Write about a few of your favorite family traditions. Every year in August our extended family gathered at my great aunt’s home. Her name was Ilona, or Ica as we all called her. Her sister-in-law, my mom’s godmother was also Ilona. So the three families, with all the grandkids gathered every year to celebrate IlonaContinue reading “Ilona Day”

Where My Love for IT Began
Write about your first computer. It was a school day, and I think I must have been on the last day of a sick leave, because my dad took me shopping with him. I was in second grade, so it must have been the fall of 1984. I lived behind the Iron Curtain, but myContinue reading “Where My Love for IT Began”

The Socks and I
My love affair with socks started early on in my life. I didn’t really like tights when I was younger, and after an 18-month mission in Sal Lake City and Southern California I especially hated tights. Then suddenly fun colored tights in my size appeared on the market, and I started to wear skirts withContinue reading “The Socks and I”
Sports and I
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? I don’t play sports.

Frankl I want to read, and one I need to finish. I enjoy reading Frankl’s own texts, and while I don’t necessarily subscribeContinue reading “Books, Books, and More Books”
Sopron
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. Sopron is a city in Western Hungary, close to the Austrian border. It’s beautiful, it used to host the one music festival that catered to my music taste, and it’s only about two hours away, but I have neverContinue reading “Sopron”
Happy Ágnes Day!
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc. I found this prompt kind of relevant, as today is my name day in Hungary. Yep, my real and full first name is Ágnes (and not Ágota, sorry!). I was named after my mother, at the insistence of my maternal grandparents, instead of the originallyContinue reading “Happy Ágnes Day!”
Where is My Ink Pad When I Need It?
So I got back into journaling recently, and I started to combine it with goal setting and goal tracking. Not quite billet journal style – I lack the discipline for that, but using some of the ideas from that methodology, while I also add my own touch to it. I think my Mission President (oneContinue reading “Where is My Ink Pad When I Need It?”
