Idea #3


“An epiphany is a realization; an opening; a portal to the Divine; growing up; a magic moment that impact you and changes you forever and you can remember it as vividly as you experienced it; a moment that changes the lens through which you view your life; our soul scratching around our head and giving us a signal to guide our lives with; a moment of descending light, open knowledge, and choice; a drastic shift in energy and change of perspective that happens in the form of a moment of clarity; something that gives you the strength to take a different direction or move forward and opens up everything; a sense of wonderment; a clarifying direction; that moment where you know your life is never going to be the same.
We don’t often speak about our epiphanies because they are held so close to our hearts. There simply aren’t opportunities in our society to share such delicate moments, and often we’re embarrassed by them. We don’t always take the time to think about extraordinary moments in our lives and what they really mean. We miss the experience of awe that comes from listening closely to others, to ourselves, and to the signs in the world around us.
It’s important not only to know other’s stories but also to honor and tell our own. When we do, we often discover things about ourselves or find a deeper meaning behind an epiphany.
There are so many amazing people around you who help weave the tapestry of your life. Notice them. Observe. Inquire. Act. Wonderful riches are to be mined from everyone around us, from those we meet in random everyday encounters to the people closest to us. So many of the people who have helped me throughout my life turned out to have riveting and important stories to share with me. Because I had never asked, I had no idea about their epiphanies. I had known them for years, but what they shared with me has given me greater insight into them and into my own life.
People will share their stories generously if they know that their experiences are respected and needed. Many people said they wanted to ask their parents or grandparents about their epiphanies, but couldn’t anymore. So do it. Share your epiphanies and ask the people in your life about theirs”.

Heart wall decor ;)


    I created the way to show how big is my heart is (just kidding).
    It’s great kind of wall frame for any photos you like. 
    Did it for first time and like the result. 
    Used the same technic like in that case and almost the same materials.

     We need:
1.     Big piece of cardboard.
2.     Colored paper napkins.
3.     Scissors.
4.     Brush.
5.     White paint.
6.     PVA glue.
7.     Decoupage glue-finish.
8.     Glue gun.
9.     Clothespins.




1.     Make a big cardboard’s heart.
2.     Paint main side of the heart and clothespins with white paint, dry.


3.     Separate color layer of napkins from others two.


4.     Smell glue on the cardboard’s heart.
5.     Glue napkins to the cardboards, dry.
6.     Cover the heart with glue-finish to fix and make it shiny, dry.


7.     Stick the clothespins to the heart, use a glue-gun.
8.     Enjoy!

Can you imagine?


    “In 1013 Mars One will conduct a global search to find the best candidates for the first human mission to Mars in 2023.”

    Anybody can apply and become an Astronaut!

     The thing that can make you think harder is the following: if you decide to go  there, you will never be back. It’s only a one-way ticket.

     I’m sure to some people it sounds like a dream, but think twice before making a decision.There is no way back, and the only people who you will be with are your team.

     This news sounded like some fiction story from a book came true.If I wanted to make my name remain  in history for a while, I would have considered this chance ☺.

    It’s a great opportunity, isn’t it?

     I also think about types of people who might apply. They have to be strong, smart and mentally healthy. They have to be ready to live far away from the environment they are used to, and they have to be ready for the uncertainty that the future holds. It’s really tough, I’m afraid to even think about it. I guess  it must be easy to write a great book about this experience, but unfortunately,this book may never reach the Earth.

One month left...


   I feel this year differently from the very beginning.
   This year I would like to celebrate each moment of my life.
   I’m waiting for Valentines Day too, the first time in my life I really waiting for this day.
   This day meant little to me before, but now I want to celebrate my love too.
   I never used hearts ornaments in my environment and outfit, never liked to wear or use something with hearts.
   But this year something changed and I want to have many things with hearts or in shape of heart in my house. I want to wear “hearts” too. It’s kind of strange for me, but I like these changes and accept them with open heart J.

Khachapuri.


    Our friend Tako natural Georgian girl, that’s why she has a big talent in cooking. Even if she cooks something for first time, it always comes out perfect J.
This time Tako baked Khachapuri and we got real masterpieces.
Here is her recipe:




She used for 4 people:

For Dough:
Flour – almost 1 kg.
Milk – 1 glass.
Yeast – 2 tab.
Olive oil – 1 tab.
Salt.
Sugar.
Warm water.

Filling:
Feta cheese – 250 gr.
Mozzarella – 250 gr.
Cottage cheese – 250 gr.
Milk – 50 ml.

Tako's method:

To make the dough, sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Warm up a glass of milk, put 2 teaspoon of yeast, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and sugar, mix everything. Make the well in the center of the flout and add the milk mix. Add enough warm water to make a dough. Let stand for 1 hour in warm environment.







Divide the dough into four equal parts. 






Flat the parts into oval-shape. To make the filling, mix 3 cheeses (grate them) and about 50 ml of milk. Put some cheese in the middle of it, leaving free edges (about 3 cm.), the edges should be closed about ¼ part of dough from every side. 




Roll the edges to the center, till the cheese starts. The middle of Khachapuri should be open, but not too loose and too open, because the cheese might melt and come out.




Heat the oven up to 350C and place Khachapuri there for about 30-45 minutes. Check the color, when they are almost ready put one egg into every piece and add small piece of butter. Leave it in the oven for 2-3 min, the egg should be "sunny side" cooked. 














The method of eating:

Mix melted cheese and egg. Tear off peaces of dough and and dip them in the mix. 




























Bon Appetite!!!
