A day like any other. We are sitting in a restaurant, talking about our ideas for the future. Cheerful people at the next table. They are singing, exchange Christmas gifts. Nothing unusual. They are inviting us to join them. We are agreeing. They are from Norway. Official language at the table: English.
One lady, very laud [...]

“I hope to do that someday” or “I wish to do that someday…”Sorry to tell you, but with this “hope” or “wish” words and attitude, someday usually never comes!  
We all have dreams. The point is: did you put your dream like your goal, or you are still dreaming and saying: “I will do that someday”? [...]

The Holy Night 
There was a man who went out in the dark night to borrow live coals to kindle a fire. He went from hut to hut and knocked. “Dear friends, help me!” said he. “My wife has just given birth to a child, and I must make a fire to warm her and the [...]

Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness you don’t have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why? Because we have it already. [...]

Do you know how men had learned what cellulite is? Very simple: 
Women have started to talk about cellulite everywhere and in every single moment of their life. 
Men didn’t know what is cellulite before women began to talk about it! Before, they had not seen cellulite on woman’s body or  they didn’t know it is a [...]

I strongly believe that you can have whatever you like.  I adore situations when other people say:” No, it’s not possible” or “Nobody cans that”. It’s not true!
When I want something, first I strongly believe that I will get it, I imagine myself in that “winner situation” and finally I put all my energy in that. [...]

1. Despising anything that was easy to achieve, because if no sacrifice was involved, it obviously isn’t worth having.
2. Following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable.
3. Believing that all famous people have tons of money saved up.
4. Investing a lot of time and money in external beauty and caring little about inner beauty.
5. Using every [...]

Again flying… this time Lisbon. Ella and her Man are going to celebrate their anniversary. Year before, they met each other first time in Lisbon.
Ella booked the same hotel, the same floor. [...]

Pleasure comes in many forms. This time pleasure comes in form of sweet crepes. In my “self promotion” page, I’ve mentioned that I make great crepes. Try this filling for crepes what I call “Winter sonata”.
It’s “a little bit heavy” filling. How many calories? Probably billion, but what a hell! Choose the day of the week when [...]

We all have or had experience with conflicts at work. Like a successful business woman, I had a lot of those situations. Conflict of interest or vanity can be a source of serious problems in the working environment. From my experience I can show you how you can avoid situations in which can appear conflicts of [...]

Obviously I am in a “Zen mood” today
Anyway, I hope you will like this story, too. That’s my favorite. I have put a lot of effort to find it on Internet. I didn’t bring with me my books… I didn’t know the name of the story and as I remember, that story was like [...]

I remember an old story I had read once… 
A university Professor of Philosophy came to the house of the Zen Master to ask to learn Zen.
“You are very welcome,” said the Master, inviting the Professor in for tea.
As the Master was preparing the tea, the Professor listed all his degrees and experiences and studies, going [...]

6th May, evening
CitizenM hotel at Amsterdam’s Schiphol International Airport. 
Self check-in service on touch screen terminals… Ella likes those “make your life easy” things. Contemporary design and new technologies…almost no employees… 
The beauty of the space and unusual interior design occupied Ella’s thoughts. When she was in high school, she wanted to study Architecture, especially interior design. [...]

I made a new page “Who is Ella?” I owe you that .
I like to say it’s Self promotion.
Here you can see my photos from last year. Then I had shorter hair (I wasn’t blond, like I am “a little bit” now ), I was still a business women and in that moment in [...]

I didn’t forget to continue with writing on this blog about my experiences and I am daring to say: my advices “How to get a new client”. I have been very busy lately. You know, it’s the end of the year and everybody wants to do in the last month everything what they have not [...]

People have written a lot of things about “How to simplify your life”. For example: 

Make a list of your top 5 important things
Evaluate your time
Simplify home tasks
Learn to say no
Limit your communications
Limit your media consumption 

Etc. etc…
I don’t deny it’s not useful to read about that, because they are always a very good reminder for us. [...]

What do you think about sailing around the Canary Islands for your winter vacation? What do you think to try something new? New experiences are all around us, we just have to make a decision. If we want to enrich our lives, we have to be always in the mood of “new experiences and new [...]

What we believe and why we believe it governs our thoughts, words and actions, and goes a long way towards defining how we live out our daily lives. Today we are talking about friendship.
We believe: 

That we don’t have to change friends if we accept that friends may change.
That just because two people argue it doesn’t mean [...]

Dani sent me a comment on the “Philosophy of change” story. Most of us don’t read comments on other people blogs and I was afraid that her post will be unnoticed. Her comment deserves to be a new article on this blog.
I want to say thank you to her on this way. Most of women [...]

A Lecturer, when explaining Stress Management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked:
“How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied:
“The absolute weight doesn’t matter, it depends on how long you try to hold it. If you hold it for a minute, that’s not a [...]

During the flight, Ella doesn’t talk much. She listens (like always) to the sound of  the engines and carefully looks at the faces of the stewardess…  
“And what if I notice something unusual? Can I run anywhere from 8000 m? “- she asked herself. She needs to feel the peace in her stomach…
She turns to her [...]

Relations based only on sex, relatively quickly runs out, because there is no frame [...]
