Cold Twist For The Finals

I should feel lucky, just a cold is what I caught. The last days of 2021 are going to be like many days of this year: sick. Sick of human bullshit, sick of injustice, sick of darkness, and sick of ignorance. People seem to refuse to learn, to evolve, to change. My heart got so damn tired to witness their arrogance. Just a few can really live as human beings. Why try to save the rest then? Pointless.

Normally, I am a messenger of hope and light. But today I feel they don't deserve it. Many people live like demons. Their only intention or purpose is to hurt others. I can not understand that. No excuse. Whatever has happened to you, you should never hurt the innocent. Nobody is innocent? Well, I believe there are quite a few. Aware of karma, that we all have to suck the devil's balls at some point in this life. Yet, I think free will should never be used for bad things.

I am really sick, having trouble breathing. Taking garlic, ginger, tea, soup - natural meds.

My mind is totally clear though. My heart is even cleaner. Yes, clean. I am a soldier of God, in the Team Light. Nothing can ever change that.

Down By The River

This Christmas brought the best out of the rest. I am now chilling down by our river - Danube - Duna. The family had to understand that a professional writer just can't (and won't) stop writing. Parents, siblings, cousins, and friends had their share of yummy foodies, loud laughter, photobombing, storytelling with me - but from now on (for a few more days) I got the chance to create something. I just need this, peace of mind, silence, Mother Nature, sacred hours, meditation, and healing. Thanks, God.

I love any kind of water. I am that person who comes out at last from the water when everybody else got tired or frozen. Truly think that I was a Viking at some point. 

Christmas can be a wonderful time even if you are a non-believer, yet that amazing plus what faith brings to the game can not be replaced by anything material, nor anybody from your dreams. God is the only one who matters, the rest is just the cherry on the top. True Love is rare, and what we think about love is weaker than what it really is. Unconditional love starts with trust.

I am going to use this sacred time to create the best piece of the rest. Feeling totally inspired. Thank you all for staying with me.

Siddha Yoga Day

Here you go, something for you all to meditate on. What does siddha yoga mean? It means perfect yoga, perfected yoga, pure and perfect in something you do. Today, if you begin with anything, it is going to succeed. Funny? You don't believe in these kinds of things? It's all right, it is going to happen anyway. On the other hand, I keep my eyes open for these kinds of things which are Vedic astrology and its special days of goodness. I need positivity. I have to dodge and shut out any negativity at this moment in my life. December days mean quite a lot to me and I won't let anybody or anything ruin it. Not talking about you, my dear reader. My heartfelt thank you for your time and curiosity!

My humble advice to you today is this: whatever you wanted to start - start it today! Do not hesitate, do not wait! There won't be a better time! Just do it - thank you, Nike.

I had my share of great and horrible times in this human life, yet I still have faith in the Light. I have a talent that I am most definitely willing to share with the rest of this world. What I believe in makes me stronger than most people are. If you got the difficult path, you probably are one of us. Never give in. Keeping going is the only way because we don't get to decide when it's going to be over. Enjoy your time because it can be shorter than what you'd hope for. Love, create, learn, teach, laugh, cry, hug, sing!

Do your very best to make it count!

Legally in Christmas Mood

Now it's official, Christmas week has begun. What are your preparations if there is any left to do? Don't forget to feel the magical moments! Relax, nothing's going to work out as you planned but sometimes it is the best thing on planet Earth. Trust your gut, always. Surprises are the best! This month I often catch myself having daydreams about the Hogwarts Great Hall. If you don't know what that is - don't even start talking to me. Haha. No, seriously. Google it before you begin!

I wish the pandemic to go away and to be able to travel as before. I miss being abroad, meeting new people, discovering other sides of the world, talking to those who live there is the part that makes it epic and awesome. Not to mention the surprises. They just happen, always.

As a natural-born writer, I've always been touched by the waves of the unknown. To me, each and every snowflake comes out charming. I see the spicey witchcraft of baking gingerbread man cookies. Oh, and bite their heads first, not to make them suffer! /They prefer a gentle kiss as a farewell before the bite./ I can dance with the irresistible winter breeze on the frozen lake. To me, the owl's midnight song is just as enchanting as the raindrops after a day filled with blues.

I'm not easy to impress but if you are honest about who you are then we can be friends.

Being The Child of Surprise

I've always felt like that. Being the one who was born to live the outcast life. Nobody can understand the way I see things and that is scary. At first. Then I realized I have to find the other ones. The message to them is simple: ' come out, come out, wherever you are! '.

To have the hand of destiny on your life, to feel the extreme pressure to do more than the rest of the world, to face the demons and defeat them, to help the ones in need, to give your life for what you believe in. How many of you out there can do that?

I won't give in. I have faith and my life is in my God's hands. It means that I still have to fight for what I came down here for. Nothing is for free - I have learned that. Age is a great thing, time teaches a lot if you are willing to listen. Human life can only be a gift. I know it's hard, I am aware of you bleeding inside and out. Yet, we all better be grateful for the chance.

My journey started heavier than most of yours. My childhood and teenage years were like a non-stop training camp and a battlefield. Yet, I have never stopped telling comforting stories to those who were eager to listen. Magic is running in my veins and I won't ever feel ashamed of that. I was born to be the child of surprise. I believe in the bound by destiny part.

Saturday is here, next week is Christmas. I can hardly catch up but I am most definitely going to try. :D

your cheerful soul,

Crazy Year (Soon) Behind

There has had been so much going on, I can't even make a full list right now. Not blaming the COVID-19 pandemic for every negative aspect, yet it had a huge effect on our mental - emotional - physical health. Everything and everybody around me has had been touched by the changes, restrictions, health issues, somebody they loved in the hospital, something they wanted to do but couldn't - we all had our challenges.

I have to believe that as 2021 ends soon - this absolutely crazy virus thing is going away for good. Call me naive or whatsoever but I don't want to /and not going to/ welcome 2022 like this. 2020 and 2021 were taken, yet I made the best out of what was given. To me, each new year is really a new start. I have to go on and I refuse to give in.

Who is a member of your home team? I'm just curious.

Can you tell me who is the 10 Most Admired Women of 2021 for you?

I believe what makes somebody admirable is not the looks. I prefer intelligence and a good heart. Beauty is soon be gone but humor and kindness remain forever. I hereby admire all the women who did anything out of their famous comfort zone. Also, repeat the names of those women who gave birth out of love and consciousness.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - I can totally relate to that. /it's a 2022 NICHOLAS CAGE movie, just saying/ Hard to live in this material world when you can see what others can not. The spiritual world won't open its gates to you that fast. WE all have to go through what we came down here to go through.

Making other people feel good is the key. Thank God, I still can do that. These past two years were narrow but I somehow managed to stay.

Every end has a new beginning.

Parenting the Parents

Hopefully, many of you are as lucky as I am to have both their parents still around. It can be heavy at certain times /getting tattooed, cutting a mohawk, wandering abroad alone, not having kids yet, etc./ but mostly it changes after you reached the age line 35 or even went over it /like me, 37/. We become the parents and they happily rumble as the wrinkled little rascals. Tested and true.

My Dad is officially the biggest kid to handle. He got used to being the boss, everything going the way he wants it, everybody serving his plans - then he had me. My Grandpa /his Daddy/ told him that I am like 10 men put in one tiny body. He laughed, then he realized it's true. Now I can see he is trying to mock me and give it back. I accepted the challenge. We are kind of alike: similar strong personality, brave voice, stand by justice, help the weak, dream and write very colorfully, having the most determined will ever, and faith above all.

Today I am giving him the best gift /well, almost/ ever, like a pre-Christmas gift, the cake his Mother used to bake for him, his favorite. It's my first real trial of it /yet, I am a grandmaster of baking/, hunted the perfect recipe for years /promising him that this year I am going to bake it - and not fake it/. Wish me luck to see the happiness on his old cutie-pie face! I am a Daddy's Girl but not that spoiled because I was raised as a soldier - warrior - ninja - rebel. We had our fights but now living on friendly terms.

My sweet Mama is an angel on this planet Earth. All she has ever done was to support my dreams /emotionally, mentally, financially/. She kept saying positive things even at the darkest times, always. She never cared for herself but for me and my little brother. She put everything aside when we needed anything. I am sure I can never repay her. I believe mothers are the true angels and guardians God sent for us to protect and teach.

If you want to find the rock and heart of a family - look at the oldest mother! She knows things for sure. I love and respect all the grandmas, they are the real deal. Hands down.

I don't know yet, where this life is going to take me but what my Mama has taught will always remain. Spirituality and maternity. Creativity and positivity. Art and love. Handcrafted things and decorating. She has always been the greatest role model in lifting up others. She still guides and parents people around her with the most gentle voice and touch which are the mother's superpower only.

I wish you all a fun and full of gratitude Sunday with your Family!

Healing Buddha Day

Doing specific things for our fragile health is a must. We are all just human in the bodily conception, no more - no less. We have to take care of what has been given to us. Drinking water first thing in the morning is a great idea, I hereby ask you to do so! It works for me. Proof: I'm 37 and most people think I'm 18. Just saying. Water, water, water. Wash your face with cold water 7 times. Tested and true.

Daily exercise is also a necessity but it doesn't have to be heavy and serious army training! A simple (but long) walk can also do. Try to go somewhere in Mother Nature to breathe fresh air! Walk around trees and a river, lake, or sea! Yeah, our lungs desperately need our assistance.

Today anything you do for your health counts 100 times. Not a bad chance! Thanks go to the Tibetians for the knowledge!

I write about various topics each time, so don't get surprised by the fast changes! I'm a nomad who tries to survive in the big city jungle, yet her heart is by the lake. I wish I can live in the middle of Mother Nature!

Eat more veggies and fruits from your own country's range, and most importantly: eat and drink ginger in this winter season!

Ayurveda is the best way for me to stay healthy and young. Try it!

Respect - Aretha Franklin

It's been a while for me to witness such great storytelling and acting about a real person. I like biographical movies, I think they deserve to be praised much more! This film - 'Respect' (2021) - took me on an emotional rollercoaster but was absolutely worth it. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Last night was magical. Jennifer Hudson did an amazing job as super badass, vulnerable, crazily talented, and sweet Aretha Franklin! Hats off, ladies and gentlemen!

This is the main reason why I believe making movies is not a waste of time. Every human being has a story, some of us just seem to have more to share. I hereby encourage all of you fellow filmmakers out there to create more biographical ones! Come on, we have so many interesting and gifted folks around!

To me, all life is equally important. I don't see skin color, I see personality and actions. I hear the words you say and I only care for whether they are nice and uplifting, or bad and discouraging. We all get our piece of karma and destiny here but things can be changed, always. Faith can do that. God can do that.

I don't have better words to share today but please watch 'Respect'! Whether you are in a male or female or any other kind of body. Whether you are pink, or red, or orange. Just watch this movie with an open mind and a true heart!

Santalorian

This Monday did not start well for me, had a little surgery at one private dermatology. The human body can produce interesting or kind of disturbing /bothersome, nerve-wracking/ things we have to deal with as soon as possible. Don't worry, I am fine now but the pain was a bit extreme. Didn't last long, thank God for that! I often find myself in situations everybody is trying to avoid. I face them, yet I get tired after some time. Like today. I just want to get cozy, write and read, heal.

Santa came today with a full bag: dark chocolate figures of himself, gingerbread decaf coffee, red velvet cake, dark chocolate coins, red apple, golden apple, walnut, and orange cookies, so lucky one adult can be. I bought a funny Santa hat with white locks on both sides. Stay tuned, going to post a photo on my Instagram!

I consider myself highly tolerant of human bullshit but there is a limit that has been reached by my neighbors a long time ago. I pray and wish that God is going to relocate me before this year's Christmas! Please, please, pretty PLEASE!

Freedom After Life

One of my Mother's cats left this world yesterday. She was rescued by me in a village /Szilvásvárad/ where she was on a tree shouting weak 'meows' and a huge dog was about to eat her surely whenever she comes down. She was a cute little redhead, a true wildcat. She lived quite a long, more than 20 years with us. /not sure of her birth date since she was rescued/ Vörike was her name because that means redhead in an endearing word.

Today it is going to be my duty to kind of conduct her passing. The ceremony is going to be very simple, mostly a spiritual guidance for her and to thank God she can now go on to the next adventure. This is how her circle of this life can end.

Freedom awaits Vörike and all of us. Death is not something to be afraid of. As I believe it is the gate to real freedom. This life is only a playground. At some certain point, we all get enough of it.

The soul food of today is to prepare yourselves for true freedom after this life. Death is coming for all of us and nobody knows when her/his time is up. Karma is a bitch, indeed. Better not fuel her with negative acts, words, thoughts. Be wise, clear your vision!

Let this holy month be a cleansing of things, thoughts, words, and actions!

Hydrated Encounter

Freaky Fridays are back, I guess. Never thought of this pandemic as the parent of the fakers - scammers of Instagram /or any other social media platform/ who will constantly try to prank us with a very poor act of someone famous we might happen to follow. I want to clear my way of the picture on this. The reason I follow somebody who is in my industry is out of pure admiration and the show of my intention to work with them in the near future. I believe this is perfectly understandable. One tries what one can to get behind the scenes and start a collaboration with whoever is willing or interested in return.

I warn all of you NEVER TO DONATE any amount of money to a scammer. There is a reason for those 'verified accounts' on Instagram. Please be extra careful and never be afraid to ask questions to anybody and everybody! Block that person before they can do any harm to you.

Back to the cheerful parts: weekends are called like that for a reason. It's the whole week behind us, time to rest - create - celebrate - enjoy the silence. How can we do that? A little inner journey has never ever hurt anyone. Meditation, yoga, walking in the park /or just on the streets, or in the forest/, singing your lungs out, laughing your head off, etc. The list is endless.

Saturdays are the best because the sword of Damocles is not hanging above our heads. /poor Sundays get the honor/

Let's do our best to stay healthy and happy, especially in the middle of chaos! Strengthening your immune system is a must but not just with vitamins and ginger! A bear hug, a burst of laughter from the belly, a healthy vegetarian meal with the family, warm cocoa or a decaf coffee, a soft cheesecake, a fluffy rescued doggie, this list has no limits too!

I highly recommend you to surround yourselves with those who can lift you up with just their presence! If their words are encouraging, even the better!

Wizarding Winter World

I can hear the flute playing gently to reach the core of the human heart. What's the sweetest sound you love to hear this winter? Wish I have the amount of magic inside of me to give all of you the heartwarming sound of your own heart. Try to listen to it! Nothing you can lose, only gain. Be courageous to participate in the game!

I've learned pretty early that wizardry comes with a price. When others are not capable of what you can do they become afraid of you and cast you out. Never mind, the perfect company will come, it just takes time. Waiting can be a killer but it's always worth it. Trust me on this, I've tested my own theory. The friends, the real friends are going to stay. Those family members who really love you, they are also going to stick around. True love hopefully has an eye for your magic too. We are about to see that. Never give up on life.

Enchantment is the nature of the eyes and the smiles. When they are honest they are able to change bad things into good ones. I've been there where nobody should ever be. Now I'm stronger than anybody ever can become. The pain, the loss, the suffering, the struggle - all made me who I am today. Not saying that I enjoyed them but the light is brighter after the darkest night, right?

I do believe in goodness. I have faith which is my superpower. I still can give, even when I've thought I've lost all the magic I had. I want to create the wonders you are going to watch and see. Never gave up and got here for a reason. Human life is a gift to me and I tend to take it seriously, yet play with it constantly.

Whatever makes you feel special do it! Don't hide in the shadows to make others feel comfortable! Step out to the light and shine! The fun awaits there, out of the so popular comfort zone of yours. I've tried and surprisingly enough it was true.

Health does matter because there won't be anything without it. So take care of yourself! Enter the circle of those who use prevention! Vitamins, exercises, water - HYDRATE, veggies, and fruits of your own country, Ayurveda, and its natural medicines. I do this and usually, people think I'm 18. (for the record: I'm 37)

Dear Wizards of this mad world, please hold on a little longer! Spread your magic even if you see nobody as getting it because they do! Never give in! Keep going, keep the faith! I'm here to fuel you all with soul food when you need it.

your ever cheerful soul friend,

Are You in the mood for Christmas?

I want to know how you feel, so if there's a way to tell me then please don't hesitate! I am still here. Waiting for you all, like God is standing by and being patient. There's no need to fear, human life is always a gift, all you have to do is use it. Do you feel the love and the courage to do so? I believe in you.

Christmas means to me the acts of kindness, peaceful (who am I kidding?!) family gatherings, strong faith, and spirituality shining at its best, new and old friendships blooming, respect and careness for Mother Nature, the arts finding their way through, volunteer services for the community, gratitude for what we have, and so much more! Tell me your version in the comments below! 

The always playful nature of me is getting ready to burst out each day in December. This is the goal, to bring laughter and smiles, faith and hope, bear hugs and true love. Do you want to be a part of it?

I'm officially in the mood for this year's Christmas. Period. I just need partners to spread the message. What is the message? Have faith in the good, the tides are always turning for the better. The bright side is open for submissions. Do you want to become one of The Changemakers of 2021? I believe you are already one of them for me.

I'm not just using the popular phrase 'accept everybody' but I do it honestly from the bottom of my heart. If you are willing to change and help and do good, then you are in my team. Welcome, buddy!

your ever cheerful soul friend,

Kata The Writer Nomad

December Days Has Begun

It's official. We are here. Still young enough to start all over. I mean, all of us out here. Time surely has passed by but that's its job. I believe in miracles and they do happen to all of us, we just have to keep our eyes open. December is truly the most wonderful time of the year. Let's help the fairies and make it happen! What do you say?

Can I travel back in my heart to that moment when we all have arrived at the huge Hogwarts Great Hall? Harry Potter has changed it for me forever. I saw that the way I've always been is true. Magic in my blood is real and I can turn it into a book or a movie. I can change the way people think and feel, to help them become better. Better versions of themselves. I can still feel that amazingly warm wave of soul-smile I felt that moonlit night at the cinema. Thank you goes out to all who have ever participated in the making!

Human life must be used wisely, yet you can not deny your nature and the gifts God gave to you only. I have to manage my own and hopefully, you all can get something good out of it. Working hard means to dive into my magical world, the other side as some of you might call it. Artists are creatures bathed in stardust and unicorn powder. We can see everything with different eyes and we can show it to you if you are willing to get a glimpse. Are you ready?

Come and play with me! It's for free and maybe can open your heart once again. You did nothing wrong, life is just life, nothing more. We are living in one moment and gone the other. The ride matters, the lessons, the journey we choose to take. Let's be brave and stand up for what matters to us, shall we?

your ever cheerful well-wisher friend,
