Do I have connections in the US,UK+other diplomatic circles? Some are profoundly ignorant+they still dont know who they're attacking. When I take action,it means I've waited long enough+I know what I'm doing.Time to detox&go to the concert! ⬇️ Tchaikovsky restaurant @HotelMoskva (Moscow) in Belgrade🍸

I’ve tried to do my best to change things for the better wherever I went & whatever I did. Showing #humility is the key for growth while showing your limits is a sign of #wisdom. Keep going, keep growing! ☀️#naturealwaysteaches #rewired #walkers #process #weekend #wellbeing

Back to morning walks in the neighborhood ☀️ Just 2000 steps but maintaining a well-balanced practice of movement is key to enduring all illnesses, including the chronic ones. #grounded #bluesky #greenspaces #reset #restart
