Do you know the words that define you?
The ones above were mine. You can tell a lot just by looking at those words.
This blog is about Daring To Live Your Truth.
You can start living Your Truth by rediscovering yourself first. Being yourself, doing what you love and are passionate about is really the only way you can make a difference in this world.
By Clarity I mean – being clear on who you are and communicating who you are clearly to the world in everything you do, including but not limited to the vocation of your choice.
You might not like some of my posts. I am not here to please everyone. I am here to be myself and express myself fully. I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say, I speak My Truth. Your Truth might be totally different and I accept it, even though I might not agree with it.
I learned that the Truth does set your free. And Freedom really is everything .
Professionally:
I write on this blog, facilitate and organize personal growth group workshops in Atlanta, create products to change people’s lives for the better(new one is coming soon) and do 1-1 coaching for entrepreneurs/aspiring entrepreneurs or anyone in search of a vocation that will be in alignment with their True Self.
Everything I do serves one ultimate goal:
Give You Clarity on:
- Who you are
- What your purpose, passions and dreams are
Help you live more consciously, with more awareness and tap Into Your Inner Source of:
- Genius
- Creativity
- Inspiration
- Wisdom..
… so you can find your way to live your life aligned with your True Self and your Authentic Vision and more meaning as a result.
What I did in the past:
I worked for a big joint venture corporation between Turkey and Uzbekistan, for a government organization (Ministry of Foreign Economic Affairs) in Moscow, Russia helping foreign entrepreneurs who wanted to start a business in Moscow region, as a marketing specialist for small startup and as an independent marketing consultant, and I once had an aspiration to start a gift registry in Russia (they still don’t have one there). I also worked as a promotional and shoot model for various small and big companies.
One thing I learned – life is too short to do anything you don’t truly enjoy.
This lesson made it all worth it. Plus the experience I gained turned out to be invaluable.
Another lesson I learned is that being your own boss is one of the quickest ways to grow because it forces you to go out of your comfort zone. It is also one of the best ways to fully express yourself, if the business you are in is aligned with who you are.
Personal:
I was born and raised in an amazing country with bold, stubborn and passionate people. The country was previously called Soviet Union and later it had broken up into many small countries. I was born in Moscow, Russia there but lived for a long period of my life in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
I came to US in late 2004. I was following the dream…and the man I loved. The man later became my husband and I still love him as a person, but we are getting a divorce. Why? Because people grow apart, because some things don’t last, because that’s what was meant to happen. Does it really matter why? We learned our lessons and had the courage to move on when things started falling apart. But we are staying best friends and I truly believe that is all that matters.
I have the most amazing 3 years old son Nicholas. He recently told me: “It’s ok to make mistakes mommy, I still love you. You know that I love you, right?” I am not a perfect mother, but I know that I did something right if I could instill this wisdom into him. I hope he’ll never lose it.
My favorite places where I feel the most aligned with who I am are bookstores, cathedrals, small cafes in Paris and in front of a fireplace.
This description of INFP personality type suits me perfectly.
I was born in November. I love autumn. There is dignity, depth, meaning, inspiration and spirit in it.
I love color red. I bet you noticed that already:)
Reading is like going to a party for my soul. Favorite book? Not sure, but one book that I have read at least 20 times is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
I crave intimacy and deep authentic connections with people.
I am vegetarian. You can eat meat in front of me, I won’t judge.
I am 28.
I am deeply in love with my life. There are challenges, life is not perfect but I wake up every morning bursting with the excitement of what the day is going to bring me.
Why do I write so much about myself? Ego? Maybe, but mostly because this blog is about discovering your True Self.

Email:
Due to the time constraints and certain priorities, I stopped answering advice type emails that I sometimes get. It is simply not practical for me to respond to “how to stay more positive if your husband is a negative person” types emails.
That said, please give me suggesstions for my next articles, send your comments, feedback etc. I will read and take it all into consideration. If you’d like to connect and talk on the phone/Skype sharing ideas etc, I am often open to that as well. Write me and we’ll see how we can add value to each other.
