Epilogue

The author expresses gratitude to readers for accompanying her throughout her life and invites them to share their thoughts on the book. She reflects on the challenges of writing certain chapters and hopes her story can inspire others. The book was written in a unique way, with daily audio recordings transcribed by a friend. The manuscript had to be ready by August for publication in November. The author emphasizes the interconnectedness of everything and looks forward to seeing everyone. Dear friends, I want to thank you very much for reading all the way to the last page, and for accompanying me not only around New Zealand, but practically throughout my life so far. I will be very grateful if you get in touch with me with your comments. Write to me what you missed in the book, whether you would like more practical information or, on the contrary, more experiences. I tried for a certain balance, and to be honest, writing some chapters was not easy for me at all. But I wrote them knowing that you never know what fate will throw in your way, and that my life story can be an inspiration to other people who find themselves in a similar situation. In fact, only now that my stay in New Zealand is coming to an end, I realized what a challenge it was to manage all those adventures, and that I have moved on again. You will probably also be surprised that the entire book was written over the course of two months. We tried a little experiment with Sonička. Every day I recorded 10-20 minute audio files describing what I was experiencing and sent them to her via Facebook Messenger. Sonička then transcripted them on a laptop with a Czech keyboard and then edited them into a text. And since she is a writer by profession, she did quite well, and we managed to do it in such a short time. The end of August was kind of a deadline, by which time the manuscript had to be ready, so that the book could be published in November 2023 at the latest, and I could present it on the mentioned lecture tour in the Czech Republic. And so I would like to end all this by stating once again that everything is interconnected, and everything is related to everything. I'm really looking forward to seeing you all. With love to all, Dagmar. Tauranga, August 2023.
