I was born in this very free part of the world and that's probably why, like so many others, take it for granted. I absolutely adore books and grew up surrounded by thousands of them in my home as a child and now have thousands of my own, so I cannot even imagine having to sneak around to acquire them on the black market. Milana, I am so pleased for your success and the way you appreciate it. I am not experiencing much online success, one reason being that I am not focused on any one thing. I am not sure how we first connected, but I am glad that you keep in touch with me. I hope to soon have some success to share with you. Be well, always! Yvonne Finn Hello Milana,

Thanks for your warm email and for sharing a bit of your personal story, it is very humbling yet inspiring all at once.

I was born in this very free part of the world and that’s probably why, like so many others, take it for granted.

I absolutely adore books and grew up surrounded by thousands of them in my home as a child and now have thousands of my own, so I cannot even imagine having to sneak around to acquire them on the black market.

Milana, I am so pleased for your success and the way you appreciate it.

I am not experiencing much online success, one reason being that I am not focused on any one thing.

I am not sure how we first connected, but I am glad that you keep in touch with me.
I hope to soon have some success to share with you.
Be well, always!

I am touched and inspired by your comments! Thank you!

I moved here from Colombia when I was 6 and have become a full blown American, gladly. I have gone back and have memories of what it was like to live there and I can say with full conviction that there are many people in this country that don't understand what they are taking for granted. Thank you for sharing your story and continuing to inspire us with your brilliance and generosity of spirit. As I grow my business, I think about how fortunate I am here to be able to have a business like this in a country like this. Thank you again. Lia Milana:

My parents immigrated from Estonia so I was raised with the same work ethic as you and belief that America is the land of opportunity where anyone can become anything they desire. The only requirement is that we must be willing to work for it. My parents came to Ellis Island with only one suitcase of rags, no money and not even a working knowledge of the English language. I finally learned to speak English when I went to school. Please believe me, if Milana can do it and I can do it, YOU can do it. God bless America! I absolutely agree and understand.

Americans don't really understand the American dream..." He said that it takes being born in different country to truly embrace what it means to enjoy the freedoms that people who were born and raised in the U.S. take for granted. I think this mindset affects our work ethic, too. Thank for the post.

Only with fresh eyes and an open heart and mind can the freedoms and blessings of the American life be truly understood. So many people in this country have chosen to be jaded and cynical about nearly every aspect of life, not only within the framework of their freedoms and advantages of US citizenship, but about the world and Life in general. I am saddened by this, and find it impossible to understand or accept. It hurts to feel strongly about things, but it hurts worse not to feel at all. Thank you for having the courage to change your life course and join the American Journey.....and for creating this amazing career you have developed. You have much to teach us, and are doing so in a lovely way. Blessings to you and all your family, and Happy 4th of July, Melissa C Williams Boise, Idaho Dear Milana,

I take my freedom so very much for granted, yet I know that if my grandparents had not had the courage to come over from Ukraine (yes!) and Kiev so many years ago, your early story could have been mine, too. When one of my Russian uncles visited us in the early 70s, he was astonished to the point of weeping at the sight of the aisles full of food at our local supermarket. He had never experienced such a dizzying array of food, such an easy abundance of goods and fresh produce all in one place. I need to remember his story and yours, especially during these tough times. These times are really not so tough after all. We are free. Thanks for the reminder. Margie Cherry Milana:

It touches my heart and I very much appreciate you sharing your love for the freedom we have here in the U.S. May none of us ever take it for granted. Thanks, Milana for sharing your freedom story.
