Apple of my eye, Ava… 18…. ☺️❤️🎂🎉 Go be a warrior of beauty, enjoy it to the max. Be light, happy, curious, determined, joyful and silly. May there be health and love. I am super proud of you. In other words: Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay’d for. There; my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch’d, unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee! Voli te Tata, zauvijek i uvijek❤️ @avaperos #prideandjoy #18

27 years I have not been back to Abu Dhabi. Still trying to get my head around all that has been achieved here. So many emotions bubbling inside of me. Add to that some wondrous things happened and some magic is being cooked, this might as well been the best week of 2022 and that is hard to top!!! Shukran to all! #memorylane #mouthwideopen #inawe #newhorizons #cookinsomethingood @saadiyatrotana #zenspa

Unpausing…
Life is fabulous… Life is also not easy… Life gives and takes opportunities and that karmic rondo surely is defined by outstanding people that enrich that same life and take it to a completely different level. It is a beam of light, of hope and a promise of a better future. Last night I was honored to sit by one of those outstanding people that defined a big part of my life, that gave me values and an understanding that kindness and loving care gets you to unimaginable levels. An outstanding human being that shaped me to be the person I am today, with all my qualities, success and, naturally of course, my flaws and failures too because that is the Law of Opposites. It was made clear that we need to embrace both sides to grow. Mr John Hackworth is one of those educators that embedded his passion and guidance into so many students at the American Community School of Abu Dhabi for 13 years. I had the cosmic luck to take in his zest and effort for 3 years. I would not be where and how I am without his work, nay, his love and passion. While attending the Golden Gala 50th anniversary of ACS last night my sentiment was voiced by all in attendance. The indisputable fact that Mr. Hackworth had the same commitment to each and everyone of us was the song of the night. Thank you John Hackworth for existing and for shining this bright, positive, caring light on all of us. With all my love and gratitude, Luka
