It’s a melody that immediately brings me joy and nostalgia, mainly since it’s featured in so many classic movies, like my mom’s favorite, Home Alone. But there’s something even more special about it for me – it’s originally a Ukrainian folk song called Щедрик (Shchedryk). In Ukrainian, “Щедрик” means “Bountiful” or ”Generous One.” This song tells the story of a little swallow flying into a home, bringing tidings of prosperity…

Living in sunny Arizona, I adore the warmth – even if it can be intense at times. I’ll take it any day over the cold. The sun and I have a mutual love affair; it kisses my skin generously, but this affection can lead to unwanted visitors like melasma. For years, I’ve mistaken…

My journey with the piano began when my parents brought home a fortepiano, a sleek ebony beauty that seemed to hold the key to a realm of emotions. It sat gracefully in our living room, its ebony and ivory keys like a gateway to an enchanting realm of emotions, where melodies…

Back when I was just a little girl, barely into my teens, my parents whisked me away to this magical store reserved exclusively for families of World War II veterans, thanks to my grandpa’s service and his prized store pass. Picture this: Ukraine, still firmly in the grip of the Soviet era, with a scarcity of pretty much everything. Stepping into that store felt like hitting the jackpot.

I was giving a ride to someone. As our conversation unfolded, we delved into the current state of the world. She shared with me she was a psychic, an Akashic Record reader, and an avid student of the Book of Revelation for her Bible study group.
