Jedna divna, mlada obitelj pustila me je blizu i podijelila sa mnom svoje emocije, očekivanja i dolazak trećeg člana. Pa onda i četvrtog. Hvala vam. ❤

Došli smo na more. Još dok plaže su usnule. Gole. Nitko ih nije pokrio šarenim ručnicima i napravio dugačak sag. Nema rezerviranih mjesta u hladu, sunca se još ne bojimo, suton je miran i okupan čarolijom. Ono mjesto uz more gdje jedemo ribice još ne radi. Niti ono drugo. Ne prodaju se palačinke uz plažu. Nitko ne glođe kukuruz ili liže prste od krafne. Trampolin ne radi. Molove su sada zauzeli intimni razgovori valova što udaraju o veliko kamenje koje je plima obojala. Klupe i njihovi rijetki gosti gledaju u more. Nema žamora. Ćuk se čuje glasnije.
Došli smo na more prije mora. Moja obitelj i ja.
More than 30 years ago there were two young couples on the same island. The power of nature and strong wind was involved to help them to meet each other. One couple helped the other one to find a shelter and that is how the story begin. They talked and laughed, played chess and shared food and become friends. The hot summer breeze they felt as they laid with bare feet in the sand come to the end. One couple lived in Amsterdam and other one in Zagreb.
It was 1985 when the letter was sent. She had read the sentence: “I am pregnant”.
She opened the dictionary and wrote the letter back to Zagreb with the sentence: “Ja sam trudna”.
Meet Jotte, my sister from another country, another town, and another mama and papa.
I am so grateful to have a second family. Three beautiful souls we can count on. This year was my eight visit to the Amsterdam. All of them were special and different from one before but this year for the first time I visited my second family as a mama.
As a observer of a sport I never watched before it was really interesting to face with my emotions during the matches. My opinion that it isn’t nice that kids fight faded away easily. Taekwondo is much more than just a fight. It is a sport. And like any other sport they have their tactics and it needs mental strength and body control. But on the first place was so wonderful to see sportsmanship between the kids. See my photo story from big international Taekwondo kids cup organised by TDK Čigra.
Ovog puta pijesak je bio drugačije boje. Naša bosa stopala nisu ostavljala tragove u njemu. Vjetar je dizao ta uspavana zrnca i pozivao ih na zimski ples. Kapci su se spuštali, oči škiljile. Nisu željele sudjelovati u toj igri. Igri vjetra i pijeska. Ali mi, mi jesmo dio te igre. Igrali smo se svakim udahom, svakim korakom, svakim pogledom, svakom kapljicom. Nas troje. Držali smo se za ruke. Jednom smo već bili ovdje. Nas dvoje i ona. Pijesak je bio drugačije boje.
U tvornici Metalska industrija Varaždin 2012. uništeno je zadnje prikupljeno oružje. U Hrvatskoj je prikupljeno više od 30.000 komada malog oružja. Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova (MUP) u suradnji sa Programom Ujedinjenih naroda za razvoj (UNDP) pokrenulo je kampanju “Manje oružja, manje tragedija”. Aktivnosti uništavanja dio su većeg regionalnog projekta s ciljem poboljšanja sigurnosti prikupljanjem i eliminacijom nezakonitog oružja diljem jugoistočne Europe.
In the MIV factory in Varaždin, the Ministry of Interior in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) closed the EU funded regional small arms project which envisioned destruction of the total number of 30,000 pieces of small arms and light weapons to be destroyed in Croatia.
