Sun's out. Guns outπβοΈπΉ
I have to admit that I had to force myself to go to the range because the beginning scares me a lot. I had breakes from archery many times and everytime the first step was the hardest. But I am sure that after today, things will go just better and better and my shooting will improve, as well. We have to overcome ourselves in order to achieve our goalsπͺ

Dear Bow,
I know I neglected you in the last months but so many things happened in my life that I really had no time. I lost my work and I was searching for a new one, which I found but I had to focus on it. My husband was in intensive care unit due to a virus that caused him heart problems (that's why I didn't take you to World Archery Series in Rome) and all of a sudden it was end of the year. Now, everything seems to be calming down and I hope to spend much more time with you. I miss you a lot and each time I saw other archers shooting, I was sad but full of determination at the same time. I know it will be difficult to re-start again after 5 months but I am sure that together we can make it. We re-started all over again so many times that this time I don't fear anything! Maybe there won't be tournaments for a while but I want to get back to the time where we had such a fun spending time at the range.
Sincerely,
ππΉπ°π

It's hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; but it's harder to give up when you know it's everything you want.
I am a stubborn person and this has always created me a lot of problems but I can't do anything about it. And when I turn back, I realize that my stubbornness helped me to arrive where I am now. So, why not to go for it?π

Today it's Archerology's birthday. I celebrate 5 years since I've posted my first photo on facebook. I still have the same enthusiasm, I just have less time. But I think that passion cannot be measured. It's not about time or results. It's about being happy. If it makes you happy, it's passion. And Archerology IS about passion, about enjoying what you do and about being happy. I would like say thank you to each one of you for your support, beautiful messages, for buying my jersey, for following me and giving me energy to go on as this last year wasn't the most easiest one, at all. But I made it here. And it's thanks to you, archery, my family, travelling and photography. Being creative is what satisfies me the most and keeps my mind healthy. So happy birthday to all passionate people out here and thank you for being hereπ

This is an open letter to those who love Christmas. I was searching for some winter or christmas photo to post here for a while but actually I don't have any. For 2 months I see unrealistic christmas photos everywhere. Beautiful trees and super cool dior gifts, mugs full of marshmellows and netflix in tv. A competition of who makes the cooler xmas pic. I want to say something: this is not what Christmas looks like in real life. In real life you often pass holidays without your loved ones, you don't have holidays because you have to work, you don't feel all this joy because it's a period somebody from your family passed away, maybe you don't have enough money for beautiful presents or maybe your health doesn't make you feel like this is the most magical period of the year. I want to say that Chistmas is changing completely and people are lost in virtual world. They live an ordinary life trying to make it appear as the most interesting one in the world. Maybe I am not very optimistic but I do believe we are lost in a world where appearence is a must. We want to appear perfect, beautiful, successful, happy, fullfilled, strong and rich. We appear, we don't live. We are what we are not. And it scares me a lot. What I wish you for Christmas are little things like having a door to open when you finish at work, a lips to kiss when you come home, a hand to hold when you need it. I wish you simplicity and I wish you reality.

I am so sorry to say I won't be present at Roma Archery Trophy due to several personal and familiar issues. Archery is my big passion but at the certain point I have to recognize what is a priority and what can wait. Life doesn't ask for a permission, it happens and we have to react as good as we can. I am sure there will be other possibilities to meet people who hoped to see me there. It's just a bad period, not bad life. I wish a lot of fun to everybody and shoot with styleπ

I stand with NUSensei ! Safety first, always and everywhere. I saw so many people who thought archery is a game for kids and everybody can buy professional bows and shoot without any knowledge. And I saw a few dangerous moments which fortunately finished without injuries. But there are still a lot of people out there who show archery is a bad and dangerous way. And I think all archery community should stand up together and say no to dangerous videos, photos and situations. Because our sport is beautiful. Because our sport cannot be done without knowing basic rules. Our sport has an equipement that can be considered a weapon. So knowledge and basic rules of common sense are what anybody should has as a priority.

I became a little bit tired of running a marathon every day. Waking up at 5 am, going to work, going back home, pick up my bow, take a bus (having dinner in bus), shooting and hurrying back hope to prepare dinner, clean the house, iron my shirts for work and wake up again at 5 am the next day. I really lost the pleasure of archery (and not just of it) sometimes as it was always about time and doing everything fast. It was rare that I could completely concentrate on my practice. So I decided to have a short break, 2 or 3 months until I can start to shoot outdoors again. I will surely shoot in the meanwhile but less. I need to feel pleasure of what I do when I do it. So excuse me if you'll see less archery posts. My bow is my best ally and I couldn't live without him. I just need to focus on my work right now. I can be satisfied only if my life outside shooting range works properly. And that's what I am working on right now. But I'll do spts and weights to keep my muscles readyπ Do you need breaks sometimes or you manage to do all things? I'd like to hear your experiencesπ

I am happy to say that all the Archerology jerseys have been processed and are waiting to get to the post office. It's always such a pleasure to read your messages and photos my shirt. I can't be gratwful enough that so many archers believe in my project. The shirts on the photo are just a very few of all you have ordered. I hope you will enjoy them and I hope they will bring you a lot of straight arrows and satisfying moments. Love you all!

When they catch you sunbathing instead of shootingπ€ͺπ΄π€£
That's all me. Once I am at the range, I am so happy I made it to shoot that I do everything but shooting. Archery range is my place of peace. Working at the railway station is exhausting as there is a lot of confusion and noise. Then I happen to be at this beautiful place and all I want is to enjoy it. Do you have your own place where you escape the chaos of everyday life?
