About the blog



If I say that the Mischievous Words is a project I'll probably slap myself silly because something you love deserves a far more better name than just a project.

It is more of a long-lasting dream that has enabled me to put things on a small piece of the virtual world a bit more to my own degree, because here is where my creative spirit what it has been for years - and the author and columnist and actress and director and screenwriter and creative director and repertoire and costume designer and eternal child.

While I was in the process of transition to the world of "adult" and saving my desires at the bottom drawer, to wait for some braver and better days, I began to abandon my own dreams because when you reach a certain age they are considered as battling with windmills, the universe conspired and reminded me that in life only dreams make sense. Maybe he could have done it in a better and less painful way, but perhaps with such a stubbornness, it couldn't go any other way.

Therefore, I give up on any questioning, seeking reasons, and playing a general after the battle.
Mischievous Words is primarily designed as a blog with columnists texts, but over time I hope it will become much more. It is going to grow and spread in to, I hope, a mini-portal with all of my life's joys putting them in to little sectors that seek to address all of my interests that I until recently thought to be very small until I started sorting in categories.

Mischievous Words was not launched to save the whole world. It was launched to save one world (my own) and for now it is doing that more than successfully. How exactly will page further expand or narrow, I do not have a pre-written or calculated plan. All of my hopes and desires, as usual, I do not entrust to a computer program that's supposed to foretell me how and in what way, at what time and why do something with the page, rather than in old-fashioned and traditionally way put it in my own hands of my creativity and imagination for which, after all, all this has started.


"Find what you love and let it kill you," wrote Charles Bukowski. I sincerely hope that Coffee. Books. Words. do not kill me, but if that happens, I will be able, admittedly somewhat pathetic, but honestly and happily tell Mr. Bukowski, once we meet up there somewhere in the starry heights that I was killed by something I love.

A letter to my mom...

Image
Mom, I would like to tell you that I am starting to understand you. After the initial wave of happiness when you found out I was coming to you, you were overwhelmed by fear. Only a few hours after you found out that beside yours, another heart was beating, you were caught up with the magic of maternal care. You were worried if whether I'm developing properly, if I am getting weight, if you are eating enough nutrients, if you were nervous too much and if that affects me. You asked old acquaintances not to sneeze in your direction because, as you have said, you hide your pearl in yourself – and you are in fact hiding me, mom.You did not like morning crowds on the way to work. In silence you would automatically put a bag in front of you and all this, again, to protect me. All your strength was collected and left you in pain, Mom, when I saw the light of day. And that was only a drop in the sea of fears that in that moment you didn’t even think about.  Your biggest concern ...

Instead of being our self-worst critic, we should be our best support.

Ever since I can remember, I was my own greatest critic. I do not need anyone to control any of my text before sending them in and assessing whether my views are wrong or true. I do not need anyone to tell me that I can do better because I know that I can always do better. If people complimented me about ideas or texts, I would have thought – what is wrong with you, I did it in 15 minutes, is not a big deal. Then I stopped and realized that it was still a big deal. Then I recently stopped and realized how good and great things I actually did in my life, and I have not stopped and give myself an applause for longer than three seconds, or at all. Like most people who do not. How many situations I have been so strong that I did not even know you could be so strong, that I have not stopped and gave myself an applause of more than three seconds, or at all. Like most people who do not. I did not stop and gave myself an applause of more than three seconds, or at all, for that I, e...

Plum plum, chocolate and rum

Image
Today I was at the Farmers Market and I have to tell you that I am in food heaven. As the summer ended and autumn began I thought I would give you one receipt how to preserve plums and make summer last even in winter. A few years ago I got a plum and chocolate jam from a neighbor, it was fine, but it didn’t sit down very well with me, the taste was somehow a bit ordinary and nothing special. Sometime ago I again remembered that taste and I was thinking how to enhance it to be something special.   This time I was playing with some different flavors and I was thrilled when I added rum to the mix. Rum was the one who won as an aroma. Not all of you like the taste of rum, I'm aware of it, you do not need to use it, you can replace it with a vanilla flavor or just throw it out, because this combination of plums and chocolate is fine on its own. Jam is really over quickly, 5 kg or 11lb of plums I cooked for only an hour and I got a wonderful creamy jam with small...
