This is how I discovered that we can learn how to handle our inner and outer world from our ’’mistakes’’. “Mistake” is usually something we don’t yet know how to handle so we are pushed by Life to do something different – only then we can change it. From every event that occurs to us as a “mistake”, we have the ability to create something new. A mistake can be the beginning of a new behaviour and a new approach of creating mandalas and Life itself. Hamsa / Hand of Miriam is a powerful protection for home against “Evil eye”. At that time I became an assistant of well-known make–up artist in Slovenia and I started to work in her Centre for healthy living, where we had various workshops and seminars. One of them was a workshop with Avigail Mor - a powerful teacher who came with all the wisdom of Kabbalah, the wisdom of Life. When we met and I introduced myself: »HI, I’m Tadeja”, she jumped with excitement: “Ooo, HODAYA that is a Hebrew name!” So, since then I also go by the name of Hodaya. HODAYA means the highest thankfulness, honour and offering food to G–d. This was the beginning of my 12–year–long journey of learning and manifesting the woman within me with the wisdoms of Kabbalah. I didn’t even have time to paint. It was a time for learning about life, cooking, massages, meeting spiritual guides, revealing the secrets of ancient sacred knowledge, sacred geometry, science of behaviour, art of speech, healing breathing, metaphysical healing... I realized that you cannot change a pattern of behaviour which affects your life with a certain way of thinking, feeling and doing, if nobody tells or shows you how to do it differently. Of course you can try it by yourself and fall one thousand times. The Kabbalah has all those answers but in the end you have to make an effort and do it yourself. 87
