It’s been a while since I last wrote here. Last weekend I traveled to Germany where, together with my partner’s relatives, we celebrated the Summer Solstice 🌷 And I’ll be honest - in the very beginning when I arrived, I was very nervous and overwhelmed by all the traveling, the heat and 30 attendees who brought their unique dishes to this event. And to make things even worse, I got bitten by a grasshopper 🦗 for the first time in my whole life, which completely triggered my anxiety and panic attack, and really needed some time to convince myself that I would be fine. 🙈 But at the end of the day, I really made it through the whole weekend, got to know new people, and (as you can see in the video), I could also enjoy our Latvian traditions, like jumping over a bonfire. 🔥 Thanks again to this amazing community - it helps to face my biggest fears and little by little I stop letting my fear limit me.
