Hearing the name Dietrich instantly conjures associations: war, black-and-white photography and cinema, cigarette smoke, a small stage in a tavern, an elegant maxi dress with an unusually slender waist, a massive fur collar, an icon of the era.

Divination - an intriguing matter, especially in times of change or doubt, when a person is uncertain about their future, their relationships, their financial situation, etc. One wonders what Latvia's government has divined in coffee grounds or otherwise, in approving next year's budget and action programme for preventing/not preventing the economic crisis. Whatever the case, everyone wants to know the most important things first, to intuitively sense and avoid misfortunes, to think one step ahead, to preserve relationships and stability.
It is not only for beauty that a woman chooses jewellery, especially jewellery that attracts the attention of those around her. Jewellery also serves as an attractor of the prying and unfavourable gazes of those around, and thereby also a deflector of negative energy away from the person herself. This wisdom turns out to be as old as the world itself, passed down from generation to generation.

Despite today's advanced technological world, I believe that Christmas cards in particular must be tangible and definitely handwritten (rather than printed or e-cards).

Reading specialists' articles on this topic online, the worst thing turns out to be that a sleep deficit practically cannot be caught up on - you can only scramble all your rhythms even further. Specialists claim that a person spends a third of their life sleeping. Madness, how much time is wasted, is it not?! Yet sleep is a source of energy, joy, and alertness.
Genuine joy that young people have preserved simplicity and been able to reflect their thoughts, feelings, and experiences so talentedly - both in original poetry and music, and in a successful arrangement of a familiar Latgalian folk song. Hats off!
Men expect so much from me because their minds hold an image of what I should be and what I myself have created - a sex symbol. In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairstyle. You are judged by how you look, not by who you are. Hollywood is a place where they pay you thousands of dollars for a kiss and only fifty cents for your soul.
Every morning, on my way to work, I carry an imagined armful of white roses. I open the door, say loudly - Good morning! - and in my mind I present one flower to each person. The day can begin. Outrageous, Jānis is late again! And I have no roses left... I cast him one stern glance. I know he feels it. Oh well, the main thing is not to get angry - tomorrow I must be more careful and bring one more rose.
