Recently, I heard a sentence no woman wants to hear. “Blanka, you gained weight!” said a friend of mine in public. And he was right. Continue reading

Loving What You Do
I just spent a few days in a small spa resort at the Czech-Polish border. Getting there included driving on small village roads and crossing a mountain range. There are not many more places so far away from our capital as this one. Here, you are not going to meet fancy cars and rich tourists. Most of the region is struggling economically and the average salary here is one of the lowest in the country. But there was something very special about people I met there. Continue reading

What is Your Life Purpose
My brother is a Zen Buddhist. His wife is a Catholic. I believe in the Creator. When the three of us discuss the purpose of life, we have seemingly different ideas. But lately I realized that on a deep level, we share similar understanding of this topic:
- We all have a purpose. We are born to fulfill certain tasks on Earth.
- We may not be consciously aware of our purpose, but at any given moment, we are either serving our life purpose, or not.
- Not being aware of our life purpose doesn’t mean that we are actually not serving it.
- It is important to discover our purpose, otherwise we often get “stuck”, unhappy and disillusioned about life.
Everyday Abundance!
My New Year started in a very prosperous way! No, I have not won a lottery, nor did I receive an unexpected check with a multiple digit amount on it. Something much more prosaic. I flew from Newark to Prague, and that trip turned out to be jam packed with abundance. Continue reading
What Do You Want to Experience in 2013?
There are 365 days, 52 weeks and 53 weekends in 2013. Sounds like a lot of time! But the truth is that this time will fly. Unless we consciously decide how we want to experience this year, it may take a different direction and leave us disappointed 12 months later. Continue reading
Your Personal Definition of Success
It is your birthright to be successful. It is also your birthright to define what success actually means to you. But most of us are so busy that we do not take time to sit down and write our own definition of success. Continue reading
Mistletoe in My Heart
After 39 Christmas holidays spent in my parents’ house in the Czech Republic, this year I will be spending Christmas for the first time in my life in the US. Being in a completely different place sets a unique opportunity to decide what I want to experience during this most special time of the year. Continue reading
Every Day Is a Gift
There is a type of class which I never expected to take, but we never know our curriculum. Life recently signed me up for the grief class. Continue reading
Embracing Change
This past weekend, I attended a two-day tai chi workshop organized by the International Taoist Tai Chi Society (“the Society”) in New York City. Tai Chi is an internal art. Often, not much is visible on the outside, but a lot is happening on the inside of the body. As I’ve been studying this ancient system for the last eight years, every time there is something new to discover. Which is good and “bad” at the same time; good because it is interesting all the time and “bad” because it requires being open and reinventing how my body performs the moves all the time.
And here is the catch. Continue reading
