Thank y...I'm so happy to see you here, my dear! Thank you for kind words! People are communal creatures indeed, even though the modern Western world is highly individualistic. But I see that even very individualistic Americans value the feeling of belonging to their local community, or artistic community, or whatever else is important to them. To us, immigrants, it is vital to find and connect with people who speak our language and share our cultural background... I wish you from all my heart to find a friend or two, and maybe you can start your own Polish community in the Northern France! That's how I started my community many years ago - it wasn't easy in the beginning to even find people, but then it started growing crazily... I'll write a book about that one day. Lots of love!

The feeling is ama...Thank you so much, my dear Ann! The feeling is amazing - but it is really humbling, too. There are so many wonderful people doing wonderful things in life - and we all are in this together!<br /><br />I agree with you about Asians. I visited Taiwan many years ago, and in their overpopulated big cities, people do wear masks a lot more consistently, whether it is in relation to smog, or flu and things like that. I think it's a good thing. Here in PNW, air is good usually - the forest and the ocean do their things! But in some places, we have problems with wood smoke - too many people here use wood stoves in winter (the climate is so mild that old houses don't have a proper insulation. Government initiates programs for such households to convert into more modern ways of heating (our cottage got the upgrade), but there are still too many houses that use wood stoves around here, which isn't good for our lungs. And of course forest fires were really bad this summer. But it seems to be back to normal now, so we enjoy our blue skies again!<br /><br />Lots of love!Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-40280062706200983822018-09-01T14:27:46.652-07:002018-09-01T14:27:46.652-07:00Thank you, my dear Tina!

You know, it's exactly how I felt during the fair - and how I feel now, but for the longest time it really was a monster in my head... It really is all about SHARING - sharing our gifts with each other, we all have different gifts, and mine happens to be writing as well as bringing people together and sharing the joy of life through community events.

There was a boom in Poland some time ago but the air was really bad with dusty smog and all. I don't wear mask but hey, I'm a smoker so ehmm...should stop this habit first I guess:)<br /><br />Congrats on the new experience. Your stall looked very nice and I love that you wore platok! I wish we had community meetings at my place. It would be nice to speak Polish once in a while...except just monologuing to Bastet:P<br /><br />Kisses!:))ToTylkoJahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127354467687266821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-35453209421830799752018-08-29T10:49:19.600-07:002018-08-29T10:49:19.600-07:00I'm so pleased for you!

You are looking quite radiant standing behind your lovely pitch. Anya is growing more beautiful by the day, and she is looking so grown up in these photos. Good to hear that the air quality is slowly getting better, and that Justin is taking the necessary precautions for his health. I think in some Asian cities the air quality is bad all the time, with lots of smog, and people are used to wear these masks. I see quite a lot of Asian visitors in Antwerp wearing masks even if it's not so bad over here.
