Here is BRANKA'S bio;

Dear Marilyn and Team,

It is great honor to be featured here at your "Parade of Stars". Thank you very much.

 

Here is my biography:

 

I was born on 2nd of October 1961 in a village about 54 km far from capital of my ex country Yugoslavia, as a first of two daughters.  Now I live at Belgrade, town with 2.000.000 inhabitants, town with so special soul, easy for recognition,  and the capital town of Serbia (Balkan , South-East of Europe)

 

 

After finishing Grammar School, I studied Philosophy and after finishing it I started learning to be a professional massage therapist.  When I have discovered massage, a profession that can take all of my too much energy, I thought I was born again.  Now I am for 21 years a very good massage therapist, with a thousands of very ill and handicapped people who are much better after my treatments. 

 

I am author of "Diasoso Therapy - Manual for Hand Massage", a book and a video-film with the same title.

 

I am a single parent of Luka who is near 18.  After our divorce, his father  never asked for him.  That's life.

 

My present life time "journey" can be described as intensive walk from thorns to stars and back ... Great life lessons, throug different aspects of collective and personal adversity, were enlarged and replaced with some oasis  of peace and joy, just for the short resume of  learned lessons.

 

When my son was 10 months old, I was imprisoned.I spent 87 days under investigation.  A civil war in my country didn't begin at this moment (the end of October 1990), but political tensions were so strong.  As a hard worker I could say I was rich.  These days a lot of rich people of my nationality were killed.  I had a very, very good luck (!?) and I was only imprisoned.  Incrimination which I was investigated for were ............ so terrible.  I couldn't imagine how should I prove my innocence.  My crying time is seldom .  But this day, 24th of December 1990 , while I have heard that my son already had two teeth, and I might not see him again, I couldn't stop crying.  At 11 PM I have fallen on my prisoner's bed and, for the very first time in my life, I said inside, in my heart: Lord, why did you leave me alone?  After that all my senses were embraced with uncommon peace.  After one more month I was free.  I am sure that this freedom came after my first prayer.  But, I didn't know much about any religion, and I didn't know any of prayers.  So, again as a free person. I felt a strong impulse to discover my spiritual path, MY OWN TRUTH.

 

Until my 30th year my soul was fed by Classic Germans Philosophy and my favourite Friedrich Nietzsche.  So, religion was so far from me.  Seeking for my spiritual being,  I could perceive  that, in some strange way, I am not alone and that I have to go ahead. I think without my spiritual development I could not survive all what came in front of me.

 

After prison I received another call from h*ll master: a divorce.  My ex husband and his family hated me and our son.  A great psychics and social torture opened me a door of deeper observation about life.  If I allowed this machine to do with me all what it is programmed to do, I knew, I am lost!

 

Here in my country we say that the worst Jewish course is "I pray God to give you all what you want and then to take all these from you."  Ho-ho!  My next lesson was right this one.  Divorce was not finished yet when a civil war began.  Luka was 16 months old, and I had only a few pampers and him in my arms when I reached a state of refugee.  Foreign surroundings, no one friend ... Next few war years I had a unique opportunity to see how humans can be strong and smart. I am grateful that  I have experienced : there's no good, nor bad .  All what comes, comes to show us the whole of our capacity.  We may never be asked a questions that we don't have instruments to answer them.  So, I didn't suffer, instead I make decision to retrieve all my generic wisdom. 

 

My Serbian nationality was demonised and anathematised world wide.  We were under international isolation for years.  Days and days I spent looking for bread or milk or oil, sugar, detergent, together with hundreds around me.  Each time I could make a great fun and make them laugh and start thinking differently.

 

 

After all these events, through which I have spent 17 the best years of my life, I can say that I dream about a better world and I'm sure it will come very soon.  Human beings will have no choice. I expect much better days ahead.

 

I write poetry, novels and essays and some of them were published in my country. I am crazy about musics and dance. I like classics music, Russian Gypsies, old good rock`n`roll and chansons. Very much I enjoy cooking, making wonderful cakes, gardening, knitting; I enjoy all what I do each moment of day.

 

Here at ALP I found wonderful friends, very positive and inspiring atmosphere and I feel blessed beacuse of it.

 

Bless all of you and embrace with love of my soul!

 

Sincerely,

 

Branka Babic
