A Pause to Reflect and Strengthen Faith!

Thank you all for your support. I will be taking time away from writing until mid-January 2026.

Wishing you joy and peace this Christmas and may the New Year sparkle for you in all respects!  

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Hvala vam svima na podršci. Od pisanja ću odsustvovati do sredine siječnja 2026.

Želim vam radost i mir ovog Božića i neka vam Nova godina blista u svakom pogledu!

“Jer nam se dijete rodilo, sin nam je podaren; i na njegovom će ramenu biti vlast. I nadjenut će mu ime: Divni Savjetnik, Moćni Bog, Otac vječni, Knez mira. Veličina njegove vlasti i mira neće imati kraja. On će kraljevati na prijestolju Davidovom i nad njegovim kraljevstvom, utvrđujući ga i podupirući pravdom i pravednošću od sada pa dovijeka. Revnost Gospodina Svemogućeg to će učiniti.“ (Izaija 9: 6 – 9)

    Wishing you a blessed and Merry Christmas season! Joyeux Noel! It seldom snows here in the metro Washington, DC area. Here’s a virtual bottle of wassail and sugarplums.

I’m Ina

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia.  I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
