Máš někdy pocit, že jsi na vše sama? Tak už nejsi. Jsme v tom spolu. Jsem máma od dvou, která se učí milovat rozmanitost, kterou život přináší. Vytvořila jsem prostor pro myšlenkové pochody, ve kterých si každý najde své. Ráda bych otevřeně mluvila o všem, co mi pomáhá přijmout to jaká jsem ale i to, co dělám proto abych si plnila sny.
