Dear Smaller Earth and Your Big Year Lovers!

Welcome and thanks for joining!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes! THIS post is set up  JUST for YOU, so you can catch up on the last 7 days and the reasons behind this blog. As you know, my name is Tekla and I have been Project Managing YBY in 2010 ( for more info, just check out the right hand side of my blog)

This is how it all began...

2010 for me.....What a ride!!!

• I met and lost the "love of my life"
• Quit my good earning job without knowing what is next...
• Spent 10 weeks in Transylvania (Dracula Land) with my family- who I have only been visiting once a year since 2001
• Joined Smaller Earth, who introduced me to a way of living that helped me get closer to WHO I am and what I LOVE in life
• Met 24 finalists who became my friends for life! They were 24 doors into a new world! Thank you!!!

2011 for us! Yes! That is for me and YOU!

• This year is about ME! 
• Make this year about YOU! Start NOW!
• Do the things YOU want, the person YOU want to be!! If you don't know what you want, that is OK too, cause I am in that place RIGHT NOW!

 I am OFF TO THAILAND in 6 days time thanks to Smaller  Earth!!! I will take you on my journey, hoping that you will get some inspiration through my challenges.

I WARN YOU! I am still somehow LOST and searching....not knowing what my goal is. It is a confusing place, but it feels REAL one! 

REASON BEHIND MY BLOG

My mum and my 3oth Birthday!

I few weeks ago I asked my mother to describe me in 3 words when I was 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years old. Than I asked her the question for which I did not want to hear the answer. "Mum! How would you describe me now that I am getting closer to 30?" Her words crushed me, not only because they were true, but because I felt like I failed...(approaching 30 and I was everything, but the preson you knew for the last 29 years).

She said I was LOST, BROKEN, BURNT OUT! 

I knew I had 30 days to change that! To accept it and slowly move on.  Each day is a journey with challenges and blessings. Right now I am still pretty low and vulnerable without direction! So all I can do is not force things and take a leap into the unknown...And LOOK what I have found...

30 in 30 follows a 30 day trip until I am 30 years old from 17th February, Liverpool - until 18th March 2011, Ao Luk, Thailand.

The purpose of this journey is the journey itself, not the destination!

I will travel lightly with only a few goals, which I will share or might even change on the way.....I am excited about letting go of my fears, habits, egotism and open up the gifts of NOW without expectations!

PS. I'd really love you to join me on this spiritual journey and be my travel partner for a day, a week or for the whole 30 days! I'd like us to empower and inspire each other through sharing our personal experiences!

Join me and let's make time to dream, share, explore, love, live and laugh together!

Speak soon...
