It has been, Colonel Jack, quite a morning to say the least for the military. Have you ever seen a meeting like this before. I've never seen an assemblage of high ranking officers all in one spot ever.And I think it's never taken place before. I certainly not when I was serving starting in 1965, not during the Korean War, not even during the Second World War. uh where leaders were taken from all over the world from where they're supervising the defense of the republic in the far corners of the world put the ...

They're running, laughing, running around as much as they possibly can and finally find their space down on the carpet where they anxiously await to learn something new.Can you see them. Now shift your focus to the doorway where five or more students stand outside, peering through the glass. Their tiny fists bang desperately at the door.They're crying, pleading for the ...

Kroz osobno iskustvo majčinstva i rada s autističnom djecom, Jasmina poziva na promjenu perspektive: djeca s autizmom nisu ovdje da ih "popravljamo", nego da nas odrasle podsjete na istinske vrijednosti života. Uče nas prisutnosti, autentičnosti i bezuvjetnom prihvaćanju. Iako je tijekom karijere stjecala značajno iskustvo u pravnim, organizacijskim i projektnim poslovima, po prirodi nije osoba koja se uklapa u unaprijed zadane okvire. Životna prekretnica dogodila se kroz majčinstvo djetetu iz spektra autiz ...
