Where do I start? The journey that I will be sharing with you is a unique childhood full of joy, dreams, and love. This was followed by another journey, facing reality and mixing with dreams at another stage in life—a teenager to stage of young adulthood. Long story short, I will let you judge the rest, but the first part of the story is the unique childhood. Why? It was spiritual and full of dreams. It was about witnessing miracles and connecting directly with God and prophets. It’s about a strong belief rather than religion and cultural system, and about dreams in combination with strong beliefs that made this long and challenging journey interesting. I wish there were enough words that I could describe the mind and feeling of a young child who has a strong belief in herself and her dreams, and to describe such a sight as witnessing miracle.
Here is this young girl born as a second child in this home, being a first daughter in a young family. Her family is conservative, non-political and middle-of-the-road in religion and politics—but rich in culture. Let’s describe the environment as very family-oriented; a working father, and the city life with a country background. Visiting suburbs, villages, and farms …. I can’t say enough about the purity of that nature, the fresh air, delicious water, and food, and warm hugs, meaningful love, caring, and more ... it is not going to be enough, so I will stop.
