This banner is a great booster, the idea is so nice and of course being invited by 
So, sitting down by the fire, lighting a candle and writing this post is almost like a spa right now, a luxury :)
As for the challenge it all started a couple of months ago by 
Let's start with the first two obligatory questions:
1. How do you add value to HIVE?
Do I? Already? I certainly wish I will add value!
Well, it is less than a month that I started blogging, which sounds (and actually is) a very short time, although it feels longer especially due the very warm welcome and the very interesting communities and persons I have the pleasure to be around.
I am still trying to understand how the whole thing works - and no, I am not talking at all about crypto and blockchain, I think this is something I will never totally understand! I am talking about all these interesting communities, all this great source of knowledge, experience, thoughts, beliefs, beauty and sharing.
I guess the key word is sharing. To come out and share my wisdom. And vice versa to take in others wisdom. And by wisdom I really don't mean something huge but the unique baggage we all carry. I find this give and take of equal value. So, I try to offer a piece of my heart in whatever I do, either this is creating a post or showing my gratitude and my support to someone else's post.
Obviously with my short experience here I can't say more, so I will dream big in the next question!
2. How would you make HIVE a better place?
Consistency is the other key word! Not only in HIVE but in our lives in every aspect. Consistency is an admirable virtue in my opinion. I would like to become a consistent blogger with quality content. I would like to share my humble knowledge in herbalism, animism, gardening, farming, weaving and all the things I am passionate about.
Communities have surprised me, they work as a connective tissue for so many different persons that share a common interest and I find it fascinating. Maybe some time with more experience I would like to get more involved in communities that give me a sparkle.
And that would be a great way to support newcomers, too. I felt so welcome and so supported from Day 1 here and this is something I want to pass on. I need to do it, the feeling for me as a receiver of all this encouragement is amazing!
Dear
What is the one book that blew your mind? It doesn't have to be a favorite, just something really memorable.
It is a kid's book, a very famous one The Missing Piece Meets the Big O by Shel Silverstein. I wonder how many of you have read it. If you haven't, then do. You will read it in 5' and it will sweeten your heart for way longer. I am going to reveal a lot, so spoiler alert!
A missing piece desperately tries to find someone to fit in. After many failed attempts, it finally meets the right one. But the right one is not someone just to fit in, the other one is complete. So complete, that it can encourage the little missing piece how to evolve, grow and fully become itself complete, too, a Big O.

If you were to take 5 items of food to a desert island on which you would be stuck for 5 years, what would they be?
Can it be seeds or is it cheating??? I would definitely like to have a garden there... And where is this island? Do I know the plants? It would be nice to have some familiar and loved ones with me...
- Cocoa, cause pleasure is a necessity and my cocoa time is one of the happy moments during my day. Plus it gives me so much energy and I guess I have to do a lot on this island in order to survive :)
- Moringa, rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, is a super food. A few kilos could be enough for 5 years :)
- Potatoes! Easy to cook, filling, tasty and work good as a base or as a complement. And you could just plant some and cultivate it so easily (cheating again?)
- Garlic! It gives extra taste to everything, plus again like potatoes it would be easy to cultivate (seeds may not be allowed, but we can be flexible!) In ancient Greece, soldiers and athletes were eating garlic before the battle or the game as they believed it gives courage and helps you be brave. I think I could feel a bit overwhelmed being stuck in a super isolated place (although I usually enjoy being in such places!) so I would take it for encouragement, too :)
- Olive oil please!
Are you a dog or a cat person?
Definitely a dog person. I can't imagine life without having a fellow dog by my side. Unconditional love, they are masters! And apart from masters, I have noticed that they work as a mirror and this can be very revealing, but also very helpful if you have the mood to do some deep healing with yourself.
What's your very first memory from childhood?
My parents love walking! They were taking me and my brother every day for a quick or a longer walk. I remember the joy when my father lifted me up and carried me on his shoulders, what a feeling of carefree happiness!
What is the last song that was stuck in your head, that you love (not a horrible ear worm thanks!) or woke up to happily humming?
I am struggling with lots of things right now. I enjoy all of them, but all of them also have deadlines and some day by day rising pressure. I realized at some point that Three little birds by Bob Marley has stuck in my head and I sing it all the time. And it works, it slows down my heartbeat and lightens the pressure!
Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
And now my turn, I would like to invite 
So, these are my questions for you or whoever finds it interesting and would like to participate!
- What is the very first thing you do in the morning?
- How do you practice self care?
- Do you remember your dreams and do you pay attention to them?
- Do you trust your intuition?
- Happiest moment in weird 2021?
Thank you all so much!
If you would like to know more about me this is my introduction post!
