Never apologize for...

1. Never apologize for acting on your instincts. Listening to your body – then taking action on what you hear – is the hallmark of heroic people.

2. Never apologize for all the tears you’ve cried. Crying cleanses the soul. Shoot for once a month. Even if it’s just a brief mist at a tender moment in a sad movie.

3. Never apologize for anything in your portfolio. If you feel the need to do so, it probably doesn’t belong in your portfolio in the first place.

4. Never apologize for asking for what you need. The answer to every question you DON’T ask is always no.

5. Never apologize for asking questions. When you stop asking questions, you don’t just run out of answers – you run out of hope.

6. Never apologize for asserting yourself. The word “assert” comes from the Latin asserere, which means, “to claim, maintain or affirm.” And that’s exactly what you’re entitled to: Your opinion. Your belief. Your say. Let nobody take it away from you.

7. Never apologize for being a health nut. Next time someone says, “What are you, on a diet or something?” look them straight in the eye and say, “Yeah – you got a problem with that?” Then, when they back down, you go right back to eating your tofu.

8. Never apologize for being a newbie. Everyone great chess master was once a beginner.

9. Never apologize for being early for an appointment. In the history of Corporate America, no employee has ever been fired for consistently arriving ten minutes early to every meeting.

10. Never apologize for being funny. The world is too damn serious. We need you. Seriously.

11. Never apologize for being human. Once you do, you’re no longer human – you’re a cyborg.

12. Never apologize for being passionate. Unless you’re passionate about stabbing strangers with broken Coke bottles.

13. Never apologize for being smart. That’s the ONE thing the government, the media (and every other entity that’s trying to control you) is terrified of: Smart people who take action. Be one of those people.

14. Never apologize for being the age that you are. It’s just a number. “A chicken ain’t nothing but a bird,” as my Grandpa likes to say.

15. Never apologize for breaking a rule that isn’t really a rule. Be proud of yourself for being a rule breaker. Then go break another one.

16. Never apologize for calling bullshit on someone. Especially when nobody else is the room is going to do it and this person REALLY needs to be taken to task.

17. Never apologize for demanding respect. If you’ve demonstrated that you deserve respect by giving it to others first, you’re good to go.

18. Never apologize for disagreeing. Especially if you do so respectfully. On the other hand, if you’re disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing, or because of your pathological need to be right, that’s a different story.

19. Never apologize for expressing yourself. That’s all “leadership” is: The full, free expression of your truth. Don’t say you’re sorry for that.

20. Never apologize for falling in love. Your heart’s calling the shots.

21. Never apologize for falling OUT of love. Your heart’s still calling the shots – even when you throw up an air ball.

22. Never apologize for getting something off your chest. That which you suppress will find a home in your body. And then it will trash the place.

23. Never apologize for giving it your best shot. As my Grandpa also reminds me, “You do the best you can with as many as you can.”

24. Never apologize for growing up privileged. As long as you scrap the entitlement attitude, remain grateful for everything you’ve ever been given and respect the life situation of those who are less fortunate, it’s all good.

25. Never apologize for having an overabundance of love in your life. Instead, circulate what you’ve got. Pay it forward. Share it. People need it.

26. Never apologize for lack of experience. Instead, share your Learning Plan; demonstrate your dedication to lifelong learning and practice becoming the world’s expert at learning from your experiences.

27. Never apologize for lack of information. Ignorance is acceptable. Staying ignorant, however, is stupid.

28. Never apologize for liking stupid movies. Movie snobs annoy me. Some of my favorite movies are among the most ridiculous films ever made. So I love Cliffhanger...or Salaam Namaste. Sue me.

29. Never apologize for living your truth. Few things in the world are more important.

30. Never apologize for looking out for yourself. Self-preservation is a primary driver of human behavior. It’s how we’re wired.

31. Never apologize for loving yourself. If you do, you probably don’t love yourself as much as you thought.

32. Never apologize for making a decision from the heart. Remember: It’s not thee truth – it’s YOUR truth.

33. Never apologize for needing alone time. Solitude is soil. Solitude is medicine. And if you don’t get your fix every day, your life will suffer.

34. Never apologize for needing to use the bathroom. Once a girl in my class walked out of the room and actually said to the teacher, “I have to pee, I’m SO sorry.” Unbelievable.

35. Never apologize for not being there when someone called. You have a life, too. People can’t expect you to wait eagerly by the phone all hours of the day.

36. Never apologize for not embracing someone else’s agenda. Especially if that agenda robs you of your true talent.

37. Never apologize for occasional absentmindedness. Everyone’s brain farts.

A Quick Note From a Dentist

OK, so I wear braces. Last time when I went to my orthdontist (a dentist who has been specially trained to do orthodontics) I asked him about discoloration of teeth and stuff. I'm obessed with a perfect smile ;)
So as we all know it's caused by different kinds of food, coffee, red wine and tea. And he told me that especially green tea makes most of discolorations out of all teas... :(
What a bummer. I love green tea!!!
I'm still gonna drink it though :)

If you're a tea lover as myself I thought you should know.

Recipe: Tiramisu

Hello girls!!
I'm not the best cook, so all the recipes I share with you are VERY easy, but yummy :) I also don't like to spend half a day in a kitchen...
By practicing this way (by cooking easy things) I noticed I became a bit better cook. I hope this post won't bore you but actually will be helpful and will make you wanna try it.

So right now time for non-alcoholic TIRAMISU! Tiramisu is a famous Italian cake.
Very easy! Delicious! No baking.



Ingredients that you'll need:


4 eggs, lady finger biscuits, 12 Tablespoons of icing sugar or regular sugar, 250g of mascarpone cheese, a mug of strong coffee, cocoa






1. Mix all of the 4 yolks with 8 Tbl spoons of sugar for about 10 minutes untill you get that creamy consistency.






2. Add mascarpone cheese to it and mix it with the spoon.






3. Now in another bowl, whip the egg whites with a tiny bit of salt (salt stabilizes the whites and adds volume). Use mixer set at medium-high. While you're beating, gradually add the rest of sugar. The foam/cream you'll get need to be pretty hard, can't droop.









4. Mix those 2 creams, that you got, into one. You'll get beautiful creamy mass.






5. Place lady finger biscuits in a form and make them wet with coffee.






6. Cover them with half of the cream you've made.






7. Put another layer of biscuits. Make them wet with coffee as well.






8. Cover it with the rest of the cream.






9. Cover the whole thing with a thin coat of cocoa. It will make it look nice. Put the whole thing to the fridge for 4 hours!






10. This is what it looks like after 4 hours.






11. Enjoy!

A very cute and touching short story!

A 10 year old boy went to an ice cream shop and asked how much a big cone cost. The waiter said "15 pesos" the boy started counting how much he had in his wallet. Then he asked "how much a small cup costs?" The waiter said "12 pesos". The boy asked for a small cup, he had it and paid the bill, and left. When the waiter came to pick the empty cup, he was touched. The boy had left 3 pesos as a tip for him.

Recipe: Melon Sorbet

I love easy recipes for yummy things. This is one of them. :) The difference between sorbet and ice cream is that sorbet doesn’t contain milk nor eggs. Thanks to that it has less calories. You can make it using different fruits like strawberries, oranges, raspberries, lime-mint, mango, pineapple and more. But I recommend using melon. It’s my favorite along with mango.



Ingredients:use your favorite kind of melon, powdered sugar, little bit of lemon juice
Blend all the ingredients together in a blender. Then put it to the freezer for about 5 hours. 15 minutes before serving remove from freezer and let stand at room temperature until partially thawed. Blend it again to crush the ice. Enjoy!!!
