mornings are priceless…

Day 17 Without You
I need to write this out of me. I could have never imagined finding myself in a situation like this. I didn’t know that emotional heartbreak could be this physically excruciating. The longing is unbearable. The feeling of love is overwhelming. I don’t know what I would give to undo what has happened. Today has been unbearably hard. A complete collapse. I cannot accept that you are no longer here. I love you. I miss you. I keep your hoodie with me because it still carries your scent. The first three days after it happened were a complete blur. I remember nothing. Shock. Confusion. Why? Self-blame. A few days later,…

What if You Said Yes Instead of No
Lately, I’ve had to do an awful lot of uncomfortable things. By choice. I could have easily said: “No!” I could have said no to living in Crete, with its positive energy, sunshine, clean food, and beautiful souls—and chosen the familiar path back home, which no longer fed my spirit but felt comfortable because everything there was known. I could have said no when I saw that the local hiking club was climbing nearly 1,500 meters high on Sunday. I’m afraid of heights, and what I dread most is scrambling along a gravelly, guardrail-free edge where, if you slip, the only thing to grab onto might be a thorny little…

A healthy patient is a lost customer?
Today, we went to the market, and my favorite vendor had papayas for us – grown by himself! He even showed me videos of his garden, and it was enchanting. Here in Crete, in certain regions, it’s possible to grow all kinds of tropical fruits – he has mangoes, dragon fruit, guavas, passion fruit, and more! Holy moly, my imagination took off as I pictured our future home’s garden! But back to the fateful papayas.Papaya is a tropical fruit that supports digestion, strengthens the immune system, and helps the body recover from inflammation. It’s packed with nutrients that are beneficial to our health. James taught me that even the seeds…

How to Become Happy?
Right now, I’m building a new website and started feeling a bit confused.Tuljo went with the kids to the mountains to fetch water, and I thought that to bring some clarity to my mind, I’ll just sit on the bed, close my eyes, and try to visualize my future. Actually, I already wrote a question to ChatGPT yesterday.

Something Weighs on My Heart
In the past, crossing the border and leaving Estonia behind brought a wave of relief. I don’t know why it’s different this time, but I just can’t seem to shake off the feeling of home or breathe in the fresh air of this new chapter. Maybe it’s because before, we were escaping the harsh winters. Before, it was for our health. Before, we always knew we’d return and continue building our lives. Back then, we had the feeling that Estonia was still where we belonged, and we made plans accordingly. But this time, everything is different. The reasons for leaving are not the same. First, there’s the whole motocross track…
