The new year is coming, the new beginning, time to close the old chapter, people are getting a lot of conscience and... Of course, New Year's resolutions. 

We all know those who create entire lists with dreams that they want to come true in the upcoming twelve months... And wait until it happens. We all know that there are those who, to motivate, add faith and keep their promise given to themselves, announce it to the whole world. 

And me, well... Maybe I'm too modest, not very effusive, but I haven't written a book about how many things I would like in a sprinting year. I don't have much to say or brag about the hundred-meter list of ideas and dreams awaiting coming true. 

I'm not waiting for gift from heaven because I know I won't get it. I know that nothing will come to me by itself. I have no dreams for 2020. I have goals. I don't wait for things that happen wonderfully themselves. I don't say "I would like". No, because I know that I can, that I am able to do that, that I can afford to bring my dreams to life, which I set the deadline for, dreams that are no longer dreams, but something more important and more powerful - goals. Goals that are within my reach. Because I'm strong. Because I believe. Because I have this something in me. Because if not me, then nobody. 

I know that it won't t be easy, that there will be a great fight, sweat, blood and tears. I know it's gonna cost me a lot of stress, patience and sacrifice. But nothing is effortless. There is no success without work. There is no victory without faith. 

The new year starting in a few hours is for me the beginning of a completely new life. The beginning of what I have been waiting for for years. The beginning of what faith and self-confidence gave me. Believing that I am someone who can, who is able to achieve anything, who has the strength that many lack. This year is not a year of dreams and rocking in the clouds. This is a year of goals and successes. This year is a huge step for me, a step towards what seemed impossible a year ago. 

And you, enter 2020 under the sign of dreams or goals? Do you act or only want? Take or just wait for the gift from heaven? The decision is only yours.

"Venice is flooded"

 Every day I stay in many places around the world, every day I receive hundreds of information about more or less surprising events from all around the globe, and yet this one still rings in my mind... 

Have you ever wondered how it is to suddenly hear that one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a place that was your home for quite a long time, was flooded by a wave of great water? Shock? Disbelief? Just like that. A feeling that no one really wants to experience, and that's how I felt when I realized that Venice was drowning. 

Being there, walking everyday through the streets of a floating city, I never thought that someday it could be drown. At least not in the current or next century. Meanwhile, a few months after my move, I received sad news about the damage that may never be rebuilt again. Sadness, nostalgia, regret, it's hard to describe the difficulty of accepting this. My streets, my everyday life, nooks and crannies where I spent my free time, my days off... Began to look more like a pool or a lake, than the historic surroundings that the world loved. The sight of legendary streets under water just hurt. It stung my eyes and heart. 

And even though now it would seem that it's better, that the situation has improved... The losses that this famous city got because of water caused that even after making every effort to save what lives in it... This place will never again be the same as before. 

After all, I can't wait to visit Venice again, this time only as a tourist. For me it will always be a city with an unique spirit and atmosphere and no cataclysms or damages can ruin it. 

Venice, see you soon!

When the black clouds covered the sky... 

Learn to dance in the rain! Dance, love and fight! 

Life is not always perfect, easy and colorful. Sometimes there are problems, difficulties, tough days. Sometimes it's only cloudy, sometimes a small rain, and sometimes a solid thunderstorm, which - it may seem, deprives of all hope of a quick improvement of the situation and gives the headache even to the strongest ones. 

No matter how bad it is, it's never worth giving up. I have suffered a lot in my life, went through crying, fear, tears, the edge of breakdown... It was not easy. However, when a gale comes, black clouds hang over your head, the sky sparkles, and a rain of confusing thoughts and worries floods your head and you don't know what to do... Learn to dance in the rain! Don't let tears take away all your hope. Take a deep breath and think positively, because no storm lasts forever and in the end it can bring a lot of good. Use the hard time to reflect and strengthen, find positives and believe that even in the most difficult moments you can find something beautiful that will enrich, broaden your horizons, show what you haven't noticed before... Shape a stronger, better, more mature version of you. 

Don't lose hope and energy for tears and depressive thoughts, because bad time is only temporary, and every difficult moment allows you to discover in yourself layers of power that you had no idea about before. Let what you love be your light reminding that not every swirl brings havoc, and even after the biggest storms the sun comes out and roses bloom. Never forget that you still carry joy inside you. 

Wipe away tears and smile - keep a spark in your heart and don't break down, soon you will be closer to what you want in life, and sadness and worry will be forgotten. 

The seventh of December is twenty-four hours around the world, to celebrate the effort of those who create the air world. 

Today is a special day for everyone, without whom aviation wouldn't exist. So all those who work hard every day to provide us and our passengers with comfort and safety, who try to take care of the best organization and improve the operation of airports... Cabin crew, pilots, mechanics, dispatchers, gate agents, flight controllers and many, many others who are the pillars of the winged world - I wish all the best, satisfaction with your profession, the least nerves and the most joy and calm at work. 

It's you who open the gate to the sky every day for millions of people, thanks to you we have as many possibilities as we have. As a member of the aviation & airline family and flight attendant, thank you, thank you so much for your help and contact with you, for your kindness, openness and patient handling of each of my flights, our flights, what is not always easy and colorful, and often tedious and tiring. 

All those who are not involved in the industry on a daily basis - remember that aviation is not only cabin crew and pilots. It's also a lot of other people you see passing through the airport, on the way to the plane, as well as those who are down low and take care of your safety and good travel. Remember them and appreciate their work, which requires a lot of patience and dedication. They are your angels who look after you from the ground, even when you are with us high in the air. 

WE ARE ALL #UnitedBySky ❤
