About the Author:
Alinka Rutkowska is a
"Reader's Favorite" Five Star Picture Book Author. She writes the
"Maya & Filippo" Book Series for Children - travel books for kids
with a positive attitude. She takes inspiration from her own travels while
cruising with her husband and daughter around the world. She is positive,
appreciative and happy 95% of the time and during the miserable 5% she thinks
to herself quickly: "things always work out for me" and they do.
Alinka's doesn't really have a
"to do" list but she does have a "fun things to do" list.
It usually consists of writing, reading, reading her writing, writing in her
diary, blogging, reading other blogs, commenting, breathing deeply, meditating,
feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin, closing her eyes, breathing some
more and thinking what a wonderful world she lives in.
Sometimes she takes a few minutes
to pause and instead of doing something from her "fun things to do"
list she just daydreams a little. She thinks of all the great things that she
wants for her to happen and imagines how wonderful it will feel to be
interviewed about them in the future. She's already preparing the answers to
those interview questions in her mind. She especially loves the part, in which
she says that she achieved all these things because she spent a considerable
amount of time visualizing them first.
Alinka loves to ski while listening
to music at the same time, she enjoys an occasional glass (or bottle) of Barolo
with dark chocolate, she loves cuddling with her husband and daughter. Alinka
really likes tea, especially that last sip which is usually the tastiest.
