I'm so happy that I stopped dreaming

Over the last years I transformed my homesteading dream from having few plants on my windowsill into an allotment in Ireland, where I grow my own fruit and vegetables (and was actually able to enjoy them through the whole winter) and a nice piece of land, future real homestead in Poland.

My summer harvest

I could have continued living my good life in the city while looking with envy at houses with neglected gardens thinking that the people who live there don’t realize what treasure they have, and feeling sad that I don't have it in my life.

I chose not to. I know what I want, I know why I want it, and I'm getting it.

My future homestead and mindfulness retreat is slowly taking shape

In 2025 I will continue building the life I want for myself instead of waiting for wonder to happen. Even if it means flying back and forth between two countries and snatching moments and days. Even if it means getting dirty and tired.

Because this is not wasted energy, something beautiful is being built and even if it’s sometimes physically draining, the satisfaction and joy are indescribable.

A year ago I made a decision. And after 12 months, I am even more convinced that that’s the right path. I will build my homestead, and I will create the base for a simple life, close to nature, an oasis for tired minds and a place where it’s possible to feel the pure joy of being, a space that will allow us to hear our own thoughts and dreams.

A year ago I decided that it’s time to start the next important phase of building what I want in life.

I crated a strong vision, so appealing that I can’t resist the urge to keep working towards it. So the challenges don’t discourage me. And I see every step forward , even the smallest progress as a huge win.

Yes, there are hard work, sacrifices and moments of doubts. But not doing it is not an option anymore. I know that letting the fear of failure hold me back would leave me in a state of deep regret and self-reproach.

My new year’s resolution is to continue developing the homestead project, in both countries, small one in Ireland with my allotment and a big one in Poland, my future home.

But I am not going to rush anymore. I want to have time to enjoy my life, and notice the beauty around me.

I want to witness the change of the seasons in the treetops.

I want to see how the sunrises and sunsets change the sky outside my window.

I want to appreciate the beauty that surrounds me and witness the wonderful results of my work, the food I grow and can share with others.

That’s my new year’s resolution – choose my doing wisely, to create space for what’s important, for feeling alive and experience joy in the simplest things.

Have a wonderful year Everyone!
